How to install ToolJet on FreeBSD Latest

This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing ToolJet on FreeBSD Latest.

Prerequisites

Before starting, ensure that you have the following prerequisites:

• A server running FreeBSD Latest
• An internet connection
• A user account with administrative privileges

Step 1: Install Node.js

ToolJet requires Node.js to be installed on your FreeBSD server. To install Node.js, run the following command:

pkg install node

Step 2: Install Git

ToolJet requires Git to be installed on your FreeBSD server. To install Git, run the following command:

pkg install git

Step 3: Clone the ToolJet Repository

Next, clone the ToolJet repository using Git by running the following command:

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

Step 4: Install ToolJet

Change into the ToolJet directory by running the following command:

cd ToolJet

Install the ToolJet dependencies by running the following command:

Step 5: Configure ToolJet

ToolJet requires a configuration file before it can be started. Copy the sample configuration file to a new file called config.json by running the following command:

cp config.sample.json config.json

Open the config.json file using your favorite text editor and modify the listen and proxy values to match your server's IP address and port. For example:

"listen": {
    "host": "0.0.0.0",
    "port": 3000
},
"proxy": {
    "host": "0.0.0.0",

> ToolJet@0.0.0 start /usr/home/user/ToolJet
> node app.js

Server started and listening at http://0.0.0.0:3000

ToolJet is now running on your FreeBSD server! You can access it by visiting your server's IP address and port in a web browser, like so:

http://your.server.ip.address:3000

Congratulations, you have successfully installed ToolJet 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!
