How to Install SCM Manager on OpenBSD

This tutorial will guide you through the steps required to install SCM Manager on OpenBSD.

Requirements

Before we begin, make sure that you have the following:

  • A system running OpenBSD
  • Root access to the system

Step 1: Install Java

SCM Manager is built using Java, so we need to install Java before we can proceed with the installation. To install Java, run the following command:

pkg_add openjdk

This command will install the OpenJDK package.

Step 2: Download SCM Manager

Next, we need to download SCM Manager from the official website. To download the latest version, run the following command:

ftp https://dl.bintray.com/scm-manager/releases/scm-server/2.14.1/scm-server-app-2.14.1.tar.gz

This command will download the SCM Manager package to your system.

Step 3: Extract the Package

Once the download is complete, use the following command to extract the package:

tar -zxvf scm-server-app-2.14.1.tar.gz

This command will extract the SCM Manager package.

Step 4: Configure SCM Manager

Now that the package is extracted, we need to configure SCM Manager. Navigate to the extracted directory:

cd scm-server-app-2.14.1

Next, edit the config file:

vi bin/scm-server.conf

In this file, make sure that the JAVA_HOME variable is set to the correct path where Java is installed:

JAVA_HOME="/usr/local/openjdk8"

Step 5: Start SCM Manager

To start SCM Manager, run the following command:

bin/scm-server start

This will start SCM Manager in the background. To check if SCM Manager is running, run the following command:

bin/scm-server status

Step 6: Access SCM Manager

SCM Manager is now up and running. You can access it by opening a web browser and navigating to:

http://localhost:8080/scm/

You should now see the SCM Manager login screen. Use the default username and password to log in:

  • Username: scmadmin
  • Password: scmadmin

Congratulations! You have successfully installed SCM Manager on your OpenBSD system.
