How to Install Strider on EndeavourOS Latest

In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps to install Strider on EndeavourOS latest release. Strider is an open-source Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) platform designed for web applications. It enables you to automate your build, test, and deployment processes. Strider supports various web frameworks like Node.js, Ruby on Rails, and Django.

Prerequisites

Before installing Strider, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:

• A Linux-based operating system. In this tutorial, we are using EndeavourOS Latest.
• Node.js runtime environment 8.x or higher.
• Git version control system.

Step 1: Install Node.js

The first step is to install the Node.js runtime environment. Run the following command in your terminal to install Node.js:

sudo pacman -S nodejs

Once the installation is complete, verify the Node.js version by running the following command:

node -v

Step 2: Install Git

Run the following command in your terminal to install the Git version control system:

sudo pacman -S git

Step 3: Install MongoDB

Strider requires MongoDB as its backend database. Run the following command in your terminal to install MongoDB:

sudo pacman -S mongodb

Once the installation is done, start and enable the MongoDB service by running the following command:

sudo systemctl start mongodb
sudo systemctl enable mongodb

Step 4: Install Strider

Now let's clone the Strider repository from Github. Run the following command in your terminal to clone the Strider repository:

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

After the cloning process is complete, navigate to the Strider directory:

cd strider

Next, install the necessary packages by running the following command:

npm install

Step 5: Configure Strider

Create a Strider configuration file by copying the sample configuration file:

cp config/config.sample.js config/config.js

Next, open the config.js file with your favorite text editor:

nano config/config.js

Update the MongoDB configuration section to include the database URL, username, and password:

module.exports = {
    // ...
    db_uri: 'mongodb://strider:striderpassword@localhost/strider',
    // ...
}

Replace strider with your desired database name, striderpassword with your desired password and localhost with your MongoDB's hostname or IP address. Also, you can add an authentication database by appending ?authSource=admin at the end of the URL.

Step 6: Start Strider

Finally, start Strider by running the following command:

npm run serve

You should see some logs on your terminal indicating that Strider is being started. After a few seconds, you can access the Strider web interface at http://localhost:3000.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Strider on your EndeavourOS system. You can now use Strider to automate your build, test, and deployment processes.
