How to Install Databunker on OpenBSD
Databunker is a secure vault for personal records created to comply with GDPR and CCPA. In this tutorial, we will see how to install Databunker on OpenBSD.
Prerequisites
Before we begin, there are some prerequisites that we need to meet:
- OpenBSD machine with root access
- Basic command-line knowledge
Installation
First, we need to update our system's packages by running
pkg_add -ucommand.Then, we need to install the required dependencies which are
sqlite3,gcc, andlibsslby running the following command:pkg_add sqlite3 gcc libsslNext, we need to download the Databunker binary file from the official website. You can use the following command to download the file:
ftp https://github.com/securitybunker/databunker/releases/download/0.2.69/databunker-0.2.69-openbsd-amd64.tar.gzReplace the version number with the latest release.
After downloading the binary, we need to extract it using the following command:
tar xvfz databunker-0.2.69-openbsd-amd64.tar.gzMove the extracted binary file to the
/usr/local/bindirectory. You can use the following command:mv databunker /usr/local/bin/We need to create a systemd service file for Databunker. Use the following command to create a file:
vi /etc/systemd/system/databunker.servicePaste the following content to the file:
[Unit] Description=Databunker service [Service] User=root Group=wheel Type=simple ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/databunker serve --config /etc/databunker/config.json --dsn "sqlite3:/var/db/databunker.db?_journal=wal&_sync=normal" [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.targetThis file contains the configuration options required to run the Databunker service. It runs the Databunker binary file using the
ExecStartoption, which tells OpenBSD to use this configuration to run the Databunker as a service.Now let's create a configuration file in the
/etc/databunker/directory. Use the following command to create the file:mkdir /etc/databunker vi /etc/databunker/config.jsonAdd the following content to the
config.jsonfile. Make sure to replaceCHANGE_ME_WITH_SECRET_KEYwith your own secret key.{ "jwt_secret": "CHANGE_ME_WITH_SECRET_KEY", "db_set": [ { "name": "sqlite", "url": "sqlite3:/var/db/databunker.db?_journal=wal&_sync=normal" } ], "skip_authz_check": false, "data_path": "data", "cdn": { "path": "uploads", "bucket": "" } }Finally, we can start the Databunker service using the following command:
systemctl start databunkerIt's time to check the service status with:
systemctl status databunkerThe output should show the running status of the service.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Databunker on OpenBSD.
