Fess is an open-source full-text search server, written in Java. It is used to search for information in documents, websites, and databases. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Fess on NetBSD.
Before we proceed with the installation, let's make sure that the following requirements are met:
To download the Fess package, go to the official website https://fess.codelibs.org/ and click the "Download" button. Choose the version of Fess that matches your system's architecture.
After downloading the Fess package, open the terminal and navigate to the directory where the package is downloaded. Use the following command to extract the archive:
tar -xvf fess-x.x.x.tar.gz
Replace x.x.x with the version number you downloaded.
This will extract the contents of the package into a new directory named fess-x.x.x.
Navigate to the fess-x.x.x directory and open the bin folder. Inside the bin folder, you will find a file named fess.in.sh. Open this file in a text editor and update the following variables:
ES_HEAP_SIZE="512m"
FESS_HEAP_SIZE="512m"
MAX_EXECUTE_TIME="3m"
These variables specify the heap size and maximum execution time for Fess. You can modify them based on the requirements of your system.
To start Fess, run the following command:
./fess.sh start
This will start the Fess server. You can access the Fess web interface by opening a web browser and navigating to http://localhost:8080/.
To stop Fess, navigate to the fess-x.x.x directory and run the following command:
./fess.sh stop
This will stop the Fess server.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install Fess on NetBSD. Now that you have successfully installed Fess, you can use it to search for information in your documents, websites, and databases.
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!
