Installing Strider on Void Linux

Strider is a powerful continuous integration and deployment platform that allows developers to test, build, and deploy their code with ease. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Strider on Void Linux.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure you have the following:

Step 1: Install Node.js and Git

To install Strider, we need to have Node.js and Git installed on our system. Run the following command to install Node.js and Git:

sudo xbps-install -Sy nodejs git

Step 2: Clone Strider from GitHub

Next, we will clone the Strider repository from GitHub. Run the following command to clone the repository:

git clone git://github.com/Strider-CD/strider.git

This will create a new directory called strider in the current working directory.

Step 3: Install Strider

Change to the strider directory and use npm to install Strider:

cd strider
sudo npm install -g

This should install Strider and all its dependencies.

Step 4: Configure Strider

To configure Strider, we need to create a new configuration file. Run the following command to create a new configuration file:

sudo cp config/config-sample.js config/config.js

Next, open the config file in your favorite text editor:

sudo nano config/config.js

Here, you can configure Strider to suit your needs. Make sure you set the correct values for your database connection and SMTP server.

Step 5: Start Strider

To start Strider, we need to run the strider command:

strider

This will start Strider and it will be accessible at http://localhost:3000 in your web browser.

Conclusion

Congratulations, you have successfully installed Strider on Void Linux! Now you can use Strider to test, build, and deploy your code with ease.

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!
