How to Install XBackBone on FreeBSD Latest

XBackBone is an open-source file management system that allows you to store, organize, and share files securely. In this tutorial, we'll walk you through the steps to install XBackBone on FreeBSD Latest.

Prerequisites

Before we start, make sure your FreeBSD system is up to date by running the following command:

sudo pkg update && sudo pkg upgrade

Step 1 - Install required packages

To install XBackBone on FreeBSD, we need to install some required packages first. Run the following command:

sudo pkg install nginx node npm git

This command will install the Nginx web server, Node.js, and Git.

Step 2 - Clone XBackBone GitHub repository

Next, we need to clone the XBackBone GitHub repository to our system. Use the following command to clone it:

sudo git clone https://github.com/PaquitoSoft/xbackbone.git /usr/local/www/xbackbone

This command clones the repository to the /usr/local/www/xbackbone directory.

Step 3 - Install NPM packages

Now, go to the /usr/local/www/xbackbone directory and install the required npm packages by running:

cd /usr/local/www/xbackbone
sudo npm install

This command installs all the necessary packages required by XBackBone.

Step 4 - Configure Nginx

We need to configure Nginx to serve XBackBone. For this, we need to create a new server block file by running the following command:

sudo touch /usr/local/etc/nginx/sites-available/xbackbone
sudo nano /usr/local/etc/nginx/sites-available/xbackbone

Now, paste the following configuration in the file and save it:

server {
    listen       80;
    server_name  domain.example.com;

    location / {
      proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:3000;
      proxy_http_version  1.1;
      proxy_set_header    Upgrade $http_upgrade;
      proxy_set_header    Connection 'upgrade';
      proxy_set_header    Host $host;
      proxy_cache_bypass  $http_upgrade;
      proxy_redirect      off;
      proxy_set_header    X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
    }
}

Make sure to replace domain.example.com with your actual domain name.

Step 5 - Enable the XBackBone server block

After configuring Nginx, we must enable the XBackBone server block by creating a symbolic link to the sites-enabled directory. For this, run the following command:

sudo ln -s /usr/local/etc/nginx/sites-available/xbackbone /usr/local/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/xbackbone

Step 6 - Start XBackBone

Finally, start XBackBone by running the following command:

cd /usr/local/www/xbackbone
sudo npm start

This command will start XBackBone on port 3000. You can access it by visiting your domain in your web browser.

Conclusion

XBackBone is now up and running on FreeBSD Latest. You can start uploading files and sharing them with your team or clients.

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!
