How to Install FlashPaper on FreeBSD Latest

FlashPaper is an open-source tool that allows you to create PDFs from HTML documents. In this tutorial, we'll go over the steps to install FlashPaper on FreeBSD Latest.

Prerequisites

Before we get started, make sure you have the following:

• A FreeBSD Latest server with root access.
• Git installed on your server.
• Apache or Nginx web server installed on your server.
• PHP 7.0 or later installed on your server.

Installation Steps

Follow these steps to install FlashPaper on your FreeBSD Latest server:

1. Clone the FlashPaper repository using Git:

   git clone https://github.com/AndrewPaglusch/FlashPaper.git
   

2. In the FlashPaper directory, you'll find a requirements.txt file. This file contains the dependencies required by FlashPaper. Use pip to install these dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

3. Next, you need to configure your web server to serve FlashPaper. If you're using Apache, create a new virtual host configuration file:

   sudo nano /usr/local/etc/apache24/Includes/flashpaper.conf
   

   Add the following code:

   <VirtualHost *:80>
       ServerName example.com
       DocumentRoot /path/to/FlashPaper/web
       <Directory /path/to/FlashPaper/web>
           AllowOverride All
           Order Allow,Deny
           Allow from All
           Require all granted
       </Directory>
       ErrorLog /usr/local/www/logs/flashpaper_error.log
       CustomLog /usr/local/www/logs/flashpaper_access.log combined
   </VirtualHost>
   

   Replace example.com with your domain name, and /path/to/FlashPaper/web with the path to your FlashPaper web directory.

4. Save and close the file. Then, restart Apache:

   sudo service apache24 restart
   

   If you're using Nginx, create a new server block configuration file:

   sudo nano /usr/local/etc/nginx/conf.d/flashpaper.conf
   

   Add the following code:

   server {
       listen 80;
       server_name example.com;
       root /path/to/FlashPaper/web;
   
       location / {
           try_files $uri /index.php$is_args$args;
       }
   
       location ~ \.php$ {
           fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
           fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
           include fastcgi_params;
       }
   
       error_log /usr/local/www/logs/flashpaper_error.log;
       access_log /usr/local/www/logs/flashpaper_access.log;
   }
   

   Replace example.com with your domain name, and /path/to/FlashPaper/web with the path to your FlashPaper web directory.

5. Save and close the file. Then, reload Nginx:

   sudo service nginx reload
   

6. Finally, test FlashPaper by navigating to http://example.com (replace example.com with your domain). You should see the FlashPaper homepage.

Congratulations! You've successfully installed FlashPaper on your FreeBSD Latest server.

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!
