In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to install AsmBB on the Debian latest system.
Before installing any package or software, it is recommended to update your system with the latest security patches and updates. Run the following command in the terminal to update your Debian system.
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
AsmBB requires some dependencies to work properly on Debian. Run the following command to install the required dependencies.
sudo apt-get install make gcc libmysqlclient-dev libssl-dev libbz2-dev libc6-dev zlib1g-dev subversion
Now, we need to download the latest version of AsmBB from the official website. We will use the subversion tool to download the source code of AsmBB. Run the following command in the terminal to download the source code.
svn checkout https://subversion.assembla.com/svn/asmforum/asm32/board
Once you have downloaded the source code of AsmBB, navigate to the "board" directory using the following command.
cd board
Now, we need to configure the AsmBB source code to generate a valid makefile. Run the following command to configure AsmBB.
./configure
Then, compile the AsmBB source code using the following command.
make
Finally, install AsmBB on your Debian system using the following command.
sudo make install
Now, we need to configure the AsmBB to run on your Debian system. First, we need to edit the configuration file of AsmBB. Run the following command to open the configuration file in the nano editor.
sudo nano /usr/local/etc/asm32/board.conf
In this file, you need to change the database settings according to your database. For example, change the "DB_USER" and "DB_PASSWORD" to your database username and password. Save the changes and close the file.
Now, we are ready to start the AsmBB forum on your Debian system. Run the following command to start the AsmBB.
sudo /usr/local/etc/asm32/boardd start
You can now open your web browser and navigate to "http://your_ip_address/asm32/board/" to access the AsmBB forum.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured the AsmBB forum on your Debian system. Enjoy!
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
