How to Install Bitpoll on NetBSD

In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Bitpoll on NetBSD. Bitpoll is an open-source web application that allows users to create and conduct online polls. This application is written in Python and works with a PostgreSQL database.

Before we begin, please ensure that you have the following prerequisites:

Step 1 - Clone the Repository

The first step is to clone the Bitpoll repository from GitHub. To do this, run the following command on your NetBSD server:

git clone https://github.com/fsinfuhh/Bitpoll.git

This command will download the repository's contents into the current directory.

Step 2 - Install Dependencies

Next, navigate to the Bitpoll directory and install the dependencies. The required dependencies are specified in the requirements.txt file. To install all dependencies, run the following command:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Step 3 - Configure the Application

After installing the dependencies, you need to configure the application. Copy the config.sample.py file to config.py with the following command:

cp config.sample.py config.py

The config.py file contains the application's settings. Modify the file according to your needs by entering your PostgreSQL credentials and other settings.

Step 4 - Create the Database

Next, you need to create the PostgreSQL database for Bitpoll. To do this, log in to your PostgreSQL instance and create a new database with the following command:

createdb bitpoll

You can change bitpoll to any name you prefer.

Step 5 - Initialize the Database

After creating the database, navigate to the Bitpoll directory and initialize the tables. Use the following command to create the required tables:

./initdb.py

Step 6 - Run the Server

Finally, you can run the Bitpoll application by executing the following command:

./run.py

This command will start the application and make it available on your server's IP address on port 5000. You can access the application by navigating to http://your_server_ip:5000 in your web browser.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install Bitpoll on NetBSD. Following these steps, you should now have a working Bitpoll installation on your server. You can now use the application to create and conduct online polls.

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!
