How to Install Kinto on NetBSD

Kinto is an open source server software used for managing JSON documents. It provides a REST API that allows users to perform CRUD operations on the documents.

This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Kinto on NetBSD.

Prerequisites

• NetBSD installed
• Internet connection

Installation Steps

1. Open up a terminal window on your NetBSD machine

2. Install the necessary dependencies using the pkg command:

   sudo pkg_add py38-virtualenv py38-pip py38-cryptography py38-psycopg2
   

   This command will install python virtual environment, pip, cryptography and psycopg2 which are required for Kinto.

3. Create a new virtual environment for Kinto using the virtualenv command:

   virtualenv kinto
   

4. Activate the virtualenv by running the following command:

   source kinto/bin/activate
   

5. Install Kinto using pip command:

   pip install kinto
   

6. Generate a configuration file using below command:

   kinto init
   

7. Edit the configuration file (~/.kinto/kinto.ini) as needed. For example, you may want to configure the storage backend, authentication methods, and logging settings.

8. Run the Kinto server by running the following command:

   kinto start --ini ~/.kinto/kinto.ini
   

   This will start the server at http://localhost:8888.

Conclusion

You have successfully installed Kinto on NetBSD! Now, you can start creating collections and performing CRUD operations on the JSON documents using the REST API provided by Kinto.

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!
