Calagator is an open-source, Ruby on Rails-based event calendar application that is specifically designed for communities. This tutorial will guide you through the step-by-step process of installing Calagator on OpenBSD.
Before you begin the installation process, you must ensure that your OpenBSD system fulfills the following prerequisites:
Follow these simple steps to install Calagator on OpenBSD:
Update the package database and install the prerequisite packages using the following commands:
$ doas pkg_add ruby git postgresql-server
Next, create a PostgreSQL user account and database for Calagator using the following commands:
$ doas su - _postgresql
$ createdb calagator
$ createuser -P calagator
Switch back to your regular user and clone the Calagator repository:
$ git clone https://github.com/calagator/calagator.git
Navigate into the cloned directory:
$ cd calagator
Install the necessary gems using Bundler:
$ bundle install --deployment --without development test
Once the gems are installed, create a .env file in the root of the project using the following command:
$ cp .env.example .env
Edit the .env file and set the DATABASE_URL variable to the appropriate value for your PostgreSQL installation. For example:
DATABASE_URL=postgres://calagator:password@localhost/calagator
Run the following command to generate the database schema and seed the database:
$ bin/rake db:setup
Next, start the server:
$ bundle exec rails server
Once the server has started, open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost:3000. You should now see the Calagator homepage.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed Calagator on your OpenBSD system. You can now use Calagator to publish, search, and subscribe to community events.
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!
