Wayback is a powerful web archiving tool that allows you to capture and preserve online content for future reference. Installing Wayback on NetBSD is a straightforward process that can be completed in a few simple steps. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to install Wayback on NetBSD.
Before you can install and run Wayback on NetBSD, you will need to ensure that you have the following prerequisites installed:
The first step in installing Wayback on NetBSD is to clone the Wayback repository from GitHub. To do this, open a terminal window and enter the following command:
git clone https://github.com/iipc/warcbase.git
This will create a local copy of the Wayback repository on your NetBSD machine.
Once you have cloned the Wayback repository, navigate to the wayback directory by entering the following command:
cd warcbase/wayback
Next, build Wayback by running the following command:
./sbt assembly
This command will compile the Wayback source code and create an executable jar file.
Before you can run Wayback, you will need to configure it by editing the wayback.properties file. Navigate to the conf directory by running the following command:
cd ../conf
Open the wayback.properties file in a text editor and configure the settings according to your needs. You will need to set the following properties:
wayback.data.dir: This property sets the directory where Wayback will store its data.wayback.index.dir: This property sets the directory where Wayback will store its index files.Save the wayback.properties file when you are done.
Now that Wayback is built and configured, you can start it by running the following command:
cd ../wayback
java -jar target/scala-2.12/wayback-assembly-0.9.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
This command will start the Wayback server, which will listen for requests on port 8080. Open a web browser and go to http://localhost:8080/wayback to verify that Wayback is running properly.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Wayback on NetBSD. You can now use this powerful web archiving tool to capture and preserve online content for future reference. Remember to regularly back up your Wayback data to ensure that it is safe and secure.
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!
