Freeboard is an open-source, web-based dashboard that allows users to create and customize interactive data visualizations. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to install Freeboard on the NetBSD operating system.
Before installing Freeboard on NetBSD, make sure you have the following prerequisites installed:
First, we need to clone the Freeboard repository from Github. Open a terminal and run the following command:
$ git clone https://github.com/Freeboard/freeboard.git
This command will download the Freeboard source code to your local machine.
Freeboard requires several Node.js packages to run. Navigate to the cloned directory and run the following command to install them:
$ cd freeboard
$ npm install
This command will install all the required packages for Freeboard.
To start the Freeboard server, run the following command in the terminal:
$ npm start
This will start the server on http://localhost:8080.
Once the server is running, you can test Freeboard by accessing it in your web browser. Open your web browser and go to http://localhost:8080/freeboard/index.html.
This will load the Freeboard interface in your browser. You can now create and customize data visualizations using Freeboard.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Freeboard on NetBSD. You can now use Freeboard to create and customize data visualizations for your projects.
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!
