How to install Goeland on NetBSD

Goeland is an open-source HTTP server written in Go. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing it on NetBSD.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure that you have the following:

• NetBSD installation
• Git installed on your system
• Go installed on your system

Step 1: Clone the Goeland Repository

The first step in installing Goeland is to clone the repository from GitHub.

Run the following command to clone the repository:

$ git clone https://github.com/slurdge/goeland.git

Step 2: Build Goeland

After cloning the repository, navigate into the goeland directory:

$ cd goeland

Next, build the source code with the following command:

$ go build

This will create a binary file called goeland in the goeland directory.

Step 3: Configure Goeland

Before running the server, you need to configure it.

Create a configuration file named goeland.yml in the goeland directory with the following contents:

address: ":8000"
root_dir: "/path/to/your/web/root"

This configuration sets the address of the server to :8000 and the root directory to the path where your website is located.

Step 4: Run Goeland

Now that you have built and configured Goeland, you can run it by running the following command in the goeland directory:

$ ./goeland -config goeland.yml

This will start the server on the specified address in the configuration file.

Step 5: Access your website

Goeland is now running and serving your website. You can access it by opening a web browser and navigating to the address you specified in the configuration file.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured Goeland on NetBSD.
