How to Install Traggo on OpenBSD

Traggo is a free and open source platform designed for managing containers and applications. It allows you to deploy and manage your application on various infrastructures like Kubernetes, Docker, and others. Installing Traggo on OpenBSD is straightforward, and this tutorial will guide you through the process.

Prerequisites

These are the prerequisites required before you start the installation:

• OpenBSD 6.3 or above
• A working internet connection
• Root access to the system

Step 1: Installation of dependencies

To use Traggo on OpenBSD, you need several dependencies installed on your system. In the OpenBSD terminal, run the following command to install all necessary dependencies:

$ doas pkg_add git npm node

After executing the command, it would prompt you for confirmation to grant root access, type the root password, and press the 'y' key to proceed with the installation.

Step 2: Clone Traggo Repository

Traggo is available as a Git repository on Github. Open a terminal on your OpenBSD system, and run the following command to clone the Traggo repository:

$ git clone https://github.com/traggo/server.git

It will download the Traggo source code to your system.

Step 3: Install the prerequisite packages

Switch to the Traggo directory, which you have cloned in the previous step. Once inside the directory, execute the following command that installs prerequisite packages:

$ npm install

Step 4: Configure Traggo

Configure Traggo by creating a .env file at the root of the Traggo directory with the following content:

POSTGRES_USER=root
POSTGRES_PASSWORD=root
POSTGRES_DB=traggo
POSTGRES_HOST=db
NODE_ENV=production
PORT=3000

Note: If you prefer to change the default port assigned by Traggo, update the PORT to a different number.

Step 5: Run Traggo

After completing the previous steps, it's time to start the Traggo app by running the following command:

$ npm start

The command will start the Traggo app on port 3000, as specified in the .env file.

Step 6: Access Traggo

After following all the above steps, you should now be able to access Traggo web interface. In the web browser of your choice, input the IP address of your OpenBSD system followed by the port number assigned in the .env file:

http://<ip-address>:<port-number>/

For example, if your OpenBSD IP address is 192.168.0.1, and port is 3000, you will enter the following address in the web browser:

http://192.168.0.1:3000/

Congratulations! You have installed Traggo on your OpenBSD system and are ready to use it.
