Installing BOSH on OpenBSD

This tutorial will guide you through the steps to install BOSH on your OpenBSD system.

Step 1: Install Required Dependencies

Before you start the installation process of BOSH, make sure that the following dependencies are installed on your system:

• curl
• git
• ruby
• bundler

If any of these dependencies are not installed, you can install them using the OpenBSD package manager:

$ doas pkg_add curl git ruby bundler

Step 2: Download and Extract BOSH

To download and extract BOSH on your system, run the following command:

$ curl -L https://s3.amazonaws.com/bosh-cli-artifacts/bosh-cli-6.4.6-linux-amd64 -o bosh
$ chmod +x bosh
$ sudo mv bosh /usr/local/bin

This will download the latest stable version of BOSH and install it on your OpenBSD system.

Step 3: Create BOSH Configuration

First, make a directory for your BOSH installation:

$ mkdir bosh

Then use the following command to set up your configuration:

$ cd bosh
$ bosh-init create-director ./bosh.yml

This will create a BOSH configuration file ./bosh.yml, which you can edit to configure BOSH to your liking.

Step 4: Start BOSH Director

To start the BOSH Director and make it available for use, use this command:

$ bosh-init deploy ./bosh.yml

This will start the BOSH Director and deploy it on your OpenBSD system.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed BOSH on your OpenBSD system. You can now start using it to deploy, manage, and scale your applications.

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!
