How to Install Cloudify on OpenBSD

Cloudify is an open-source cloud management platform that enables organizations to manage and orchestrate applications and services across multiple clouds. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Cloudify on OpenBSD.

Prerequisites

• An OpenBSD operating system installed on your machine
• A user account with root privileges

Step 1: Install Python

Cloudify requires Python to run. OpenBSD has a pre-installed version of Python, but we will install the latest version for compatibility reasons.

1. Open the terminal and type the following command to update the package database:

$ sudo pkg_add -Uuv

2. Install Python 3 by typing the following command:

$ sudo pkg_add python

3. Verify the installation by typing the following command:

$ python3 --version

Step 2: Install Cloudify

1. Download the latest version of Cloudify from the official website.

$ curl -L get.cloudify.co | bash

2. Extract the downloaded archive using the following command:

$ tar xvzf cloudify-version.tar.gz

3. Change the directory to the extracted folder using the following command:

$ cd cloudify-version

4. Install Cloudify using pip, the package installer for Python, as follows:

$ sudo pip install cloudify

5. Verify the installation by typing the following command:

$ cfy

If Cloudify runs without errors, it means the installation was successful.

Step 3: Configure Cloudify

1. Create a Cloudify configuration file using the following command:

$ cfy init

2. Follow the instructions to configure Cloudify.

3. Verify the installation by typing the following command:

$ cfy status

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Cloudify on OpenBSD. You can now use Cloudify to manage and orchestrate your applications and services across multiple clouds.

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!
