Chartbrew is a web application that allows you to create and manage charts for your data. In this tutorial, we will explain how to install Chartbrew on Alpine Linux Latest.

Prerequisites

Before installing Chartbrew, you must have the following prerequisites on your system:

  • Alpine Linux Latest
  • Node.js (version 12 or higher)
  • Git

Step 1: Install Node.js and Git

If you don't have Node.js and Git installed, you can install them using the following command:

apk update && apk upgrade
apk add nodejs npm git

This command will update the package index, upgrade the existing packages, and install Node.js, NPM, and Git if they are not installed.

Step 2: Clone the Chartbrew repository

After installing Node.js and Git, you need to clone the Chartbrew repository to your system. You can do this by running the following command:

git clone https://github.com/chartbrew/chartbrew.git

Before running Chartbrew, you need to install its dependencies. To install dependencies, navigate to the Chartbrew directory and run the following command:

cd chartbrew
npm install

Step 4: Configure the database

Chartbrew uses MongoDB as its database. To connect to the database, you need to create a configuration file.

Copy the config.example.js file to config.js:

cp config.example.js config.js

Then, replace the database configuration with your own:

// your mongodb uri
process.env.MONGO_URI = 'mongodb://localhost:27017/chartbrew';

Step 5: Start the Chartbrew server

You are now ready to start the Chartbrew server. To start the server, run the following command:
