In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps to install Syndie on your NetBSD machine. Syndie is a decentralized, privacy-focused communication platform that offers secure and anonymous messaging.
Before you start, please ensure that you have the following:
The first step is to install OpenJDK on your NetBSD machine. Syndie requires Java to run, so we need to install OpenJDK as follows:
Open the terminal and type the following command to install OpenJDK:
sudo pkg_add openjdk11
After the installation is complete, verify the installation by typing the following command:
java --version
You should see the version of Java that was just installed.
Now that we have installed OpenJDK, it's time to download and configure Syndie on our NetBSD machine.
Open up the terminal and navigate to the /opt directory.
cd /opt
Download the Syndie tarball using the following command:
sudo ftp https://syndie.de/downloads/latest.tar.gz
Extract the downloaded tar file using the following command:
sudo tar -xzf latest.tar.gz
Navigate to the extracted Syndie directory:
cd syndie
Run the startup script as follows:
sudo ./run.sh
This command will start Syndie, and you should see the output similar to the following:
Starting Syndie...

INFO: Starting Syndie 1.107b (Build 00175) on Java 11.0.11 using I2P 0.9.49-0-0ubuntu1 with running clock
Leave this terminal window running in the background to keep Syndie running.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured Syndie on your NetBSD machine. Now it's time to use it.
In this tutorial, we have walked you through the steps to install Syndie on your NetBSD machine. Syndie is an excellent choice for those who are looking for decentralized and secure communication platforms. It's a privacy-focused platform that allows you to communicate anonymously without sacrificing your security.
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!
