How to Install VivumLab on OpenBSD

VivumLab is a powerful and feature-rich virtualization management platform designed to manage virtual machines, containers and network devices. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install VivumLab on OpenBSD.

Prerequisites

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

• OpenBSD installed on your system
• Root privileges to install packages and dependencies
• Stable internet connection

Step 1 - Install Dependencies

The first step is to install the required dependencies for VivumLab. Open a terminal and run the following command:

# pkg_add git nginx certbot python3 py3-pip py37-cryptography py37-gevent py37-psycopg2 py37-sqlalchemy py37-pyodbc py37-sqlparse py37-flask py37-flask-login py37-flask-migrate py37-flask-script py37-flask-socketio py37-flask-wtf py37-redis py37-passlib py37-pipenv

Step 2 - Clone VivumLab Repository

Next, we need to clone the VivumLab repository to our local machine. Run the following command to clone the repository:

# git clone https://github.com/vivumlab/vivumlab.git

This will clone the repository to your current working directory.

Step 3 - Configure Nginx

VivumLab requires a web server to work properly. We will use Nginx as the web server for VivumLab. Run the following command to create a new Nginx server block for VivumLab:

# nano /etc/nginx/nginx.conf

Add the following configuration to the file:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name vivumlab.example.com;

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8000;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
    }
}

Make sure to replace vivumlab.example.com with your own domain name. Save and exit the file.

Step 4 - Install SSL Certificate

In order to secure our web traffic, we need to install SSL certificate for our domain. We will use Let's Encrypt for this purpose. Run the following command to install Let's Encrypt and obtain a SSL certificate:

# certbot certonly --webroot -w /var/www/vivumlab -d vivumlab.example.com

This will install Let's Encrypt and obtain a SSL certificate for your domain. Make sure to replace vivumlab.example.com with your own domain name.

Step 5 - Configure VivumLab

Next, we need to configure VivumLab to work with our Nginx server. Edit the config.py file from VivumLab directory:

# nano /home/vivumlab/vivumlab/config.py

Change the following settings:

HOSTNAME = 'vivumlab.example.com'
SERVER_NAME = 'http://vivumlab.example.com'

Make sure to replace vivumlab.example.com with your own domain name.

Step 6 - Install VivumLab Dependencies

Now we need to install VivumLab dependencies. Change directory to the VivumLab directory and run the following command:

# pipenv install --system --deploy

This will install all the required dependencies.

Step 7 - Launch VivumLab

Finally, we are ready to launch VivumLab. Run the following command to start VivumLab:

# pipenv run python run.py

This will start the VivumLab application on port 8000. You should be able to access the VivumLab web interface by visiting https://vivumlab.example.com in your web browser.

That's it! You have successfully installed VivumLab on OpenBSD.
