How to Install SIP3 on OpenBSD

In this tutorial, we will show you how to install SIP3 on OpenBSD.

Requirements

1. OpenBSD OS
2. Root access to the server
3. SIP3 installation package (can be downloaded from the official website: https://sip3.io/)

Steps to Install SIP3 on OpenBSD

1. First, we need to ensure that the OpenBSD system is up to date. Run the following command to update the system:

sudo pkg_add -u

2. Next, we need to install the required dependencies for SIP3. Run this command:

sudo pkg_add python3 py3-pip git

3. Now, we're ready to download the SIP3 installation package using the git command:

sudo git clone https://github.com/sip3io/sip3-installer.git

4. Once the download is complete, navigate to the SIP3 installer directory:

cd sip3-installer

5. In the directory, run the install.sh script to start the installation process:

sudo ./install.sh

6. The installation script will prompt you to enter the necessary configuration details for SIP3, such as the IP address and port number, and the Elasticsearch server address.

7. After completing the configuration, the SIP3 installation will start, and the installation progress will appear on the console. Wait until the installation is complete without any errors.

8. Once the installation is done, the SIP3 service will start automatically. You can check the status of the service by running the following command:

sudo service sip3 status

9. If the service is running without any issues, you can proceed to access SIP3 by opening your web browser and typing the following IP address and port number (configured in Step 6) into the address bar:

http://your_ip_address:port_number

10. To log in as an administrator, use the default username and password:

Username: admin
Password: sip3.io

Congratulations! You have successfully installed SIP3 on OpenBSD.
