How to Install Strider on OpenSUSE Latest

Strider is a free, open-source Continuous Integration and Deployment (CI/CD) platform that enables developers to automate the building, testing, and deployment of their applications in a seamless and efficient manner. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Strider on OpenSUSE Latest.

Prerequisites

Before proceeding with this tutorial, you should have:

An OpenSUSE Latest installation with root privileges
A web browser
Access to the internet

Step 1: Install Node.js and MongoDB

Strider is built on top of Node.js and MongoDB. Therefore, before installing Strider, you need to install Node.js and MongoDB on your OpenSUSE Latest system.

To install Node.js and MongoDB, open the terminal and run the following commands:

sudo zypper update
sudo zypper install nodejs mongodb

Step 2: Install Strider

To install Strider on OpenSUSE Latest, follow the steps below:

Download the latest release of Strider from the official website. At the time of writing, the latest version of Strider is 1.9.12.
Extract the downloaded archive:
```
tar -xvf strider-1.9.12.tar.gz
```
Change the directory to the extracted folder:
```
cd strider-1.9.12
```
Install the necessary dependencies:
```
npm install
```

Step 3: Configure Strider

Before you can use Strider, you need to configure it to connect to your MongoDB database. To do this, follow the steps below:

Create a new configuration file:

cp conf/config.example.json conf/config.json

Edit the conf/config.json file and modify the following parameters:
```
"db_uri": "mongodb://localhost/strider",
"server_name": "localhost",
"port": 3000
```
Change the db_uri parameter to match the URI of your MongoDB database, if needed. By default, Strider will try to connect to a MongoDB database running on the same system.

Change the server_name parameter to match the hostname of your system, if needed.

Change the port parameter to the port number on which you want Strider to listen for incoming HTTP requests.

Step 4: Start Strider

To start Strider, simply run the following command from the Strider directory:

npm start

You should see output similar to the following:

> [email protected] start /path/to/strider
> node bin/strider

This means that Strider is running and listening for incoming HTTP requests on the specified port.

Step 5: Access Strider

To access Strider from your web browser, go to the following URL:

http://localhost:3000

You should see the Strider login screen. Enter your credentials (or create a new account) to log in and start using Strider.
