Installing Oddworks on NetBSD

In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to install Oddworks on NetBSD. Oddworks is an open-source content management system for video distribution and discovery. It allows you to manage your video content and distribute it across different platforms.

Prerequisites

Before you start, make sure you have the following prerequisites:

  1. NetBSD installed on your system.
  2. An internet connection for downloading dependencies.

Step 1: Install Node.js

Oddworks is built on Node.js, so you need to have Node.js installed on your system. If you don't have it already, you can install it by running the following command:

pkgin install nodejs

This will install the latest stable version of Node.js on your system.

Step 2: Clone Oddworks

Now that you have Node.js installed, you can clone the Oddworks repository by running the following command:

git clone https://gitlab.com/oddnetworks/oddworks/core.git

This will download the latest version of Oddworks to your system.

Step 3: Install Dependencies

Once you have cloned the repository, navigate to the core directory by running the following command:

cd core

Next, install dependencies by running the following command:

npm install

This will install all the necessary dependencies for Oddworks.

Step 4: Configure Oddworks

Oddworks requires configuration before it can be used. You can create a configuration file by copying the config.example.js file and renaming it to config.js. Run the following command to do this:

cp config.example.js config.js

Next, open the config.js file in a text editor and replace the placeholders with your own values.

Step 5: Run Oddworks

Finally, you can start Oddworks by running the following command:

npm start

This will start the Oddworks server, and you should see the message Oddcast server listening on port 3000 in your terminal.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured Oddworks on NetBSD. You can now start managing your video content and distributing it across different platforms.

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!
