MyPaas is an open source platform as a service, which allows you to easily deploy and manage your web applications. In this tutorial, we will walk through the process of installing MyPaas on OpenBSD.
Before we begin, ensure that you have the following:
First, we need to install the required dependencies. Login to your server as root and run the following command:
pkg_add node
This will install the latest version of Node.js on your server.
Next, we need to clone the MyPaas repository from GitHub. Run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/almarklein/mypaas.git
This will download the latest version of MyPaas to your server.
Navigate to the MyPaas directory and install its dependencies using npm.
cd mypaas
npm install
This will install all the required dependencies for MyPaas to function.
To configure MyPaas, we need to create a config.js file in the root directory of MyPaas.
cp config.sample.js config.js
This will create a new config.js file based on the sample configuration file.
Open the config.js file and update the values for the following keys:
port: The port on which MyPaas will listen for incoming connections. (Default is 8080)database: The URL of your MongoDB instance.sessionSecret: A secret key used by MyPaas to sign session cookies.Save the file after making the changes.
To start MyPaas, run the following command:
node index.js
MyPaas will now start listening on the port specified in the config.js file.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed MyPaas on OpenBSD. You can now use it to deploy and manage your web applications.
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!
