How to Install Tolgee on OpenBSD

In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Tolgee on OpenBSD. Tolgee is a translation management platform that helps you manage different languages across different platforms.

Prerequisites

Before we start, please make sure you have the following:

• An OpenBSD machine with root access
• Internet connectivity on the machine
• Basic knowledge of the command line interface

Step 1: Install Dependencies

First, we need to make sure that our system is up to date and install the dependencies required for Tolgee:

# pkg_add ruby nodejs npm

This command will install the latest versions of Ruby, Node.js, and NPM on OpenBSD.

Step 2: Download the Tolgee Installation Package

Next, we need to download the latest version of Tolgee from the official website. You can find the download link here:

https://tolgee.io/docs/installation

# cd /tmp && ftp https://cdn.tolgee.io/latest/OpenBSD/64/tolgee.zip

This command will download the Tolgee installation package and save it in the /tmp directory.

Step 3: Extract the Package

Once the download is complete, we need to extract the package files. Run the following command to extract the package:

# unzip /tmp/tolgee.zip -d /usr/local/tolgee/

This command will extract the Tolgee installation files to the /usr/local/tolgee directory.

Step 4: Configure Tolgee

Now, we need to configure Tolgee. First, we need to create a configuration file for Tolgee:

# cp /usr/local/tolgee/config.sample.yaml /usr/local/tolgee/config.yaml

Next, we need to edit the configuration file and make the necessary changes. Run the following command to edit the file:

# vi /usr/local/tolgee/config.yaml

Here, you can configure the database, server, and other settings according to your requirements.

Step 5: Start the Tolgee Server

Finally, we can start the Tolgee server by running the following command:

# cd /usr/local/tolgee && bundle exec rails server -b 0.0.0.0 -p 3000 -e production

This command will start the Tolgee server on port 3000.

Conclusion

Congratulations! We have successfully installed Tolgee on OpenBSD. You can now access the Tolgee web interface by visiting http://<your server IP>:3000 in your web browser.

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!
