Terraform is a popular tool for managing infrastructure as code. This guide will walk you through the process of installing Terraform on an OpenBSD machine.
Before we begin the installation process, make sure your OpenBSD machine is up-to-date and has sudo privileges.
Open a terminal on your OpenBSD machine.
Install unzip if it's not already installed by running the following command:
sudo pkg_add unzip
Download the latest version of Terraform for OpenBSD by visiting the Terraform downloads page and copying the link for the OpenBSD version. At the time of writing, the latest version for OpenBSD is terraform_1.0.6_openbsd_amd64.zip.
In your terminal, navigate to the directory where you want to store Terraform on your machine.
cd /path/to/directory
Use curl to download the Terraform zip file:
sudo curl -o terraform.zip https://releases.hashicorp.com/terraform/1.0.6/terraform_1.0.6_openbsd_amd64.zip
Unzip the file:
sudo unzip terraform.zip
Move the unzipped Terraform binary to the /usr/local/bin directory:
sudo mv terraform /usr/local/bin
Verify the installation by running the following command:
terraform --version
This should display the version of Terraform installed on your machine.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Terraform on your OpenBSD machine. You can now start managing your infrastructure as code with Terraform.
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!
