Smashing is a responsive and customizable dashboard engine written in Ruby. In this tutorial, we will go through the steps required to install Smashing on NetBSD.
Before we start the installation process, make sure that you have the following prerequisites installed on your NetBSD machine:
To install the required dependencies, run the following command in your terminal:
$ sudo pkgin install ruby26 git
Next, we need to clone the Smashing repository from GitHub. To do this, run the following command in your terminal:
$ git clone https://github.com/Smashing/smashing.git
This will clone the repository to your current directory.
Navigate to the cloned Smashing directory and install the gem dependencies using Bundler. To do this, run the following commands:
$ cd smashing
$ bundle install
This will download and install all the required dependencies for Smashing.
Once you have installed all the dependencies, you can start the Smashing server by running the following command:
$ smashing start
This will start the Smashing server and allow you to access it via your web browser.
You can access the Smashing dashboard by opening your web browser and navigating to http://localhost:3030. Alternatively, you can access it on any other device on your local network by replacing localhost with your NetBSD machine's IP address.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Smashing on NetBSD.
In this tutorial, we have gone through the steps required to install Smashing on NetBSD. Now you can start creating your own custom dashboards using the Smashing framework.
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!
