How to Install StockazNG on NetBSD

StockazNG is a network inventory system that can be installed on a variety of platforms, including NetBSD. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing StockazNG on your NetBSD system.

Note: This tutorial assumes that you have a basic understanding of the NetBSD operating system and have administrative privileges.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, please ensure that the following software packages are installed on your NetBSD system:

• Apache web server
• PHP
• MySQL
• Git

Step 1: Clone the StockazNG Repository

The first step is to clone the StockazNG repository from the Git repository located at https://dev.sigpipe.me/dashie/StockazNG.

To do this, run the following command in the terminal:

git clone https://dev.sigpipe.me/dashie/StockazNG.git /var/www/htdocs/stockazng

This will clone the repository into the /var/www/htdocs/stockazng directory.

Step 2: Configure the Database

The next step is to configure the database for StockazNG.

First, create a new database by running the following command:

mysql -u root -p -e 'CREATE DATABASE stockazng'

Enter your MySQL root password when prompted.

Next, create a new user and grant them privileges to the database by running the following commands:

mysql -u root -p -e "CREATE USER 'stockazng'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'your_password'"
mysql -u root -p -e "GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON stockazng.* TO 'stockazng'@'localhost'"

Replace your_password with a strong password of your choice.

Finally, import the database schema by running the following command:

mysql -u stockazng -p stockazng < /var/www/htdocs/stockazng/config/schema.mysql

Enter the password you created for the stockazng user when prompted.

Step 3: Configure Apache

The last step is to configure Apache to serve the StockazNG web application.

First, create a new Apache virtual host file by running the following command:

nano /usr/pkg/etc/httpd/stockazng.conf

Add the following configuration to the file:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName stockazng.example.com
    DocumentRoot /var/www/htdocs/stockazng
    <Directory /var/www/htdocs/stockazng>
        Options FollowSymLinks ExecCGI
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Replace stockazng.example.com with your domain name.

Next, enable the virtual host file by running the following command:

echo 'Include etc/httpd/stockazng.conf' >> /usr/pkg/etc/httpd/httpd.conf

Finally, restart Apache by running the following command:

service httpd restart

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed StockazNG on your NetBSD system. To access the web application, navigate to http://stockazng.example.com (replace stockazng.example.com with your domain name) in your web browser.

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!
