In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Conduit on FreeBSD Latest. Conduit is a Rust web framework that provides a flexible API for building HTTP servers, clients, and proxies.
Before we proceed with installing Conduit, we need to have Rust installed on our system. To install Rust on FreeBSD, run the following command:
$ sudo pkg install rust
This will download and install Rust and its dependencies.
Conduit requires a PostgreSQL database to store data. If you already have PostgreSQL installed, skip this step. To install PostgreSQL on FreeBSD, run the following command:
$ sudo pkg install postgresql12-server
This will download and install PostgreSQL and its dependencies.
We need to create a PostgreSQL database and user for Conduit. To create a database named conduit
and a user named conduit_user
, run the following commands:
$ sudo -u postgres createdb conduit
$ sudo -u postgres createuser conduit_user
Next, we need to clone the Conduit source code from its Github repository. To do this, run the following command:
$ git clone https://github.com/hyperium/conduit.git
We are now ready to build and run Conduit. To do this, open a terminal and go to the Conduit source code directory. Then, run the following command:
$ cargo run --release
This will build and run Conduit in release mode. You should see output similar to:
Listening on http://127.0.0.1:3000
This means that Conduit is now running and listening for requests on port 3000.
To test Conduit, open a web browser and go to http://localhost:3000. You should see a message that says "Hello, world!". This means that Conduit is working correctly.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install Conduit on FreeBSD Latest. We have also shown you how to create a PostgreSQL database and user for Conduit, and how to build and run Conduit. You should now be able to use Conduit to build web applications using Rust. Happy coding!
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!
