Sure, here's a tutorial on how to install Picsur on FreeBSD Latest:
Before installing Picsur, make sure you have the following prerequisites installed on your FreeBSD Latest system:
The first step is to clone the Picsur repository from GitHub. To do this, open a terminal and run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/rubikscraft/Picsur.git
This will clone the Picsur repository into a directory named Picsur in your current working directory.
Next, navigate to the Picsur directory and install the project's dependencies using npm:
cd Picsur
npm install
This may take a few minutes to complete, as npm will download and install all of the necessary packages and libraries.
Picsur requires a PostgreSQL database to store its data. You'll need to create a new database and user for Picsur to use. To do this, open a PostgreSQL shell by running the following command:
psql
Then, enter the following commands to create a new database and user:
CREATE DATABASE picsur;
CREATE USER picsur_user WITH PASSWORD 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE picsur TO picsur_user;
Replace password with a strong password of your choice.
Picsur uses environment variables to store sensitive configuration information like the database connection string and secret key. You'll need to create a new .env file in the project directory and add the following variables:
DATABASE_URL=postgres://picsur_user:password@localhost:5432/picsur
SECRET_KEY=mysecretkey
Replace password with the password you created for the picsur_user in Step 3, and replace mysecretkey with a strong secret key of your choice.
Finally, you can start the Picsur server by running the following command:
npm start
This will start the server on port 3000 by default. You can access the Picsur web interface in your web browser by navigating to http://localhost:3000.
Congratulations, you've successfully installed Picsur on FreeBSD Latest!
