How to Install Temboz on FreeBSD Latest

In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation of Temboz on FreeBSD Latest. Temboz is a web-based file manager that allows users to manage files and directories on a server through a web browser.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, ensure that your FreeBSD system is up to date and you have administrator privileges (root access).

You also need to have the following packages installed on your FreeBSD system:

  • git
  • npm
  • node

If you don't have these packages installed, you can install them using the following command:

pkg install git npm node

Step 1: Clone the Temboz Repo

To get started, we need to clone the Temboz repository from GitHub with the following command:

git clone https://github.com/fazalmajid/temboz.git

This command will create a new directory named temboz in the current working directory and download the necessary files from the repository.

Step 2: Install Temboz Dependencies

Navigate to the temboz directory by running the following command:

cd temboz

To install Temboz dependencies, run the following command:

npm install

This command will install all the necessary packages required by Temboz.

Step 3: Configure Temboz

In this step, we need to configure Temboz with our desired settings. Temboz uses a configuration file named config.json. You can copy the sample configuration file to config.json by running the following command:

cp config.sample.json config.json

Next, open the config.json file using a command-line text editor of your choice. For this tutorial, we will be using nano, but you can use any text editor you are comfortable with.

nano config.json

In the config.json file, you can configure the following settings:

  • port: The port number on which Temboz will listen.
  • root: The root directory of the file system that Temboz will manage.
  • baseURL: The base URL of the Temboz server, e.g., http://localhost.

By default, Temboz listens on port 3000 and the root directory is set to the current working directory. You can edit these settings as required.

Save and close the config.json file when you are done.

Step 4: Start Temboz

To start temboz, run the following command:

npm start

This command will start Temboz and output the following message:

Server running at http://localhost:[port]/

Replace [port] with the actual port number you set in the config.json file.

You can now access Temboz by opening your web browser and navigating to the URL displayed in the terminal log.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured Temboz on FreeBSD Latest. You can now use it to manage files and directories on your server.
