Installing Tryton on OpenBSD

Tryton is an open source business application platform that can be used for accounting, inventory management, project management, and other related tasks. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps required to install Tryton on OpenBSD.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, you will need:

• A server running OpenBSD with root access
• A user account with sudo privileges

Step 1: Install Dependencies

Tryton requires Python, PostgreSQL, and some additional packages before you can install it. To install these dependencies, run the following command:

$ sudo pkg_add python3 postgresql-client py3-psycopg2 py3-pyopenssl py3-cairo py3-lxml py3-setuptools

Step 2: Install Tryton

Now that you have installed the dependencies, you can proceed to install Tryton using pip3. To install Tryton, run the following command:

$ sudo pip3 install trytond

Step 3: Configure PostgreSQL

By default, PostgreSQL does not allow remote connections. If you want to access the PostgreSQL database on your OpenBSD server from another computer, you need to configure it to allow remote connections.

To do this, you need to edit the pg_hba.conf configuration file by running the following command:

$ sudo vi /var/postgresql/data/pg_hba.conf

Add the following line to the bottom of the file:

host    all             all             0.0.0.0/0               md5

This line allows any IP address to connect to your PostgreSQL server using a password. Save the changes and exit the file.

Next, you need to modify the postgresql.conf file to allow remote connections. To do this, run the following command:

$ sudo vi /var/postgresql/data/postgresql.conf

Find the line # listen_addresses = 'localhost' and uncomment it by removing the # symbol. Change the value to * so that it reads listen_addresses = '*'. Save the changes and exit the file.

Finally, restart the PostgreSQL service by running the following command:

$ sudo /etc/rc.d/postgresql restart

Step 4: Create a Tryton Database

To create a new Tryton database, run the following command:

$ sudo trytond-admin -c /etc/tryton.conf -d tryton --all

This command will create a new database named tryton and install all the required modules.

Step 5: Start the Tryton Server

To start the Tryton server, run the following command:

$ sudo trytond -c /etc/tryton.conf

Now you should be able to access the Tryton web interface by opening a web browser and navigating to http://your-server-ip:8000.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured Tryton on OpenBSD.

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!
