CloudBeaver is a universal open-source database management tool that works with different databases such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, Aurora, MariaDB, and many others. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install CloudBeaver on OpenBSD.
Before we proceed with the installation, you need to make sure that your server meets the following requirements:
First, we need to download the latest release of CloudBeaver from their official website. You can do this by running the following command in your terminal:
$ sudo wget https://cloudbeaver.io/downloads/cloudbeaver-ce-latest.tar.gz
Next, we need to extract the downloaded CloudBeaver tarball by running the following command:
$ sudo tar xvf cloudbeaver-ce-latest.tar.gz
This will extract the CloudBeaver files to the current directory.
We will create a new system user specifically for running CloudBeaver. You can do this by running the following command:
$ sudo useradd -m -r -d /opt/cloudbeaver -s /usr/bin/nologin cloudbeaver
This command creates a new user called cloudbeaver with a home directory at /opt/cloudbeaver and a shell pointing to /usr/bin/nologin.
We need to set the correct permissions for the CloudBeaver directory. You can do this by running the following commands:
$ sudo chown -R cloudbeaver:cloudbeaver /path/to/cloudbeaver
$ sudo chmod +x /path/to/cloudbeaver/cloudbeaver.sh
Replace /path/to/cloudbeaver with the actual location of your CloudBeaver installation directory.
Finally, we can start the CloudBeaver server by running the following command:
$ sudo -u cloudbeaver /path/to/cloudbeaver/cloudbeaver.sh &
This command starts the CloudBeaver server as the cloudbeaver user and runs it in the background.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install CloudBeaver on OpenBSD. After following these steps, you should be able to access your CloudBeaver instance by navigating to http://localhost:80 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!
