pyDash is a web-based dashboard for Python projects. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps to install pyDash on OpenBSD. Here are the steps:
Before installing any new software, it is always wise to update your system to ensure that you have the latest security patches and software updates. To update your OpenBSD system, run the following command in your terminal:
sudo pkg_add -u
To install pyDash, we need to have pip (Python package installer) installed on our system. To install pip on OpenBSD, run the following command:
sudo pkg_add py-pip
Once you have installed pip, installing pyDash is quite easy. To install pyDash, run the following command:
sudo pip install pydash
After installing pyDash, you need to configure it to suit your needs. First, you need to create a configuration file called settings.py. You can do this by running the following command:
sudo cp ~/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pydash/settings.py.example ~/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pydash/settings.py
This command will create a configuration file called settings.py in the pyDash package directory.
Next, you need to edit the settings.py file and configure your settings. You can do this by running the following command:
sudo nano ~/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pydash/settings.py
The settings.py file contains various settings that you can configure. You can change the default username and password, set the IP address and port number, and much more.
Once you have configured pyDash, you're ready to use it. To start pyDash, run the following command in your terminal:
python3.8 -m pydash
This command will start pyDash and you can access it by opening your web browser and navigating to http://localhost:5000/.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured pyDash 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!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
