Buddycloud is a decentralised social networking platform that enables you to have your own social network server. Let's take a look at how you can install Buddycloud on OpenBSD.
Before we get started, you will need to ensure you have the following:
Follow these steps to install Buddycloud on OpenBSD:
Open the Terminal on your OpenBSD server.
Update the package list:
sudo pkg_add -vI gnupg
sudo pkg_add -vI buddycloud
sudo /usr/local/bin/bc-useradd
You will be prompted to enter an ID for the user, the name of the user, and the password for the user.
Start Buddycloud:
sudo /etc/rc.d/buddycloud start
sudo /etc/rc.d/buddycloud status
If everything is running correctly, you should see a message indicating that Buddycloud is running.
Now that Buddycloud is installed, you can configure it to suit your needs. You can find the configuration file at /etc/buddycloud/buddycloud.cfg.
It is recommended that you take some time to familiarise yourself with the configuration options and set them to meet your specific requirements.
That's it! You have successfully installed Buddycloud on your OpenBSD server. You can now create your own social network and share it with your friends and family. Enjoy!
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!
