Kinto is a free and open-source database backend application that is written in Python. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Kinto on OpenBSD, a free and secure operating system.
To install Kinto on OpenBSD, there are some requirements needed:
To install Kinto, first, let's update the packages and install the dependencies by running:
$ doas pkg_add git gcc python3
After that, you can install Kinto using pip by running the following command:
$ doas pip3 install kinto
Before running Kinto, you need to create a configuration file named kinto.ini. You can use the following command to create this file:
$ mkdir /etc/kinto/
$ cd /etc/kinto/
$ touch kinto.ini
Then, you can edit kinto.ini and customize the configuration based on your needs. Here is an example of the configuration:
[app:main]
use = egg:kinto
kinto.storage_backend = kinto.core.storage.memory
kinto.includes = kinto.plugins.default_bucket
kinto.default_bucket_name = my-bucket
This configuration defines that the storage backend is using memory and Kinto will include the default bucket plugin.
After you have finished the configuration, you can start Kinto by running:
$ kinto start --ini /etc/kinto/kinto.ini
Now, Kinto should be running on your OpenBSD machine, and you can use it through the HTTP API interface.
Kinto is an open-source database backend application that allows you to store, manage, and access data efficiently. Now you have successfully installed Kinto on your OpenBSD machine. You can use it for your next projects and enjoy the power of secure and reliable data storage.
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!
