MyPaas is an open source platform as a service (PaaS) that allows you to deploy your applications with ease. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps required to install MyPaas on macOS.
Before you begin, you need to ensure that you have the following installed on your macOS:
Open the Terminal app on your macOS.
Clone the MyPaas repository from GitHub to your local machine by typing the following command in the Terminal:
git clone https://github.com/almarklein/mypaas.git
Navigate to the cloned MyPaas directory using the cd command:
cd mypaas
Install the dependencies required for running MyPaas using NPM:
npm install
Copy the example configuration file to a new configuration file:
cp env.example .env
Open the .env file using a text editor of your choice e.g. nano, vi or vim:
nano .env
Edit the values in the .env file based on your requirements. Note that you need to set up some prerequisite services such as MySQL, Redis, and RabbitMQ before running MyPaas. You can also update the port number your application will run on.
NODE_ENV=development
NODE_APP_INSTANCE=app
SESSION_SECRET=YOURSESSIONSECRETHERE
HTTP_PORT=3000
HTTPS_PORT=8443
DATABASE_URL=mysql://user:password@localhost:3306/mypaas?reconnect=true
BROKER_URL=amqp://user:password@localhost:5672/mypaas
STORAGE_SERVER_URL=http://localhost:6000
REDIS_HOST=localhost
REDIS_PORT=6379
REDIS_DB=0
Save the .env file and exit the text editor.
Start MyPaas using the command below:
npm start
Your console will now display log messages showing that MyPaas is running. You can copy and paste the URL in your web browser to view the MyPaas dashboard.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed MyPaas on macOS! You can now deploy your applications and manage them 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!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
