How to Install OhMyForms on FreeBSD Latest

OhMyForms is a free and open-source online form builder that allows you to easily create custom forms without having to write any code. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install OhMyForms on FreeBSD Latest.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, ensure that you have the following:

• FreeBSD Latest installed on your system
• Root access to the system or a user account with sudo privileges

Step 1: Install Required Dependencies

Before installing OhMyForms, let's install its required dependencies. Run the following command as root or with sudo:

pkg install -y git node npm mongodb

Step 2: Clone OhMyForms Repository

Next, we need to clone the OhMyForms repository. Change to the directory where you want to clone the repository and execute the following command:

git clone https://github.com/ohmyform/ohmyform.git

This will download the OhMyForms code to your system.

Step 3: Install and Configure MongoDB

OhMyForms requires MongoDB to store its data. Let's install and configure MongoDB on our system.

First, start the MongoDB service:

service mongod start

Next, create a database and a user for OhMyForms:

mongo
use ohmyform
db.createUser({ user: "ohmyform", pwd: "password", roles: [ "readWrite" ] })
exit

Make sure to replace password with a strong password of your choice.

Step 4: Configure OhMyForms

Now let's configure OhMyForms to use our MongoDB database.

Change to the OhMyForms directory:

cd ohmyform

Edit the .env file:

nano .env

Replace the following lines:

HOST=127.0.0.1
PORT=3000
MONGODB_URL=mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017/ohmyform

With:

HOST=0.0.0.0
PORT=80
MONGODB_URL=mongodb://ohmyform:password@localhost:27017/ohmyform

Make sure to replace password with the password you set for the OhMyForms user in MongoDB.

Step 5: Install and Start OhMyForms

Now let's install OhMyForms dependencies and start the server.

First, install OhMyForms dependencies:

npm install

Next, start the OhMyForms server:

npm start

You should see output similar to the following:

> ohmyform@1.0.0 start /path/to/ohmyform
> node index.js

Server listening on port 80

OhMyForms is now up and running on your FreeBSD system. You should be able to access it by navigating to http://Your_IP_Address in your web browser.
