How to Install ShinobiCE on FreeBSD Latest

ShinobiCE is a free, open-source software that lets you set up and manage a security camera system. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the process of installing ShinobiCE on FreeBSD Latest.

Step 1 - Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure that your FreeBSD system is up-to-date and has the following prerequisites installed:

• Node.js
• MySQL
• Nginx or other web server of your choice

Step 2 - Clone the ShinobiCE repository

Next, we need to clone the ShinobiCE repository. To do this, open a terminal window and run the following command:

git clone https://gitlab.com/Shinobi-Systems/ShinobiCE.git

This will create a new directory called "ShinobiCE" containing the ShinobiCE source code.

Step 3 - Install Dependencies

In this step, we need to install the dependencies required by the ShinobiCE.

To do that, navigate to the cloned directory and run the following command:

npm install --unsafe-perm

This will install all the required dependencies.

Step 4 - Configure MySQL

In this step, we need to configure MySQL so that ShinobiCE can use it.

First, log in to your MySQL server and create a new database for ShinobiCE.

mysql -u root -p

CREATE DATABASE shinobi;

Next, create a new user for ShinobiCE and grant it privileges to the ShinobiCE database.

CREATE USER 'shinobi'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON shinobi.* TO 'shinobi'@'localhost' WITH GRANT OPTION;

FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

exit;

Step 5 - Configure ShinobiCE

In this step, we will configure ShinobiCE to use the MySQL database we just created.

Navigate to the ShinobiCE directory and open the conf.json file.

cd ShinobiCE

nano conf.json

Update the values in the database section to match your MySQL configuration.

"database": {
    "type": "mysql",
    "host": "localhost",
    "user": "shinobi",
    "password": "password",
    "database": "shinobi"
},

Save the file and exit.

Step 6 - Start ShinobiCE

In this step, we will start the ShinobiCE server.

To do this, run the following command:

npm start

This will start the ShinobiCE server on port 8080.

Step 7 - Configure Nginx

In this step, we will configure Nginx to act as a reverse proxy for the ShinobiCE server.

Create a new server block in your Nginx configuration file and add the following lines:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name example.com;

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://localhost:8080;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    }
}

Replace example.com with your domain name or IP address.

Save the file and exit.

Step 8 - Access ShinobiCE

ShinobiCE is now installed and running. To access it, open your web browser and go to your domain name or IP address.

http://example.com

You will be prompted to create a new account and log in. Once you do, you can start adding cameras and configuring your security camera system.

That's it! You have successfully installed ShinobiCE on FreeBSD Latest.
