Mina is a fast and lightweight deployment tool that helps you deploy your code to servers easily. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps to install Mina on FreeBSD.
Before we start, you'll need to create a FreeBSD instance or have access to a FreeBSD system. You'll also need to have root access or sudo privileges to install software packages.
First, we need to install Ruby on the system. We can do this by running the following command:
sudo pkg install ruby
This command will install the latest version of Ruby available in the FreeBSD package repository.
Next, we need to install Bundler, which is a Ruby gem that helps manage dependencies for Ruby applications.
To install Bundler, run the following command:
sudo gem install bundler
This command will download and install the latest version of Bundler available in the RubyGems repository.
Now that we have Ruby and Bundler installed, we can move on to installing Mina.
Mina is available as a Ruby gem, and we can use Bundler to install it. First, create a new directory for your project and navigate to it:
mkdir myproject && cd myproject
Next, create a Gemfile that specifies the dependencies for your project, including Mina:
source "https://rubygems.org"
gem "mina"
Save and close the file when you're done.
Finally, run Bundler to install Mina and its dependencies:
bundle install
Bundler will download and install Mina, along with any other dependencies specified in your Gemfile.
To verify that Mina is installed correctly, run the following command:
bundle exec mina version
This command will output the version of Mina that is currently installed. If Mina is installed correctly, you should see the version number printed to the console.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed Mina on FreeBSD! You can now use Mina to deploy your applications to servers.
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!
