This tutorial will walk you through the steps of installing the Open Source Event Manager (OSEM) on OpenSUSE Latest. OSEM is an open source event management platform that allows you to create and manage events, and is available for free on osem.io/">https://osem.io/.
Before installing OSEM, make sure your system has all the necessary dependencies.
sudo zypper install -y git-core curl make automake gcc gcc-c++ kernel-devel libxml2-devel libxslt-devel libopenssl-devel libssh2-devel libyaml-devel sqlite3-devel postgresql-devel
OSEM is a Ruby on Rails application, so we need to install Ruby and Bundler.
sudo zypper install -y ruby ruby-devel rubygem-bundler
Clone the OSEM repository to your local machine.
git clone https://github.com/openSUSE/osem.git
Navigate to the OSEM folder and install its dependencies using bundler.
cd osem
bundle install --without development:test
Configure the PostgreSQL database for OSEM.
cp config/database.yml.example config/database.yml
nano config/database.yml
In the database.yml file, update the username and password to match your PostgreSQL credentials.
Create the database for OSEM.
bundle exec rake db:create
bundle exec rake db:migrate
Start the OSEM server.
bundle exec rails server
OSEM will start on port 3000 by default. You can test it by opening http://localhost:3000 in your web browser.
You have successfully installed OSEM on OpenSUSE Latest. Now you can start using the open source event management platform to create and manage events.
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!
