Sure, here's a tutorial on how to install Indieauth on FreeBSD Latest:
Before installing Indieauth, you'll need to have a web server setup with PHP and SSL already configured. In addition, you'll need to have administrative access to the server.
SSH into your FreeBSD server as the root user.
Install PHP, required PHP extensions and required dependencies:
pkg install php74 php74-mbstring php74-curl php74-json php74-openssl php74-pdo php74-pdo_mysql
pkg install composer
Install Git:
pkg install git
Clone the Indieauth repository from GitHub:
git clone https://github.com/aaronpk/IndieAuth.git
Install the PHP dependencies:
cd IndieAuth
composer install
Configure your Indieauth deployment by creating a .env
file. Use the following recommendations for the settings:
APP_ENV=prod
APP_DEBUG=0
APP_SECRET=<Choose a random secret string>
DATABASE_URL=mysql://<MYSQL_USER>:<MYSQL_PASSWORD>@<MYSQL_HOST>/<MYSQL_DBNAME>
SITE_NAME=<Name of site>
SITE_URL=<URL of site>
ACCOUNT_NAME=<Name of account on site>
ACCOUNT_URL=<URL of account on site>
INDIEAUTH_CLIENT_ID=<IndieAuth Client ID>
INDIEAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET=<IndieAuth Client Secret>
INDIEAUTH_REDIRECT_URI=<IndieAuth Redirect URI>
INDIEAUTH_AUTHORIZATION_ENDPOINT=https://indie.auth.com/auth
INDIEAUTH_TOKEN_ENDPOINT=https://indie.auth.com/token
INDIEAUTH_MICROPUB_ENDPOINT=https://indie.auth.com/micropub
INDIEAUTH_MICROSUB_ENDPOINT=https://indie.auth.com/microsub
Note: Replace <MYSQL_USER>
, <MYSQL_PASSWORD>
, <MYSQL_HOST>
and <MYSQL_DBNAME>
with your own values.
Setup the database:
php bin/console doctrine:database:create
php bin/console doctrine:schema:update --force
Configure your web server to point to the /web
directory of the Indieauth installation as the document root.
Restart your web server.
Your Indieauth deployment is now ready to use. Access the site via the browser and you should see the Indieauth page.
That's it! You have successfully installed Indieauth on your FreeBSD 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!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
