AmIUnique is a web-based tool that checks the uniqueness of browser configurations to protect user privacy. In this tutorial, we will be installing AmIUnique on OpenBSD.
Before installing AmIUnique, we need to install the following dependencies:
pkg_add node
To download AmIUnique, we need to use git. If git is not installed on your system, install it using the following command:
pkg_add git
Once git is installed, clone the AmIUnique repository using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/DIVERSIFY-project/AmIUnique.git
Once the repository is cloned to your system, navigate to the AmIUnique directory using the following command:
cd AmIUnique/
Install the required node modules using the following command:
npm install
AmIUnique uses a configuration file to define the server configuration. To configure the server, create a new configuration file by copying the example configuration file:
cp config/default.json config/production.json
Open the configuration file using your favorite text editor:
vi config/production.json
Change the following settings:
port variable to the port you would like the AmIUnique server to listen on. By default, it is set to 3000.baseUrl variable to the URL where AmIUnique is hosted. By default, it is set to http://localhost:3000.mongoUrl variable to the MongoDB connection URL. By default, it is set to mongodb://localhost/amiunique.To start the AmIUnique server, use the following command:
npm start
This will start the server on the port specified in the configuration file.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install AmIUnique on OpenBSD. You can now use AmIUnique to protect your user's privacy by detecting unique browser configurations.
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!
