Juju is a devops tool that helps you quickly deploy, configure, and manage large-scale applications in the cloud. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps of installing Juju on OpenBSD.
Before installing Juju, it's a good idea to update OpenBSD to the latest version to ensure all packages and dependencies are up-to-date. To update OpenBSD, run the following commands:
$ sudo -i
# sysupgrade -r
The -r flag here will ensure that your packages are also upgraded. This may take some time, depending on your internet connection speed and the size of the updates.
In order to install Juju on OpenBSD, we need to first install some required packages. Run the following command to install them:
# pkg_add python3 pkg-config libffi
This will install Python3, pkg-config, and libffi on your OpenBSD machine. These packages are required for Juju to work.
Now that we have installed the required packages, we can proceed to install Juju. Run the following command to download and install the latest stable version of Juju:
# cd /tmp && ftp https://launchpad.net/juju/2.x/2.9/2.9.18/+download/juju-2.9.18.tar.gz && tar -xzf juju-2.9.18.tar.gz && cd juju-2.9.18 && sudo ./tools/install.sh
The juju-2.9.18 in the above command should be replaced with the latest version of Juju that is available at the time of installation.
This will download the Juju package from the official website, extract it, and then run the installation script.
Once installation is complete, run the following command to confirm that Juju is installed:
# juju version
This should output the version number of Juju that you just installed. If it does not, check your installation script output and confirm there were no errors during installation.
Finally, we need to configure Juju to work with your cloud provider (e.g., AWS, Google Cloud, etc.). To do this, you need to set up credentials for your cloud provider. See the official Juju documentation for more information on how to set up credentials for your preferred cloud provider.
Once you have set up your cloud provider credentials, you can deploy applications with Juju!
Congratulations, you have successfully installed Juju on OpenBSD!
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!
