How to Install Socialhome on NetBSD

In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Socialhome on NetBSD. Socialhome is a Django-based social network server that allows users to create and manage their own social networks.

Prerequisites

Step 1: Install Dependencies

Before we can install Socialhome, we need to install the following dependencies:

$ sudo pkgin update
$ sudo pkgin install python37 py37-psycopg2 py37-pillow py37-lxml py37-cryptography py37-requests py37-pushbullet py37-numpy py37-pyopenssl py37-ldap py37-eventlet py37-cairo py37-gobject3 py37-twisted py37-pillow

Step 2: Install Virtualenv

Next, we will install Virtualenv, which is a tool that allows us to create isolated Python environments:

$ sudo pkgin install py37-virtualenv

Step 3: Create a Virtual Environment

Now, we will create a new virtual environment for Socialhome:

$ virtualenv --python=python3.7 socialhome_env

Step 4: Activate the Virtual Environment

Activate the virtual environment by running the following command:

$ . socialhome_env/bin/activate

Step 5: Install Socialhome

Install Socialhome using pip:

$ pip install socialhome

Step 6: Configure the Database

Socialhome uses PostgreSQL as its default database. Before we can use Socialhome, we need to create a new PostgreSQL user and database:

$ sudo su - postgres
$ createuser -P socialhomeuser
$ createdb -O socialhomeuser socialhome
$ exit

Step 7: Configure Socialhome

Now, we need to configure Socialhome by creating a new configuration file:

$ cd ~/socialhome_env
$ mkdir socialhome
$ cd socialhome
$ socialhome --setup

Step 8: Start the Socialhome Server

Start the Socialhome server by running the following command:

$ socialhome

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we have successfully installed Socialhome on NetBSD. We hope this guide has been useful to you. Enjoy using Socialhome!
