## Quick Steps ## 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]
### Build & Deploy ### Get pre-built package
#### 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.
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: Try Freedive on FreeBSD 14.0-RELEASE and newer:
``` * amd64: [freedive-0.1.0.pkg](https://cdn.gyptazy.ch/files/amd64/freebsd/freedive/freedive-0.1.0.pkg) [hosted at gyptazy.ch]
mkdir -p /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos * arm64: [freedive-0.1.0_arm64.pkg](https://cdn.gyptazy.ch/files/arm64/freebsd/freedive/freedive-0.1.0_arm64.pkg) [hosted at gyptazy.ch]
echo "FreeBSD: { url: \"pkg+http://pkg.freebsd.org/\${ABI}/latest\" }" > /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf
pkg -y upgrade -f
```
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
```
You may also want to setup your own doas account (passwordless) by running:
```
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
```
#### 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
```
#### 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) ### Install package
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.

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: Another solution directly leads into using the built package. This can be installed by running:

## Development
### Requirements
If you have `ports` active on your system, this step can be skipped.
If you have not installed `ports` (the `/usr/ports` directory is missing)
then you need to copy a file which is referenced and used
by Freedive when building its own package.
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
```
You also want to setup your own doas account (passwordless) by running:
```
echo "permit nopass <USERNAME> as root" >> /usr/local/etc/doas.conf
```
Freedive will only function as expected if `doas` is installed
and configured to allow the user running the server
to execute commands as root without requiring a password.
### Development Environment
Install build tools and depedencies
```
pkg install -y ca_root_nss doas elixir gcc git gmake inotify-tools
```
Get code
```
git clone https://brew.bsd.cafe/hiway/freedive.git
cd freedive
```
Setup dev environment
```
mix setup
```
> It is safe to ignore warning about `mix_freebsd_pkg` requiring Elixir 1.6, it will go away
> when Elixir 1.6 becomes available in quarterly packages.
### Development Server
Freedive dev server 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.
> Note:
> Registering accounts via browser is enabled in dev environment.
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.
### Packaging
Create and build a distributable `.pkg` file that can be installed on target machines.
Run the following command in `freedive` directory:
```
mix package
```
This creates the file `freedive-0.x.x.pkg` within your project directory.
