How to Install ITFlow on OpenSUSE

Introduction

ITFlow is an open-source tool that streamlines IT service management and assists in tracking and managing IT infrastructure components. This tutorial describes how to install ITFlow on OpenSUSE, the latest version.

Prerequisites

Before proceeding, ensure that you have the follow software requirements installed on your OpenSUSE operating system:

• Python 3.6 or later
• Python pip package manager
• Git

Step 1: Install Dependencies

The following command installs essential dependencies such as build tools and development headers:

sudo zypper install gcc python3-devel 

Step 2: Install Git

If you don't have the Git package installed, follow the below command to install it:

sudo zypper install git 

Step 3: Clone ITFlow Repository

Clone the ITFlow repository using the below command:

git clone https://github.com/itfloworg/itflow.git 

Step 4: Create Virtual Environment

Create a virtual environment using Python virtualenv. This step is optional but it is recommended to keep ITFlow isolated.

python3 -m venv /path/to/new/venv 

Activate the virtual environment by executing the following command:

source /path/to/new/venv/bin/activate 

Step 5: Install Required Packages

Install all Python dependencies to run ITFlow from the cloned directory using the following command:

pip3 install -r requirements.txt 

Step 6: Initialize Database

Run the following command to initialize the ITFlow database:

python3 manage.py migrate 

Step 7: Run ITFlow

Start ITFlow with the runserver command:

python3 manage.py runserver 

After successful execution of the above command, you can now access ITFlow in your browser using http://localhost:8000/.

Congratulations, you have successfully installed ITFlow on OpenSUSE.

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!
