How to Install Sorry Cypress on OpenBSD

Sorry Cypress is an open-source tool that runs, records, and aggregates Cypress tests results on a centralized dashboard. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Sorry Cypress on OpenBSD.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure you have the following:

• A machine running OpenBSD with root access
• Node.js runtime installed on your machine

Step 1: Install Sorry Cypress

1. Open your terminal and log in as the root user.
2. Install the dashboard, api, and runner packages using the following command:

npm install sorry-cypress@latest --prefix /usr/local

3. Once the installation has completed, verify that the installation is successful by running the following command:

/usr/local/bin/cypress-docker-run --healthcheck

This will output the health status of the Cypress runner.

Step 2: Configure Sorry Cypress

To run Sorry Cypress, you need to configure the THE_SORRY_CYPRESS_API_URL environment variable. This variable specifies the URL of the Sorry Cypress API endpoint.

1. Open your terminal and log in as your regular user.
2. Edit the /etc/profile file using your preferred text editor:

sudo vi /etc/profile

3. Add the following line at the end of the file:

export THE_SORRY_CYPRESS_API_URL=http://localhost:1234 

Make sure to replace http://localhost:1234 with the actual URL of your Sorry Cypress API endpoint.

4. Save the file and exit your text editor.

Step 3: Start Sorry Cypress

1. Log out from your system and log in again for the changes to take effect.
2. Open your terminal and log in as your regular user.
3. Start the Sorry Cypress dashboard using the following command:

sudo /usr/local/bin/cypress-docker-run start

4. Once the dashboard is started, open your browser and visit http://localhost:1234 (or the URL of your Sorry Cypress API endpoint) to access the Sorry Cypress dashboard.

The installation of Sorry Cypress on OpenBSD is now complete. You can now use the tool to execute Cypress test and monitor them on the centralized dashboard.

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!
