Motor Admin is a web-based database management tool that allows you to manage multiple databases from a single console. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Motor Admin on FreeBSD.
Before beginning the installation process, please make sure that you have the following prerequisites installed on your FreeBSD system:
The first step is to clone the Motor Admin repository from GitHub. You can do this by running the following command:
git clone https://github.com/motor/motor-admin.git
This will clone the Motor Admin repository to your current working directory.
Once you have cloned the Motor Admin repository, navigate to the project directory and run the following command:
npm install
This will install all the necessary dependencies for Motor Admin.
Next, you need to configure Motor Admin to connect to your MongoDB database. To do this, copy the config.example.js file to config.js:
cp config.example.js config.js
Then, open the config.js file and modify the mongodbUrl property to reflect your MongoDB connection string.
Finally, you can build and start Motor Admin with the following command:
npm run build
npm start
This will build the Motor Admin application and start it on port 3000.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Motor Admin on FreeBSD. You can now visit the Motor Admin website in your browser by navigating to http://localhost:3000. From here, you can manage your databases with ease.
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!
