How to Install EtherCalc on NetBSD

EtherCalc is a web-based open-source spreadsheet application that can be self-hosted on your own server. Here is a tutorial on how to install EtherCalc on NetBSD.

Prerequisites

Before we begin with the installation, ensure that your system meets the following prerequisites:

Step 1: Install Node.js

EtherCalc requires Node.js, so we need to install it first.

You can install Node.js using the following command:

pkgin install nodejs

After the installation is complete, verify that Node.js is installed by running the following command:

node -v

Step 2: Install Redis

EtherCalc uses Redis as its backend data store. So, you need to install Redis on your NetBSD server.

You can install Redis through the following command:

pkgin install redis

After the installation is complete, verify that Redis is installed by running the following command:

redis-cli ping

You should receive a "PONG" response if Redis is installed successfully.

Step 3: Install EtherCalc

Now, we can download and install EtherCalc using Git.

Run the following command to clone the repository to your server:

git clone https://github.com/audreyt/ethercalc.git

Once the clone process is complete, navigate to the ethercalc directory and install the necessary dependencies by running the following command:

npm install

Step 4: Configure EtherCalc

Next, we need to configure EtherCalc.

By default, EtherCalc listens on port 8000. You can change the port number by editing the bin/run file.

You should also specify the Redis server details. The Redis server details can be specified through the following environment variables:

export REDIS_HOST=<redis_server_address>
export REDIS_PORT=<redis_server_port>
export REDIS_DB=<redis_database_number>

Update these variables with your Redis server details.

Step 5: Start EtherCalc

Finally, start EtherCalc using the following command:

bin/ethercalc

EtherCalc should be up and running. Access it by opening a web browser and navigating to http://<Server_IP>:8000.

Conclusion

Congratulations, you have successfully installed EtherCalc on your NetBSD server. You can now use EtherCalc to create and manage spreadsheets.

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!
