How to Install WebODF on NetBSD

WebODF is an open-source JavaScript library for displaying, editing and creating office documents in your web browser. In this tutorial, we will provide step-by-step instructions on how to install WebODF on NetBSD.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure that you have a NetBSD machine with the following requirements met:

• An installed version of Apache web server
• PHP 7 or higher
• Git
• A web browser

Installation Process

1. Clone the WebODF repository by running the following command in your terminal:

   git clone https://github.com/kogmbh/WebODF.git
   

2. Move the contents of the cloned repository to your Apache web server directory. By default, the directory is located at /usr/pkg/share/httpd/htdocs/.

   sudo mv WebODF/* /usr/pkgshare/httpd/htdocs/
   

3. Navigate to the web server directory.

   cd /usr/pkg/share/httpd/htdocs/
   

4. Rename the samples directory to webodf.

   mv samples webodf
   

5. Modify webodf/demoeditor.html to reference the correct paths.

   Change: <script data-main="../../../samples/demoeditor" src="../../dojo/dojo.js"></script>
   To: <script data-main="./samples/demoeditor" src="../dojo/dojo.js"></script>
   

6. Navigate to your NetBSD machine's IP address in your web browser.

   http://<IP-address>/webodf/demoeditor.html
   

Congratulations! You have successfully installed WebODF on NetBSD. You can now use the demo editor to create and edit office documents in your web browser.

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!
