Wakapi is an open-source software that allows you to track your coding activity. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Wakapi on FreeBSD Latest.
Before we proceed with the installation, there are a few prerequisites that you need to have:
Before installing any software, it is recommended to update the system to the latest packages. Run the following command in the terminal:
sudo pkg update && sudo pkg upgrade
Wakapi requires some packages to be installed on the system. Run the following command to install the required packages:
sudo pkg install -y git curl gcc make python3 py38-pip
Clone the Wakapi repository from GitHub. Run the following command in the terminal:
sudo git clone https://github.com/muety/wakapi.git /opt/wakapi
Next, we need to install Python packages required by Wakapi. Navigate to the Wakapi folder and run the following command:
cd /opt/wakapi && sudo python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt
Create a configuration file for Wakapi in the /opt/wakapi directory. Run the following command in the terminal:
sudo cp config.example.py config.py && sudo nano config.py
Update the DATABASE_URL variable according to your database configuration. For example:
DATABASE_URL = "postgresql://wakapi_user:wakapi_password@localhost/wakapi"
Save and close the file.
Create a PostgreSQL database for Wakapi. Run the following command to create a new database:
sudo su postgres -c "createdb wakapi"
Initialize the database schema using the following command:
cd /opt/wakapi && sudo python3 scripts/create_db.py
Start the Wakapi service using the following command:
cd /opt/wakapi && sudo python3 scripts/run.py
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Wakapi on your FreeBSD Latest server. Now, you can start tracking your coding activity by accessing Wakapi through a web browser.
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!
