How to Install Tokumei on NetBSD

Tokumei is a lightweight and privacy-focused blogging platform. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Tokumei on NetBSD.

Prerequisites

• A NetBSD Server
• Root access or sudo privileges
• A domain name pointing to your server's IP address
• A web server (e.g., Nginx)

Step 1: Update the System

Before installing any packages, it's always recommended to update your system's packages to their latest versions. To update the system on NetBSD, run the following command:

sudo pkgin update

Step 2: Install Required Packages

To run Tokumei on NetBSD, we need to install some basic packages like 'git', 'perl', and some Perl modules. To install these packages, run the following command:

sudo pkgin -y install git perl5 perl5-digest-md5 perl5-cgi perl5-config-simple perl5-mime-tools

Step 3: Install Tokumei

Now that we have installed all the required packages, we can proceed to install Tokumei. Follow the steps below to install Tokumei:

1. Download Tokumei from its official website using the command below:

   git clone https://github.com/tokumei/tokumei.git
   

2. Move into the Tokumei directory:

   cd tokumei/
   

3. Run the installation script:

   ./install.sh
   

4. Follow the prompts to configure Tokumei.

   • Enter the domain or subdomain name you want to use for your blog.
   • Enter the email address you want to use as the blog administrator.
   • Set a password for the administrator account.

   The installation script will automatically install all the necessary Perl modules and configure your web server to serve Tokumei.

Step 4: Access the Blog

Now that Tokumei is installed and configured, you can access your blog by opening the domain or subdomain you specified in a web browser:

http://example.com/

You can log in to the admin dashboard by appending '/login' to the URL:

http://example.com/login

That's it! You have successfully installed and configured Tokumei on NetBSD. You can start creating blog posts and customizing your blog's appearance using the administrator dashboard.

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!
