Installing ChiefOnboarding on NetBSD

Overview

This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing ChiefOnboarding, a web-based employee onboarding solution, on NetBSD.

Prerequisites

Before starting the installation process, you will need to have the following:

• A server running NetBSD
• Internet connectivity

Installation

Step 1: Install required packages

The first step is to install the required packages for ChiefOnboarding to run smoothly. Open the terminal and run the following command:

pkgin update
pkgin install nodejs npm nginx git

Step 2: Clone the repository

Once the required packages are installed, the next step is to clone the ChiefOnboarding repository. Navigate to the directory where you want to install ChiefOnboarding and run the following command:

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

Step 3: Install Dependencies

After cloning the repository, navigate to the cloned repository and install the npm dependencies. You can use the following command in the terminal:

cd chiefonboarding
npm install

Step 4: Configure Nginx

Once the dependencies have been installed, you need to configure Nginx to act as a reverse proxy for ChiefOnboarding. Navigate to the Nginx configuration directory and create a new file with the following command:

cd /usr/pkg/etc/nginx
vi chiefonboarding.conf

Add the following configuration to the file and save it:

server {
    listen       80;
    server_name  your_domain.com;

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://localhost:8081;
        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
    }
}

Replace your_domain.com with the domain name or IP address of your server.

Step 5: Run ChiefOnboarding

Finally, start the ChiefOnboarding server with the following command:

npm run start

ChiefOnboarding should now be accessible on your server's IP address or domain name.

Conclusion

You have successfully installed ChiefOnboarding on NetBSD. You can now customize and configure it to suit your needs.
