How to do it...

Toaster can be started with the following commands:

$ cd /opt/yocto/poky
$ source oe-init-build-env
$ source toaster start  

/opt/yocto/poky/bitbake/bin/toaster is a shell script that will set up Toaster's environment, load the default configuration and database migrations, connect to the OpenEmbedded Layer Index, and download information about the metadata layers it has available for the current release, as well as starting the web server and the runbuilds poller process.

To access the web user interface, go to http://127.0.0.1:8000.

By default, Toaster binds to localhost on port 8000, but this can be specified as follows:

$ source toaster start webport=<IP>:<PORT>
