Conduit is a Rust-based web server that can be installed on various operating systems like Linux, macOS, FreeBSD, and Windows. In this tutorial, we will guide you through installing Conduit on NetBSD.
Before we start with the installation of Conduit, we need to install the following package dependencies:
pkgin update
pkgin install pcre2 openssl
We will clone the latest Conduit source code using git. Open your terminal and run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/conduit-rust/conduit.git
In the next step, we will build the Conduit server using Cargo. Change your directory to the Conduit that you just cloned:
cd conduit
And run the following command:
cargo build --release
It will take some time to compile the Conduit server.
After building the Conduit server, we need to configure the server for our needs. The configuration file is located in the etc/conduit folder.
Copy the default configuration file and make custom changes as per your requirements:
cp etc/conduit/example.toml etc/conduit/conduit.toml
vi etc/conduit/conduit.toml
After configuring the server according to your needs, save the file and exit the editor.
In the final step, we will run the Conduit server, and it will start listening on port 8080:
target/release/conduit
You can access the server by browsing the following URL in your web browser:
http://<your-server-ip-address>:8080/
That's it! You have successfully installed and run the Conduit server on NetBSD.
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!
