How to Install XBackBone on NetBSD

XBackBone is an open-source web-based file manager that allows users to manage files and folders on their server. It provides an intuitive and easy-to-use interface for uploading, downloading, and editing files.

This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing XBackBone on NetBSD.

Prerequisites

• A server with NetBSD installed.
• Root access to the server.
• Basic knowledge of the NetBSD operating system and command line.

Step 1: Installing Dependencies

Before we can install XBackBone, we need to install its dependencies. Run the following command as root to install them:

# pkgin update
# pkgin install php74-php-fpm php74-mysqli php74-exif git composer

Step 2: Cloning XBackBone from Github

Next, we need to clone the XBackBone repository from Github. Run the following command to clone the repository:

# cd /usr/local/www 
# git clone https://github.com/fengyuanchen/xbackbone.git

Step 3: Installing XBackBone

After cloning the repository, we need to install XBackBone. Run the following command to install XBackBone:

# cd xbackbone
# composer install

Step 4: Configuring XBackBone

Next, we need to configure XBackBone. We will create a new configuration file for XBackBone using the following command:

# cp -p config/autoload/local.php.dist config/autoload/local.php

Then, open the local.php file with a text editor and make the following changes:

return [
    'database' => [
        'adapter' => 'Mysqli',
        'database' => 'xbackbone_db',
        'username' => 'username',
        'password' => 'password',
        'hostname' => 'localhost',
    ],
];

Make sure to replace "xbackbone_db", "username", and "password" with your own values.

Step 5: Configuring PHP-FPM

We need to configure the PHP-FPM FastCGI process manager to run XBackBone. Run the following command to open the configuration file:

# vi /usr/pkg/etc/php74/php-fpm.d/www.conf

Make the following changes to the file:

[www]
listen = /var/run/php-fpm.sock
listen.owner = www
listen.group = www
user = www
group = www
pm = dynamic
pm.max_children = 5
pm.start_servers = 2
pm.min_spare_servers = 1
pm.max_spare_servers = 3

Save and exit the file.

Step 6: Starting PHP-FPM

After configuring PHP-FPM, we need to start the service. Run the following command to start PHP-FPM:

# rcctl start php74_fpm

Step 7: Starting XBackBone

Finally, we can start XBackBone. Run the following command to start XBackBone:

# php74 /usr/local/www/xbackbone/bin/xbackbone.php serve --port=8080

Replace "8080" with your preferred port number.

Step 8: Accessing XBackBone

Now that XBackBone is running, you can access it from your web browser by entering the server's IP address followed by the port number you specified earlier. For example:

http://192.168.1.100:8080

You should see the XBackBone login page. By default, the username is "admin" and the password is "admin".

Congratulations! You have successfully installed XBackBone on NetBSD. You can now start managing your server's files and folders with XBackBone.

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!
