Baserow is a free and open source no-code database builder that allows you to create databases, tables, and data with a clean and easy-to-use interface. In this tutorial, we'll show you how to install Baserow on OpenBSD.
Before you start, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
To install Baserow, we first need to install its dependencies. Run the following command to install Python 3 and pip:
$ doas pkg_add python3 py3-pip
Next, clone the Baserow repository by running the following command:
$ git clone https://github.com/bramw/baserow.git
This will create a directory named baserow in your current working directory.
Next, navigate to the baserow directory and run the following command to install Baserow and its dependencies:
$ cd baserow
$ doas pip3 install -r requirements.txt
This will install all of the dependencies required by Baserow.
Before we can start Baserow, we need to configure it. Rename the .env.example file to .env using the following command:
$ mv .env.example .env
Next, open the .env file using your preferred text editor:
$ vi .env
Update the following variables with your desired values:
ALLOWED_HOSTS=
DOMAIN_NAME=
SECRET_KEY=
Note: The values for SECRET_KEY and DOMAIN_NAME should be long random strings of characters.
Finally, start Baserow by running the following command:
$ doas python3 manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000
This will start the Baserow server on port 8000 and bind it to all network interfaces.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Baserow on OpenBSD. You can now access Baserow by navigating to http://<your-server-ip>:8000 in your web browser.
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!
