How to Install Wreeto on NetBSD

Wreeto is an open-source note-taking application for organizing your notes, ideas, and to-do lists. This tutorial will guide you through the installation process of Wreeto on NetBSD.

Prerequisites

Before you begin the installation process, you need to have the following:

• A server running NetBSD
• Root access to the server
• A web browser
• Basic knowledge of the command line interface on NetBSD

Installation

Step 1: Update Software Packages

Before installing Wreeto, it's important to ensure that your system is up-to-date. Run the following command to update your software packages:

pkgin update

Step 2: Install Dependencies

Wreeto requires Node.js and Git to be installed on your NetBSD server. Run the following command to install the required dependencies:

pkgin install nodejs git

Step 3: Download Wreeto

Now that you have installed the dependencies, it's time to download Wreeto. Run the following command to clone the Wreeto repository from GitHub:

git clone https://github.com/christian-draeger/wreeto.git

This will create a wreeto directory in your current working directory.

Step 4: Install Wreeto

Change into the wreeto directory and run the following command to install Wreeto:

npm install

This will install all the necessary packages required by Wreeto.

Step 5: Configure Wreeto

Wreeto requires a configuration file, config.json, to be created before it can be run. Use a text editor of your choice and create the config.json file in the wreeto directory with the following contents:

{
  "server": {
    "host": "localhost",
    "port": 3000
  },
  "session": {
    "secret": "my_secret"
  },
  "database": {
    "url": "mongodb://localhost:27017/wreeto"
  },
  "googleAuth": {
    "clientID": "google_client_id",
    "clientSecret": "google_client_secret"
  }
}

Replace my_secret, google_client_id, and google_client_secret with appropriate values. You can obtain the clientID and clientSecret from the Google Developers Console.

Step 6: Start Wreeto

Run the following command to start Wreeto:

npm start

Open your web browser and go to http://localhost:3000 to access Wreeto.
