Installing EpochTalk on NetBSD

In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps to install EpochTalk on NetBSD. EpochTalk is an open-source forum platform designed for building modern communities.

Prerequisites:

Step 1: Install Dependencies

First, let's install the dependencies required to run EpochTalk on NetBSD. Open your terminal and install the following packages using pkgin package manager.

$ sudo pkgin install node npm postgresql

Step 2: Download EpochTalk

Before downloading EpochTalk, you need to create a directory to store the files. Here, we create a directory named "epochtalk".

$ mkdir epochtalk && cd epochtalk

Next, clone the EpochTalk repository from GitHub.

$ git clone https://github.com/epochtalk/epochtalk.git

Step 3: Install Dependencies

Once you have downloaded EpochTalk, navigate to the directory and install the required dependencies.

$ cd epochtalk
$ npm install

Step 4: Configure PostgreSQL

EpochTalk uses PostgreSQL as the database. To set up the database, you need to create a new user and a new database.

$ sudo su - postgres
$ psql

Next, create a new user.

CREATE USER epochtalk WITH PASSWORD 'password';

Create a new database owned by the epochtalk user.

CREATE DATABASE epochtalk OWNER epochtalk;

Exit psql by typing "\q".

Step 5: Configuration

EpochTalk requires configuration before it can be used.

$ cp config/defaults.json config/local.json

Then edit the ./config/local.json file and replace "PUT_USER_HERE" and "PUT_PASSWORD_HERE" with the database user and password you created in the previous step.

...
"database": {
  "user": "epochtalk",
  "password": "password",
  "database": "epochtalk",
  "host": "localhost",
  "port": 5432,
  "pool": 50
},
...

Step 6: Start the Server

Now that you have installed and configured EpochTalk, let's start the server and check if everything is working fine. Run the following command to start the server.

$ npm start

Finally, you can access your EpochTalk installation by going to "http://localhost:7878" on your browser.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed EpochTalk on NetBSD.
