PolitePol is a web-based user interface that enables users to interact with the PostgreSQL database. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation and configuration of PolitePol on FreeBSD Latest.
Before we can proceed, you must have the following prerequisites installed:
To install the required packages, you can use the pkg package manager. Run the following command to install the required packages:
$ sudo pkg install python3 py37-psycopg2 py37-gunicorn git
Clone the PolitePol repository using the following command:
$ git clone https://github.com/taroved/pol.git
Once the repository has been cloned, go to the directory of the cloned repository:
$ cd pol
The configuration file for PolitePol can be found in the config.py file. You can copy the sample configuration file and make your own changes:
$ cp config_sample.py config.py
In the config.py file, set the following options:
DEBUG = False
SECRET_KEY = 'your_secret_key_here'
SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI = 'postgresql://username:password@localhost/database_name'
Replace the username, password and database_name with your PostgreSQL credentials.
You can also set other options as per your requirements.
To start PolitePol, navigate back to the root of the cloned repository and enter the following command:
$ gunicorn --bind 0.0.0.0:8080 pol:app
You can now access PolitePol by visiting http://localhost:8080 on your web browser.
You have now successfully installed and configured PolitePol on your FreeBSD Latest operating system. You can use PolitePol to interact with your PostgreSQL database.
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!
