Dokku is an open-source Platform as a Service (PaaS) that allows you to deploy your applications to your own servers using Docker containers. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Dokku on OpenBSD.
Before you begin with this tutorial, make sure you have:
Before installing Dokku, it's recommended to update the server first. Run the following command to update OpenBSD:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y
Dokku requires several packages to run. Run the following command to install these packages on OpenBSD:
sudo pkg_add bash git-core make openssl zlib1g-dev
Now we can start installing Dokku itself. Run the following commands to download and install Dokku:
wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dokku/dokku/v0.21.4/bootstrap.sh | sudo DOKKU_TAG=v0.21.4 bash
This will download and install the latest version of Dokku. It may take a few minutes to complete.
After installing Dokku, you can configure it by accessing the Dokku web interface through a browser. Open a browser and navigate to http://your_server_ip.
If everything is installed correctly, you should see the Dokku configuration page. Follow the instructions on the page to set up your new Dokku instance.
Dokku is now installed and ready to use on your OpenBSD server. You can now start deploying your applications to your server using Dokku. If you encounter any issues during the installation process or need further guidance, consult the official Dokku documentation.
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!
