openSUSE

Install honk from the Dae Universe repository.

Use the sudo tab if sudo is configured for your account. Use the root tab when already in a root shell.

These steps need systemd and Linux 6.12 or later. Check the kernel version with uname -r; the kernel requirements list the rest.

1. Add the repository

Install curl if the system does not have it yet.

sudo

sudo zypper install curl

root

zypper install curl

The repository configuration file includes the GPG key address. Zypper asks whether to trust the key the first time it is used.

sudo

sudo curl -fsSL -o /etc/zypp/repos.d/daeuniverse.repo https://daeuniverse.pages.dev/daeuniverse.repo

root

curl -fsSL -o /etc/zypp/repos.d/daeuniverse.repo https://daeuniverse.pages.dev/daeuniverse.repo

2. Install honk

sudo

sudo zypper install honk

root

zypper install honk

Continue with First run.

Upgrade

Upgrade the package, then restart honk and check its status. The package hook only reloads systemd unit definitions; it does not restart the running process.

sudo

sudo zypper update honk
sudo systemctl restart honk.service
sudo systemctl status honk.service --no-pager

root

zypper update honk
systemctl restart honk.service
systemctl status honk.service --no-pager

Uninstall

sudo

sudo systemctl disable --now honk.service
sudo zypper remove honk

root

systemctl disable --now honk.service
zypper remove honk

The configuration directory /etc/honk and runtime state directory /var/lib/honk remain on the host. If you changed data_dir, that directory also remains.
