# Freedive
|

Dive into FreeBSD with `Freedive`!
|

|
||||
Dive into FreeBSD
|
||||
Freedive emerges as an innovative standalone tool for FreeBSD, offering a graphical user interface (GUI) that revolutionizes the way systems are managed, enabling both newcomers and experienced users to administer their FreeBSD installations with ease. This GUI, accessible through a mobile-friendly web interface, democratizes the use of FreeBSD by allowing beginners to engage with the operating system without the need to delve into the complexities of the command-line shell. Designed with responsiveness in mind, Freedive's interface adapts seamlessly to various screen sizes, ensuring that system administrators can perform essential tasks from virtually any device, be it a smartphone, tablet, or desktop. The intuitive design of Freedive's web interface lowers the entry barrier for managing FreeBSD systems, making it more approachable for users who may not be familiar with Unix-like environments. By providing a full spectrum of system management capabilities through its GUI, Freedive empowers users to perform tasks ranging from user account management to service configuration, all without writing a single line of shell code. Freedive stands as a testament to the versatility of FreeBSD, extending its appeal beyond the traditional tech-savvy audience to a broader range of users who can now leverage the power of FreeBSD with the convenience of a modern web-based interface.

|
||||
## Quick Steps
|
||||
### Binaries
|
||||
For a quick test you can just use the generated FreeBSD pkgs to try Freedive:
|
||||
* [freedive-0.1.0.pkg](https://cdn.gyptazy.ch/files/amd64/freebsd/freedive/freedive-0.1.0.pkg) [hosted at gyptazy.ch]
|
||||
|
||||
- `git clone https://brew.bsd.cafe/hiway/freedive.git`
|
||||
- `cd freedive`
|
||||
### Build & Deploy
|
||||
#### Requirements
|
||||
Building Freedive requires some additional packages like gmake, gcc and especially elixir (>= 1.16.0). This also requires you to switch to the latest ports/pkgs branch instead of the quarterly.
|
||||
|
||||
Install dependencies:
|
||||
This is not needed when you are already using the `latest` repository. However, switching to the latest ports/pkgs branch can be easily done with the following steps:
|
||||
```
|
||||
mkdir -p /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos
|
||||
echo "FreeBSD: { url: \"pkg+http://pkg.freebsd.org/\${ABI}/latest\" }" > /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf
|
||||
pkg -y upgrade -f
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
- `pkg install -U -y inotify-tools doas`
|
||||
If you are fully running on pkg instead of ports you need to copy a file which is referenced and used by Freedive. If you have
|
||||
ports active on your system, this step can be skipped - if not, simply run the following commands:
|
||||
```
|
||||
mkdir -p /usr/ports/Keywords/
|
||||
curl -O /usr/ports/Keywords/ https://raw.githubusercontent.com/freebsd/freebsd-ports/main/Keywords/sample.ucl
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Setup your own account to run commands as root without password:
|
||||
You may also want to setup your own doas account (passwordless) by running:
|
||||
```
|
||||
echo "permit nopass <USERNAME> as root" >> /usr/local/etc/doas.conf
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
- `echo "permit nopass <USERNAME> as root" >> /usr/local/etc/doas.conf`
|
||||
Within the last step, the needed dependencies can be installed from the pkg repository:
|
||||
```
|
||||
pkg install git inotify-tools gmake elixir gcc doas
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Start Freedive:
|
||||
#### Building
|
||||
Freedive can be simply build by running the following commands:
|
||||
```
|
||||
pkg install -y git inotify-tools gmake elixir gcc doas
|
||||
git clone https://brew.bsd.cafe/hiway/freedive.git
|
||||
mix setup
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
* Run `mix setup` to install and setup dependencies
|
||||
* Start Freedive with `mix phx.server` or inside IEx with `iex -S mix phx.server`
|
||||
#### Packaging
|
||||
If you also want to create and build a distributable `.pkg` file, simply run the following command afterwards:
|
||||
```
|
||||
mix package
|
||||
```
|
||||
This creates you the file `freedive-0.1.0.pkg` within your build directory.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Usage (compile)
|
||||
After building, you can directly start Freedive. Freedive can be started by running `mix` or inside `IEx` by executing:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
mix phx.server
|
||||
or
|
||||
iex -S mix phx.server
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Now you can visit [`localhost:4000`](http://localhost:4000) from your browser.
|
||||
|
||||
> Registering accounts via browser is enabled in dev envronment.
|
||||
|
||||
Visit [/users/register](http://localhost:4000/users/register) to create an account.
|
||||
|
||||
Then visit [/dev/mailbox](http://localhost:4000/dev/mailbox) to confirm the account.
|
||||
|
||||
Now you can ue these credentials to log in and explore Freedive.

|
||||
|
||||
### Usage (pkg)
|
||||
Another solution directly leads into using the built package. This can be installed by running:
|
||||
|
||||
### Deploy
|
||||
```
|
||||
pkg install -U -y freedive-0.1.0.pkg
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Create FreeBSD package:
|
||||
Afterwards, the configuration should be adjusted in `/usr/local/etc/freedive/freedive.env` where the following settings should be defined:
|
||||
|
||||
- `mix package`
|
||||
|
||||
Copy package to target machine:
|
||||
|
||||
- `scp freedive-0.1.0.pkg hostname:`
|
||||
|
||||
SSH to the tagret machine,
|
||||
use `doas -S` (or `sudo -s`) if required
|
||||
to gain admin privileges and then run:
|
||||
|
||||
- `pkg install -U -y freedive-0.1.0.pkg`
|
||||
|
||||
Configure Freedive
|
||||
|
||||
- `$EDITOR /usr/local/etc/freedive/freedive.env`
|
||||
|
||||
Set preferences in freedive.env
|
||||
|
||||
- `HOST="hostname"`
|
||||
- `BIND="ip-to-bind"`
|
||||
- `PORT=3443`
|
||||
```
|
||||
HOST="hostname"
|
||||
BIND="ip-to-bind"
|
||||
PORT=3443
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Ensure that the host is set to whatever hostname you'll use
|
||||
to access the service from browser.
