ShinobiCE is a free, open-source software that lets you set up and manage a security camera system. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the process of installing ShinobiCE on FreeBSD Latest.
Before we begin, make sure that your FreeBSD system is up-to-date and has the following prerequisites installed:
Next, we need to clone the ShinobiCE repository. To do this, open a terminal window and run the following command:
git clone https://gitlab.com/Shinobi-Systems/ShinobiCE.git
This will create a new directory called "ShinobiCE" containing the ShinobiCE source code.
In this step, we need to install the dependencies required by the ShinobiCE.
To do that, navigate to the cloned directory and run the following command:
npm install --unsafe-perm
This will install all the required dependencies.
In this step, we need to configure MySQL so that ShinobiCE can use it.
First, log in to your MySQL server and create a new database for ShinobiCE.
mysql -u root -p
CREATE DATABASE shinobi;
Next, create a new user for ShinobiCE and grant it privileges to the ShinobiCE database.
CREATE USER 'shinobi'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON shinobi.* TO 'shinobi'@'localhost' WITH GRANT OPTION;
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit;
In this step, we will configure ShinobiCE to use the MySQL database we just created.
Navigate to the ShinobiCE directory and open the conf.json file.
cd ShinobiCE
nano conf.json
Update the values in the database section to match your MySQL configuration.
"database": {
"type": "mysql",
"host": "localhost",
"user": "shinobi",
"password": "password",
"database": "shinobi"
},
Save the file and exit.
In this step, we will start the ShinobiCE server.
To do this, run the following command:
npm start
This will start the ShinobiCE server on port 8080.
In this step, we will configure Nginx to act as a reverse proxy for the ShinobiCE server.
Create a new server block in your Nginx configuration file and add the following lines:
server {
listen 80;
server_name example.com;
location / {
proxy_pass http://localhost:8080;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
}
}
Replace example.com with your domain name or IP address.
Save the file and exit.
ShinobiCE is now installed and running. To access it, open your web browser and go to your domain name or IP address.
http://example.com
You will be prompted to create a new account and log in. Once you do, you can start adding cameras and configuring your security camera system.
That's it! You have successfully installed ShinobiCE on FreeBSD Latest.
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!
