PineDocs is a simple, lightweight and easy-to-use documentation web-application that is written in Python using the Flask framework. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install PineDocs on OpenBSD.
Before starting with the installation process, you need to have the following prerequisites:
To start with the installation of PineDocs, you must first clone the repository. You can do so by running the following command:
git clone https://github.com/xy2z/PineDocs.git
Since PineDocs is written in Python, you will need to have Python 3.x already installed on your system. You can verify your Python version by running the following command:
python3 --version
If Python3 is not installed, you can use the following command to install it:
pkg_add python-3.X
where X is the corresponding version number.
Pip3 is required to install Python packages, including the Flask framework, which PineDocs depends on. To install pip3, run the following command:
pkg_add py3-pip
PineDocs is built on Flask framework. You can install Flask using pip3:
pip3 install Flask
To install PineDocs, you need to install its dependencies. Navigate to PineDocs folder:
cd PineDocs
And install dependencies using pip3:
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
Once you have installed the dependencies, you can run the PineDocs application by running the following command:
python3 app.py
You can now access the PineDocs application by visiting the localhost address in your web browser:
http://127.0.0.1:5000/
You have successfully installed PineDocs on your OpenBSD system. You can now start using and customizing the application for your documentation needs.
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!
