How to install Alltube on FreeBSD Latest

Alltube is an open-source web application that allows you to download and watch videos from various online sources. This tutorial will walk you through the steps to install Alltube on FreeBSD Latest.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, you need to ensure that your FreeBSD system has the following prerequisites installed:

• Python 3
• pip3 package installer

Step 1: Install Dependencies

First, let's ensure that our system is up-to-date and that all the required dependencies are installed:

sudo pkg update && sudo pkg upgrade
sudo pkg install ffmpeg py38-lxml py38-psycopg2 py38-pip py38-pillow p7zip

Step 2: Clone Alltube Repository

Next, we need to clone the Alltube repository from GitHub:

sudo pkg install git
git clone https://github.com/Rudloff/alltube.git
cd alltube

Step 3: Install Python Packages

Alltube requires several Python packages that we can install using pip3:

sudo pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Step 4: Configure PostgreSQL

Alltube requires a PostgreSQL database to store data. For this step, we will assume that you have already installed PostgreSQL on your FreeBSD system.

To create a new PostgreSQL user and database for Alltube, run the following commands:

sudo su - postgres
createuser -P alltube
createdb -O alltube alltube
exit

Step 5: Configure Alltube

Next, we need to edit the configuration file to point Alltube to the PostgreSQL database we created in the previous step. The configuration file is located in alltube/settings.py. Open the file in a text editor and change the following lines:

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql',
        'NAME': 'alltube',
        'USER': 'alltube',
        'PASSWORD': 'your_password_here',
    }
}

Replace 'your_password_here' with the password you created when running createuser earlier. Save and exit the file.

Step 6: Migrate Database

We need to apply database migrations using Django's migrate command:

python3 manage.py migrate

Step 7: Collect Static Files

Next, we need to collect static files so that we can serve the Alltube web application:

python3 manage.py collectstatic

Step 8: Create a Superuser Account

You can use the createsuperuser command to create a superuser account:

python3 manage.py createsuperuser

Step 9: Run Alltube

Finally, let's run the Alltube web application:

python3 manage.py runserver

You should now be able to access Alltube at http://localhost:8000/. Congratulations, you have successfully installed Alltube on FreeBSD Latest!

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!
