Easy-RSA is a toolkit to create Public Key Infrastructures (PKI). In this tutorial, we will go through the steps to install Easy-RSA on NetBSD from the official Github Repository.
Before starting the installation process, we need to make sure that NetBSD is updated and upgraded to the latest version. To update and upgrade NetBSD, execute the following command:
sudo pkgin update && sudo pkgin upgrade
To install Easy-RSA on NetBSD, follow the steps below:
First, we need to install Git to clone the Easy-RSA repository. Run the following command to install Git:
sudo pkgin install git
After installing Git, we can clone the Easy-RSA repository. Run the following command to clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/OpenVPN/easy-rsa.git
Once the repository is cloned, change the directory to the Easy-RSA directory using:
cd easy-rsa/easyrsa3
Next, install Easy-RSA with the following command:
sudo ./easyrsa install
After installation, you can verify the installation of Easy-RSA with:
./easyrsa
This will display EasyRSA Usage options.
That's it! In this tutorial, we have successfully installed Easy-RSA on NetBSD from the official Github repository. With this toolkit, you can create Public Key Infrastructures (PKI) for secure communications.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
