Freenet is a peer-to-peer network that allows users to share files, browse websites, and communicate anonymously. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of Freenet on NetBSD.
Before you start the installation process, make sure you have the following requirements:
Follow these simple steps to install Freenet on NetBSD:
Open the terminal on your NetBSD system and navigate to the home directory using the command:
cd ~
Next, download the Freenet installer using the following command:
fetch https://freenetproject.org/jnlp/FreenetInstaller.jar
Once the installer is downloaded, run the following command to start the installation process:
java -jar FreenetInstaller.jar -console
Follow the instructions provided by the installer to complete the installation process. Accept the license agreement by typing "Y".
Next, select the installation directory by pressing "Enter". The installer will then start to download and install the required files for Freenet.
Once Freenet is installed, you need to configure it. To do so, type the following command in the terminal:
cd ~/freenet/bin/
./run.sh start
This will start the Freenet configuration wizard. Follow the on-screen instructions to configure your Freenet node. Once the configuration is complete, you can access Freenet by pointing your browser to "http://127.0.0.1:8888/".
To ensure that Freenet starts automatically upon booting, you need to add the following line to the "/etc/rc.local" file:
su - -c "/home/username/freenet/bin/run.sh start" username &
Replace "username" with your NetBSD username.
That's it! You have successfully installed Freenet on your NetBSD system. You can now access the Freenet network and start browsing, sharing files, and communicating anonymously. Remember to always use Freenet responsibly and respect other users' privacy.
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!
