Installing Golinks on NetBSD

This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Golinks on a NetBSD system.

Prerequisites

Before you start, make sure you have the following prerequisites:

• A NetBSD system
• Git installed on your system
• Go programming language installed on your system

Installing Golinks

1. Clone the Golinks repository from golinks">https://git.mills.io/prologic/golinks using the following command:

git clone https://git.mills.io/prologic/golinks.git

2. Once the cloning process is complete, navigate to the golinks directory using the following command:

cd golinks

3. Build the Golinks binary using the following command:

go build

4. After the build process is complete, you can run Golinks using the following command:

./golinks

Configuring Golinks

1. Create a configuration file for Golinks using the following command:

cp example.json config.json

2. Edit the config.json file to add your links.

Running Golinks on System Startup

To run Golinks on system startup, you can create a system service file:

1. Create a Golinks service file in /etc/rc.d/ using the following command:

vi /etc/rc.d/golinks.sh

2. Add the following lines to the golinks.sh file:

#!/bin/sh

case "$1" in
    start)
        /path/to/golinks &
        ;;
    stop)
        killall golinks
        ;;
    *)
        echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop}"
        exit 1
        ;;
esac

3. Make the golinks.sh file executable using the following command:

chmod +x /etc/rc.d/golinks.sh

4. Add the Golinks service to the system startup using the following command:

echo golinks=YES >> /etc/rc.conf

Conclusion

You have successfully installed and configured Golinks on your NetBSD system. You can now use Golinks to easily access your favorite links.

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!
