How to Install Orchest on FreeBSD Latest

In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps required to install Orchest on the latest FreeBSD operating system. Orchest is an open-source platform used for managing and deploying applications in a container environment. Orchest offers a simple and intuitive interface that allows users to easily manage their applications.

Prerequisites

  • A FreeBSD Latest machine
  • Basic command line knowledge

Step 1: Update the FreeBSD System

Before we start, ensure that your system is up to date by running:

sudo pkg update && sudo pkg upgrade

Step 2: Install the Required Dependencies

To install Orchest on FreeBSD, we need to install the following packages:

  • Docker
  • Docker Compose

To install these packages, run the following command:

sudo pkg install docker docker-compose

Step 3: Configure Docker

By default, Docker is not configured to start automatically on boot. To ensure Docker starts automatically, no matter the machine status, run:

sudo sysrc docker_enable=YES

We also need to add our user to the Docker group in order to avoid running Docker commands with elevated permissions.

sudo pw groupmod docker -m [username]

You can replace [username] with your actual username.

Step 4: Install Orchest

To install Orchest on FreeBSD, we need to download the source code from the official GitHub repository. To do this, run:

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

Once the repository is downloaded, navigate to the orchest directory:

cd orchest

And run the installation script:

./install.sh

This will start the installation process and install all the required dependencies for Orchest.

To verify that Orchest is installed correctly, run orchest --version.

Step 5: Start Orchest

To start Orchest, navigate to the orchest directory and run:

./start.sh

This will start the Orchest server and allow you to access the Orchest web interface. You can access the interface by navigating to http://[your_ip_address]:8000 in your web browser.

Conclusion

That’s it! You now have Orchest installed and configured on your FreeBSD Latest machine. You can now use Orchest to deploy and manage your applications in a container environment. To learn more about Orchest, visit the official documentation at https://docs.orchest.io/.
