Freenet on FreeBSD 6.x and 7.x (with(out) X )
This will tell you the simple steps to install Freenet 0.7 on FreeBSD 6.1 without XManually
You will work as the root user in the entire process.
Make sure you understand everything before you work as root.
Package requirement
You need to install wget (for update.sh) and a jvm.It seems that native jdk 1.5 (jdk-1.5.0p3_6) from ports (/usr/ports/java/jdk15) doesn't work. I recommend to use diablo jdk from http://www.freebsdfoundation.org/downloads/java.shtml.
Create a new user for Freenet
adduser freenet
cd /usr/home/freenet
cd /usr/home/freenet
Download Freenet
fetch http://downloads.freenetproject.org/alpha/installer/selfextractpack.jar
Install Freenet
DISPLAY="" java -jar selfextractpack.jar
Install the port /usr/ports/misc/compat4x/
(we need the libs)cd /usr/ports/misc/compat4x/
make install
cd /usr/home/freenet/freenet
make install
cd /usr/home/freenet/freenet
Add the FreeBSD wrapper
fetch http://wrapper.tanukisoftware.org/download/3.2.0/wrapper-freebsd-x86-32-3.2.0.tar.gz
tar xzf wrapper-freebsd-x86-32-3.2.0.tar.gz
cp wrapper-freebsd-x86-32-3.2.0/bin/wrapper /usr/home/freenet/freenet/bin/wrapper-freebsd-x86-32
tar xzf wrapper-freebsd-x86-32-3.2.0.tar.gz
cp wrapper-freebsd-x86-32-3.2.0/bin/wrapper /usr/home/freenet/freenet/bin/wrapper-freebsd-x86-32
Add Freenet and compat4x to your startup scripts
ln -s /usr/home/freenet/freenet/run.sh /usr/local/etc/rc.d/freenet.sh
Add Freenet and compat4x to the rc.conf
vi /etc/rc.conf
and add
compat4x_enable="YES"
Freenet_enable="YES"
Freenet_enable="YES"
to the end of the file
Start as the freenet user
Make setuid to the new user:Edit the file run.sh (if you already editing the run.sh file, skip this step).
vi run.sh
and change the line
# RUN_AS_USER
to:
RUN_AS_USER=freenet
Then the node will run in its own user, and it will start when your computer starts.
Starting Freenet
You can start it now by:/usr/local/etc/rc.d/freenet.sh start
