Raneto is an open-source, Markdown-powered knowledge base platform. It allows users to create, manage and publish documentation with ease. In this tutorial, we will cover the process of installing Raneto on OpenBSD.
The first step is to update your system and install the required packages. OpenBSD uses pkg_add to install packages:
$ doas pkg_add -uU
This updates the package database and installs any available updates.
Next, we need to install the following packages:
$ doas pkg_add node git
Raneto's source code is hosted on Github. We can clone the repository using git.
$ git clone https://github.com/gilbitron/Raneto.git
Navigate to the Raneto directory (use the cd command if needed) and install Raneto's dependencies:
$ cd Raneto
$ npm install
Raneto requires certain configurations before it can be used. These configurations are stored in a file named default.json
. We will create a copy of the default configuration:
$ cp config/default.json config/production.json
Open the production.json file in your preferred text editor and modify the following fields:
{
"site_url": "http://localhost:3000",
"port": "3000"
}
site_url
should be set as the URL at which Raneto will be hosted. In this case, it is set to http://localhost:3000
. port
is the port number at which Raneto will listen.
Finally, we can start Raneto using the following command:
$ npm start --production
In a few moments, Raneto will start and you will see the following message in the terminal:
Raneto server listening at http://localhost:3000
You can now access Raneto in a web browser by navigating to the URL specified in site_url
and port specified in port
. In this case, it is http://localhost:3000
.
In this tutorial, we have installed Raneto on OpenBSD. Raneto is a versatile and powerful platform that can help users manage documentation and knowledge base with ease.
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!
