How to Install Uguu on NetBSD

Uguu is a simple file-sharing service that allows you to upload and share files with others. Follow these steps to install Uguu on NetBSD.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, you need to ensure that your NetBSD system meets the following requirements:

• NetBSD version 9.2 or later
• Perl 5.30 or later
• SQLite 3 or later
• Nginx or Apache web server

Step 1: Install Required Packages

Uguu requires several Perl packages to run. You can install them using the pkgin package manager, which should be installed on your system by default. Run the following command to install the necessary packages:

sudo pkgin install p5-DBD-SQLite p5-Furl p5-Plack p5-Plack-Middleware-ReverseProxy p5-Proc-PID-File perl-FCGI

Step 2: Download Uguu

Download the latest version of Uguu from the project's GitHub repository:

wget https://github.com/nokonoko/Uguu/archive/master.zip

Once downloaded, unzip the file:

unzip master.zip

Step 3: Configure Uguu

Inside the extracted Uguu directory, copy the sample configuration file:

cd Uguu-master
cp config.sample.pl config.pl

Open the config.pl file in your preferred text editor and modify the following lines according to your preferences:

$ENV{UPLOAD_PATH} = './files/';  # Change the upload directory path
$ENV{MAX_FILE_SIZE} = 524288000;  # Change the maximum file size (in bytes)
$ENV{SHORTENED_URL} = 'uguu.se';  # Change the short URL
$ENV{SITE_NAME} = 'My Uguu Site';  # Change the site name
$ENV{HTTPS_ONLY} = 0;  # Set to 1 to force HTTPS only

You should also configure your web server to point to the Uguu installation directory. For Nginx, add the following lines to your nginx.conf file:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name my.uguu.site;  # Change to your website's domain name
    root /path/to/Uguu-master;
    index index.cgi;
    location / {
        fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/fcgiwrap.socket;
        include fastcgi_params;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root/index.cgi;
        fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_path_info;
    }
}

For Apache, add the following lines to your httpd.conf file:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName my.uguu.site  # Change to your website's domain name
    DocumentRoot /path/to/Uguu-master
    DirectoryIndex index.cgi
    <Directory /path/to/Uguu-master/>
        Options +ExecCGI
        AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
    </VirtualHost>

Step 4: Start Uguu

Start the Uguu server by running the following command:

./start_server.pl

This will start the Uguu server on port 5000. You can access the website by going to http://localhost:5000 in your web browser.

If you want to start the server in the background, use the following command instead:

./start_server.pl -d start

To stop the server, run:

./start_server.pl stop

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured Uguu on NetBSD. You can now start uploading and sharing files with others using your own file-sharing service.

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!
