Installing OneDev on OpenBSD

OneDev is an all-in-one Git server and code collaboration platform that supports Agile development workflow. Installing OneDev on OpenBSD is a straightforward process that requires setting up dependencies, downloading and configuring OneDev. In this tutorial, you will learn how to install OneDev on OpenBSD.

Prerequisites

Before installing OneDev, ensure that the following prerequisites are met:

Step 1: Install Dependencies

OneDev requires Git, Java, and Docker to be installed on your OpenBSD system. OpenBSD comes with Git preinstalled, but you need to install Java and Docker first.

To install Java and Docker, open a terminal and execute the following commands:

$ su -
# pkg_add openjdk docker

After installing Docker, start it and configure it to start automatically on boot:

# rcctl enable docker
# rcctl start docker

Step 2: Download and Extract OneDev

Download the latest version of OneDev from the official website https://onedev.io/download.

Once the download is complete, navigate to the directory where you have downloaded OneDev and extract it using the following command:

$ tar -zxvf onedev-<version>.tar.gz

Replace "version" with the OneDev version you have downloaded.

Step 3: Configure OneDev

OneDev requires configuration files to operate correctly. Navigate to the extracted OneDev directory, and execute the following command to generate a default configuration file:

$ cd onedev-<version>/conf/
$ cp onedev-default.conf onedev.conf

Open the configuration file onedev.conf using a text editor, and customize it as per your requirement.

Note: You can refer to https://onedev.io/docs/config for detailed instructions on how to customize the configuration file.

Step 4: Start OneDev Server

After configuring OneDev, start the server using the following command:

$ cd ..
$ ./onedev start

The above command starts OneDev server and displays logs in the console. You can access OneDev using a web browser at http://localhost:6610.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed and started OneDev on OpenBSD. Now you can use OneDev to manage your Git repositories and collaborate with your team.

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!
