Introduction

OS.js is an online desktop environment which allows you to use your applications from anywhere, on any device with a web browser. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install and set up OS.js on OpenBSD.

Prerequisites

To complete this tutorial, you will need the following:

Step 1 - Update Packages

Before we begin, we need to update all existing packages on the server. To do this, type the following command:

sudo pkg_add -Uu

Step 2 - Install Required Packages

Now we need to install required packages for OS.js. To do this, type the following command:

sudo pkg_add node-10.15.3 ttf-dejavu firefox

Step 3 - Download and Install OS.js

Next, we will download OS.js and install it on the system. To do this, follow the steps below:

  1. Download the latest version of OS.js using the following command:
curl -L "https://github.com/os-js/OS.js/releases/latest" -o osjs-latest.tar.gz
  1. Extract the downloaded file:
tar -xvf osjs-latest.tar.gz
  1. Change the directory to the extracted folder:

Finally, we can access OS.js by opening a web browser and going to http://<SERVER_IP>:8000. You should see the OS.js login page.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed OS.js on OpenBSD. You can now easily access your applications on any device with a web browser.

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!
