Chef is a powerful automation platform that allows you to manage your infrastructure as code. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps to install Chef on OpenBSD.
Before you begin, make sure you have the following:
The first step is to update your system. Open a terminal window and run the following command:
sudo syspatch
This command will update your OpenBSD system to the latest security patches.
Next, install the required packages for Chef. Run the following command:
sudo pkg_add ruby25 ruby25-dev gcc cmake gmake openssl
Now that we have installed the prerequisites, we can install Chef. Run the following command in your terminal window:
sudo gem install chef
This command will install the latest version of Chef on your system.
To verify that Chef has been installed successfully, run the following command:
chef --version
This command should output the version of Chef that you just installed.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Chef on OpenBSD. You can now use Chef to automate the management of your infrastructure.
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!
