How to Install DeepfakeHTTP on NetBSD

Overview

DeepfakeHTTP is a web server that can be used to test and debug HTTP clients. It allows you to create custom responses for HTTP requests, which is useful for testing how your application handles different scenarios. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install DeepfakeHTTP on NetBSD.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:

Steps

First, we need to install a few dependencies that DeepfakeHTTP requires to run.

  1. Update the package manager:

    pkgin update
    
  2. Install the necessary packages:

    pkgin -y install git go
    

    This will install Git and Go, which are required to clone the DeepfakeHTTP repository and build the binary.

  3. Clone the DeepfakeHTTP repository:

    git clone https://github.com/xnbox/DeepfakeHTTP.git
    
  4. Change into the DeepfakeHTTP directory:

    cd DeepfakeHTTP
    
  5. Build the DeepfakeHTTP binary:

    go build -o deepfakehttp
    

    This will create a binary file called deepfakehttp.

  6. Copy the binary to the system binary directory:

    cp deepfakehttp /usr/local/bin
    

    This will allow you to run DeepfakeHTTP from anywhere on the system.

  7. Run DeepfakeHTTP:

    deepfakehttp
    

    This will start the DeepfakeHTTP server on port 8080.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed DeepfakeHTTP on NetBSD. You can now use this web server to test and debug your HTTP 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!
