Noisedash is a web-based application that helps analyze noise levels in different environments. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Noisedash on FreeBSD Latest to start monitoring noise levels.
Before installing Noisedash, make sure you have the following:
The first step is to clone the Noisedash repository from GitHub using the following command:
$ git clone https://github.com/kaythomas0/noisedash.git
This will create a new directory called noisedash in your current working directory.
You will need to install some packages that Noisedash depends on. To do so, run the following command:
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
This will install all the necessary packages that Noisedash requires to run.
Noisedash requires a configuration file to run properly. You can create this file by copying the config.py.example file in the noisedash directory to config.py.
$ cp config.py.example config.py
Then, open config.py with a text editor and configure the variables as required. You will need to specify the database URL, database driver, and other variables.
Noisedash uses a database to store data. You will need to create a new database and a new user with permission to access the database.
To create the database, run the following commands:
$ su - postgres
$ createdb noisedb
Then, create a new user with permission to access the database:
$ createuser noisedbuser
Next, you'll need to run the database migration script that will create the tables required for Noisedash to function.
To migrate the database, run the following command:
$ python manage.py migrate
This will create the required tables in the database.
Noisedash uses static files such as CSS and JavaScript. You will need to collect these files to a single location.
To do so, run the following command:
$ python manage.py collectstatic
This will copy all the static files to the static directory.
Finally, it's time to start the web server and access Noisedash through your web browser. You can use any web server of your choice (such as Apache or Nginx) to serve Noisedash.
Make sure to configure the web server to point to the noisedash directory and start the server.
For example, if you're using Nginx, you can create a new virtual host file in /usr/local/etc/nginx/servers/ with the following:
server {
listen 80;
server_name your_domain.com;
access_log /var/log/nginx/noisedash.access.log;
error_log /var/log/nginx/noisedash.error.log;
location / {
proxy_pass http://localhost:8000;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
}
}
Save the file and restart nginx with service nginx restart.
You can now access Noisedash at http://your_domain.com.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Noisedash on your FreeBSD Latest system.
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!
