In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation of Temboz on FreeBSD Latest. Temboz is a web-based file manager that allows users to manage files and directories on a server through a web browser.
Before we begin, ensure that your FreeBSD system is up to date and you have administrator privileges (root access).
You also need to have the following packages installed on your FreeBSD system:
gitnpmnodeIf you don't have these packages installed, you can install them using the following command:
pkg install git npm node
To get started, we need to clone the Temboz repository from GitHub with the following command:
git clone https://github.com/fazalmajid/temboz.git
This command will create a new directory named temboz in the current working directory and download the necessary files from the repository.
Navigate to the temboz directory by running the following command:
cd temboz
To install Temboz dependencies, run the following command:
npm install
This command will install all the necessary packages required by Temboz.
In this step, we need to configure Temboz with our desired settings. Temboz uses a configuration file named config.json. You can copy the sample configuration file to config.json by running the following command:
cp config.sample.json config.json
Next, open the config.json file using a command-line text editor of your choice. For this tutorial, we will be using nano, but you can use any text editor you are comfortable with.
nano config.json
In the config.json file, you can configure the following settings:
port: The port number on which Temboz will listen.root: The root directory of the file system that Temboz will manage.baseURL: The base URL of the Temboz server, e.g., http://localhost.By default, Temboz listens on port 3000 and the root directory is set to the current working directory. You can edit these settings as required.
Save and close the config.json file when you are done.
To start temboz, run the following command:
npm start
This command will start Temboz and output the following message:
Server running at http://localhost:[port]/
Replace [port] with the actual port number you set in the config.json file.
You can now access Temboz by opening your web browser and navigating to the URL displayed in the terminal log.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured Temboz on FreeBSD Latest. You can now use it to manage files and directories on your server.
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!
