<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName coreshop.local
    DocumentRoot /var/www/CoreShop/web/
    <Directory "/var/www/CoreShop/web/">
        AllowOverride All
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all

    ErrorLog "/var/log/httpd/coreshop-error_log"
    CustomLog "/var/log/httpd/coreshop-access_log" common
</VirtualHost>

3. Restart Apache by running the command /usr/pkg/sbin/apachectl restart.

3. Follow the prompts, entering your database credentials and other required information when prompted.
4. Once the installation is complete, you should be able to access CoreShop by visiting http://coreshop.local in your browser.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed CoreShop 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!

Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
