In this tutorial, we will be installing Wirow on FreeBSD Latest. Wirow is an open-source server designed to provide wireless collaboration capabilities for teams.
Before we begin, ensure that you have the following requirements:
First, we need to install the dependencies for Wirow to run. To do this, open the terminal and execute the following command:
sudo pkg update
sudo pkg install git yarn node14
The above commands will update the package repositories and install the required dependencies.
Next, we need to download the Wirow repository from GitHub. To do this, execute the following command in the terminal:
git clone https://github.com/wirow-io/wirow-server.git
This command will clone the Wirow repository into a directory named "wirow-server" in your home directory.
Now that we have downloaded the Wirow repository, we can install it using the following commands:
cd wirow-server
yarn install
The above commands will enter the Wirow directory and install the necessary packages required to run Wirow.
Before we start the Wirow service, we need to configure it by creating the configuration file. Copy the default configuration file by running the following command:
cp .env.example .env
Once copied, open the .env file and update it as per your requirements.
To start the Wirow service, execute the following command from the Wirow directory:
yarn start
This will start the Wirow service on port 3000. You can then access Wirow by visiting your server's IP address or domain name in a web browser followed by the port number (e.g. http://your-server-ip:3000).
Congratulations! You have now successfully installed Wirow 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!
