How to download and start OpenBullet 2

[96]

Introduction

In this guide I will explain all the steps needed to get OpenBullet 2 up and running on your system.
This can be achieved in several ways.

Running a precompiled build

If you don’t want to mess with docker and don’t want to compile your own build, you can use the latest automatically compiled build available on github.
First of all visit this page and download the OpenBullet2.zip
 file (do not select the source code option). Once you downloaded it, unzip it to a folder of your choice.Now it’s time to install the asp.net core runtime. You can find instructions on how to install it on your system at the link provided.

When you’re done, you can test if it got installed properly by opening a command prompt and typing dotnet --version, which should output a version number like 5.0 or above.
Navigate to the folder where the file OpenBullet2.dll is located (the one you just unzipped) and launch it by using the following command:
 

Code:

dotnet ./OpenBullet2.dll

If you’re on Windows, you can click on OpenBullet2.exe instead to achieve the same result.
You should now be able to navigate to http://localhost:5000 on your browser in order to see the OpenBullet 2 setup screen.

Using docker 

Install docker from Get Docker | Docker Documentation
Create a local folder called UserData where your settings will be stored and run

Code:

docker run -p 8069:5000 -v UserData:/app/UserData -it openbullet/openbullet2:latest

and finally navigate to http://localhost:8069 to access your dockerized OB2 instance!
Let’s break down the docker command:

Code:

-p 8069:5000  will map your local port 8069 to the container’s port 5000 where OB2 is listening
-v UserData:/app/UserData  will map your local UserData directory to the UserData directory inside the container so that even if you switch container in the future you won’t lose your settings
-it will start an interactive shell that lets you see the output of the OB2 webserver for debugging purposes. You can remove this if you don’t care about it.

Compiling your own build Install git from Git - Downloads.

Install the .NET 5 SDK (not runtime) from Download .NET 5.0 (Linux, macOS, and Windows) 479
Open your favourite terminal (or git bash) and run
 

Code:

git clone https://github.com/openbullet/OpenBullet2/
 
now cd into the folder where
OpenBullet2.csproj resides cd OpenBullet2/OpenBullet2
and compile OB2 using 
dotnet build --configuration Release
you can then navigate to the build folder and start OB2 with the usual command
cd bin/Release/net5.0 dotnet ./OpenBullet2.dll
