How to Install Chartbrew on NetBSD

Chartbrew is an open-source tool that makes it easy to create, manage and share interactive dashboards. In this tutorial, we will go through the steps to install Chartbrew on NetBSD.

Prerequisites

Before we get started, make sure that your NetBSD server meets the following requirements:

• NetBSD version 8.1 or higher
• Node.js version 10.18 or higher
• MongoDB version 4.0 or higher

Step 1: Install Node.js

Chartbrew requires Node.js to be installed on your server. If you don't have it installed already, you can install it using the following command:

pkgin in nodejs

Step 2: Install MongoDB

Chartbrew uses MongoDB as its database backend. You can install it using the following command:

pkgin in mongodb

Step 3: Install Chartbrew

Now that we have installed the prerequisites, we can proceed with installing Chartbrew. First, clone the Chartbrew repository using the following command:

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

Next, navigate to the cloned repository and install the required dependencies:

cd chartbrew
npm install

Step 4: Configure Chartbrew

Chartbrew requires a configuration file to work correctly. You can copy the example configuration file and edit it to match your setup:

cp .env.example .env
nano .env

Update the values in the .env file with the correct information for your MongoDB installation.

Step 5: Start Chartbrew

Now that we have installed and configured Chartbrew, we can start the application. You can start the application using the following command:

npm start

Once the application has started, you can access it by navigating to http://localhost:3000 in your web browser.
