Mobilizon is a free and open-source platform for organizing events, mobilizing people, and protecting privacy. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps of installing Mobilizon on NetBSD.
Before we begin, please make sure that you have:
Log in to your NetBSD machine and open the terminal or shell. Clone the Mobilizon repository using Git by running the following command:
git clone https://framagit.org/framasoft/mobilizon.git
Navigate to the cloned repository directory by running the following command:
cd mobilizon
Before we can start Mobilizon, we need to install its dependencies. Run the following command to install the dependencies:
mix deps.get
Mobilizon requires a PostgreSQL database to function. If you have not installed PostgreSQL, please install it before proceeding.
Create a new database user and a new database by running the following commands:
su - postgres -c "createuser -d -P mobilizon"
su - postgres -c "createdb -O mobilizon mobilizon_dev"
Make sure to substitute "mobilizon" with the username and database name that you prefer.
Create a new file called ".env" in the root directory of the Mobilizon repository and add the following lines:
export DATABASE_URL=ecto://mobilizon:<password>@localhost/mobilizon_dev
Replace the password with the password you created for the "mobilizon" user.
Mobilizon uses a migration system to set up and update the database schema. Run the following command to create the tables in the database:
mix ecto.migrate
Now that we have configured the database and installed the dependencies, we can start the Mobilizon server by running the following command:
cd assets && npm install && cd .. && iex -S mix phx.server
This command will start the server and install the required JavaScript dependencies.
Open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost:4000. You will see the Mobilizon login page. You can sign up for a new account and start using Mobilizon.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install Mobilizon on NetBSD. With Mobilizon, you can organize events, mobilize people, and protect the privacy of attendees. We hope this tutorial was helpful, and we wish you all the best in your future Mobilizon endeavors!
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!
