IndieAuth is a decentralized authentication protocol that allows users to use their own domain name to log in to different websites. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install IndieAuth on the NetBSD operating system.
Before we start with the installation, ensure that you have the following requirements:
Follow the steps given below to install IndieAuth on NetBSD:
Git is a version control system that is used to download the IndieAuth source code. Install Git by running the following command:
pkgin install git
Clone the IndieAuth repository by running the following command:
git clone https://github.com/indieauth/indieauth.git
This command will download the IndieAuth source code from the GitHub repository to your local machine.
You need to install the required packages mentioned in the requirements.txt file. To install them, run the following command:
pip install -r requirements.txt
Configuration is the most important part of installing IndieAuth because it requires your domain name. To configure IndieAuth, copy the config.ini.example file to config.ini and edit the file replacing domain.name with your domain name.
cp config.ini.example config.ini
nano config.ini
Add the following lines and replace domain.name with the domain name that you own:
[user]
me = https://domain.name
[client]
secret = <random-32-characters-key>
Finally, to start IndieAuth run the following command:
uwsgi --http :80 --wsgi-file indieauth.py --callable app
The --http :80 parameter specifies the port on which IndieAuth listens, and --wsgi-file indieauth.py --callable app specify the location and name of the IndieAuth file.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install IndieAuth on NetBSD. Following the above steps, you will be able to install and run IndieAuth on your NetBSD machine with ease.
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!
