How to Install Databunker on FreeBSD Latest

Databunker is a GDPR compliant personal information management tool that allows you to store sensitive personal data securely. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Databunker on FreeBSD Latest.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:

Step 1: Update System Packages

First, log in to your FreeBSD system and update the system packages by running the following command:

sudo pkg update && sudo pkg upgrade -y

This command updates the package repository and upgrades the system packages to their latest versions.

Step 2: Install PostgreSQL

Databunker uses PostgreSQL as its backend database. To install PostgreSQL, run the following command:

sudo pkg install postgresql13-server

This command installs the PostgreSQL server and its required dependencies.

Step 3: Initialize PostgreSQL

After installing PostgreSQL, we need to initialize the database by running the following command:

sudo service postgresql initdb

This command creates the necessary directories and files for PostgreSQL.

Step 4: Start PostgreSQL

To start the PostgreSQL server, run the following command:

sudo service postgresql start

This command starts the PostgreSQL server and enables it to start automatically at boot time.

Step 5: Create a User and Database for Databunker

Next, we need to create a user and database for Databunker. To do this, log in to the PostgreSQL server as the root user by running the following command:

sudo -u postgres psql

Once you have logged in, create a new user and database by running the following SQL commands:

CREATE USER databunker_user WITH PASSWORD 'your_password';
CREATE DATABASE databunker_db OWNER databunker_user;

This creates a new user called databunker_user with the password your_password, and a new database called databunker_db with databunker_user as its owner.

Exit from the PostgreSQL console by running the following command:

\q

Step 6: Install Databunker

To install Databunker, run the following command:

sudo pkg install databunker

This command installs the Databunker package and its dependencies.

Step 7: Configure Databunker

After installing Databunker, we need to configure it to use the PostgreSQL database that we created earlier. To do this, edit the databunker.conf file using your preferred text editor:

sudo nano /usr/local/etc/databunker.conf

In the [postgresql] section of the file, replace the default values with the user, password, and database name that we created earlier:

[postgresql]
host = localhost
port = 5432
user = databunker_user
password = your_password
dbname = databunker_db
sslmode = disable

Save the changes and exit the text editor.

Step 8: Start Databunker

Now that we have configured Databunker, start the Databunker service by running the following command:

sudo service databunker start

This command starts the Databunker service and enables it to start automatically at boot time.

Step 9: Access Databunker

Databunker is now installed and running on your FreeBSD system. You can access Databunker by opening a web browser and navigating to http://localhost:3000/.
