OSEM is a free and open-source event management system that is used for organizing events like conferences, meetups, and hackathons. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install OSEM on Void Linux.
Before you start the installation process, make sure you have the following prerequisites.
The first step in installing OSEM on Void Linux is to update the system. To do this, run the following command in your terminal.
sudo xbps-install -Su
This will update the package list and fetch the latest updates for your system.
OSEM requires some dependencies to be installed before it can be installed. To install these dependencies, run the following command.
sudo xbps-install ruby ruby-devel sqlite3-devel
This will install Ruby, Ruby development headers, and SQLite3 development headers.
After installing the required dependencies, navigate to the directory where you want to install the OSEM and download the source code.
wget https://github.com/openSUSE/osem/archive/refs/heads/master.zip
Extract the downloaded archive using the following command.
unzip master.zip
Now navigate to the extracted directory and install the OSEM using the following command.
cd osem-master
sudo make install
This will install OSEM on your system.
After installing OSEM, you need to configure it so that it can be used. To configure OSEM, create a new configuration file and copy the sample configuration file to it.
sudo cp config/settings.yml.example config/settings.yml
Now open the settings.yml file with a text editor and modify the configuration settings as per your requirements.
sudo nano config/settings.yml
Update the following lines:
database:
adapter: sqlite3
host: localhost
database: db/production.sqlite3
username: username
password: password
Save the file and exit.
Finally, start the OSEM service using the following command.
sudo osem start
You can now access the OSEM web interface at http://localhost:3000/ from your web browser.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed OSEM on Void Linux.
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!
