Traggo is a free and open source platform designed for managing containers and applications. It allows you to deploy and manage your application on various infrastructures like Kubernetes, Docker, and others. Installing Traggo on OpenBSD is straightforward, and this tutorial will guide you through the process.
These are the prerequisites required before you start the installation:
To use Traggo on OpenBSD, you need several dependencies installed on your system. In the OpenBSD terminal, run the following command to install all necessary dependencies:
$ doas pkg_add git npm node
After executing the command, it would prompt you for confirmation to grant root access, type the root password, and press the 'y' key to proceed with the installation.
Traggo is available as a Git repository on Github. Open a terminal on your OpenBSD system, and run the following command to clone the Traggo repository:
$ git clone https://github.com/traggo/server.git
It will download the Traggo source code to your system.
Switch to the Traggo directory, which you have cloned in the previous step. Once inside the directory, execute the following command that installs prerequisite packages:
$ npm install
Configure Traggo by creating a .env file at the root of the Traggo directory with the following content:
POSTGRES_USER=root
POSTGRES_PASSWORD=root
POSTGRES_DB=traggo
POSTGRES_HOST=db
NODE_ENV=production
PORT=3000
Note: If you prefer to change the default port assigned by Traggo, update the PORT to a different number.
After completing the previous steps, it's time to start the Traggo app by running the following command:
$ npm start
The command will start the Traggo app on port 3000, as specified in the .env file.
After following all the above steps, you should now be able to access Traggo web interface. In the web browser of your choice, input the IP address of your OpenBSD system followed by the port number assigned in the .env file:
http://<ip-address>:<port-number>/
For example, if your OpenBSD IP address is 192.168.0.1, and port is 3000, you will enter the following address in the web browser:
http://192.168.0.1:3000/
Congratulations! You have installed Traggo on your OpenBSD system and are ready to use it.
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!
