Open the command prompt on your OpenBSD system.
Clone the μlogger server repository from Github using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/bfabiszewski/ulogger-server.gitInstall the packages required to build μlogger using the package manager:
pkg_add museek-fartitudo pkg_add postgresql pkg_add pythonBefore creating a database, you must create a user for PostgreSQL. To create a user, run the following command:
sudo -u _postgresql psql template1Once you have accessed the template1 database, enter the following command to create a new user:
CREATE ROLE your_username_here LOGIN PASSWORD 'your_password_here' CREATEDB;Next, create the μlogger database:
createdb -O your_username_here μloggerMove into the μlogger server directory:

python manage.py migrateFinally, start the server:
python manage.py runserver 0:8080
That's it! You now have a functioning instance of μlogger running on your OpenBSD system. You can access it using a web browser at http://localhost:8080.
