KeystoneJS is a content management system and web application framework that is built on top of Node.js. In this tutorial, we will learn how to install KeystoneJS on NetBSD.
Before we can install KeystoneJS, we need to have Node.js installed on our system. To do this, we will use the package manager pkgin:
$ sudo pkgin update
$ sudo pkgin install nodejs
After the installation is complete, we can verify the installation by checking the version of Node.js:
$ node -v
KeystoneJS requires a database to store the content and settings. We will be using MongoDB as the database for KeystoneJS. To install MongoDB on NetBSD, we can use pkgin again:
$ sudo pkgin install mongodb
After the installation is complete, we need to start the MongoDB service:
$ sudo /usr/pkg/bin/mongod --fork --logpath /var/log/mongodb.log
We can now install KeystoneJS on NetBSD. To do this, we will use the Node Package Manager npm:
$ npm install -g generator-keystone
This will install the KeystoneJS generator. We can now create a new KeystoneJS project:
$ yo keystone
This command will start the KeystoneJS project generator. You will be prompted to provide some information about the project, such as the name, description, and admin user details.
After the project is generated, we can start the KeystoneJS server:
$ node keystone
By default, KeystoneJS will run on port 3000. You can access the KeystoneJS admin panel by opening the browser and navigating to http://localhost:3000/keystone.
In this tutorial, we learned how to install KeystoneJS on NetBSD. We installed Node.js, MongoDB, and the KeystoneJS generator, and created a new KeystoneJS project. We then started the KeystoneJS server and accessed the admin panel. You should now have a working KeystoneJS installation on your NetBSD system.
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!
