How to Install Temboz on NetBSD

Temboz is a web-based graphical user interface for managing databases. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Temboz on NetBSD.

Prerequisites

Before installing Temboz, make sure that NetBSD is up-to-date and that you have root access to the system.

Step 1: Install Dependencies

To run Temboz, you need to install Apache web server, PHP, and PostgreSQL database. You can do this via the package manager:

$ sudo pkg_add apache php pgsql

Step 2: Install Git

You will also need to install Git to clone the source code from the Temboz repository. You can install it using the command:

$ sudo pkg_add git

Step 3: Clone the Repository

Next, you need to clone the Temboz repository using Git:

$ git clone https://github.com/fazalmajid/temboz.git

This will create a new directory named "temboz" in your current directory.

Step 4: Configure Apache

Now, we need to configure Apache to serve the Temboz application. First, create a new Apache configuration file:

$ sudo touch /usr/pkg/etc/httpd/temboz.conf

Then, open and edit the file using your preferred text editor. Add the following lines to the file:

Alias /temboz /path/to/temboz
<Directory /path/to/temboz>
    Require all granted
    AllowOverride All
</Directory>

Replace "/path/to/temboz" with the actual path to the Temboz directory that you cloned in Step 3.

Step 5: Initialize the Database

Before using Temboz, you need to create a new PostgreSQL database for it. You can do this with the following command:

$ sudo su -l pgsql -c 'createdb temboz'

Step 6: Install Temboz

To install Temboz, you need to run the installer script:

$ cd /path/to/temboz
$ sudo php install.php

The installer will ask you a few questions about your database and Apache configuration. Make sure to answer them correctly.

Step 7: Start Apache

Finally, start Apache to serve the Temboz application:

$ sudo apachectl -k start

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Temboz on NetBSD. You can now use it to manage your databases via a web-based GUI.

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!
