ioBroker is an open-source home automation platform used to control and automate various smart devices in homes. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install ioBroker on OpenBSD.
To install ioBroker on OpenBSD, you should have:
To run ioBroker on OpenBSD, we will first need to install Node.js. Node.js provides the runtime environment for running JavaScript applications. Run the following command as root to install Node.js:
pkg_add node
After installing Node.js, download the ioBroker installation script using the command below:
fetch -o iobroker-inst.sh https://iobroker.net/install.sh
Then, give the script executable permissions:
chmod +x iobroker-inst.sh
Now, run the installation script as root:
sudo ./iobroker-inst.sh
This will run the ioBroker installation process, which may take some time. During the installation, you will be asked to provide some details, such as the admin password and database settings.
Once the installation is complete, you can start ioBroker using the following command:
iobroker start
You can then check the status of ioBroker using the command:
iobroker status
This will output the status of the ioBroker service, including whether it is running or not.
Finally, open up your web browser and go to http://localhost:8081 to access the ioBroker web interface. You will be prompted to log in with the admin account and password that you set during the installation process.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed ioBroker on OpenBSD, and you can now begin to add and control devices in your smart home.
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!
