theonionbox on freebsd

[senovr]

Hi, I am running tor node on the freebsd server. I tried your extension, and suprisingly (for me) it still works on BSD. The only thing i curretly stuck on is making it running as a daemon or start automatically during FreeBSD boot. Can you give some hints, or ( preferrably) update the wiki ?

Hi! Thanks for that feedback. I'm about to set up a FreeBSD server to test the Box & create the necessary scripts to start it automatically. Might yet need some time to be finished. Best regards, Ralph

Hi @senovr! I've just released v3.1 of The Box that should bring everything you need to run it as a service on FreeBSD. You may as well check the dedicated wiki page for further details of how to set this up. I would be happy to get a feedback if you gave it a try - good or bad!

Best regards, Ralph

Hi Ralph,

tried your script, works for me. Few difficulties I have to go through:

1. Python-related. lang/python need to be installed for symlink to work correctly. pkg install lang/python.

2. tzsetup For some reasons there is an error, requiring correct timezone.

After running tzsetup and pointing the freebsd to correct tz- all working like charm. Thank you very much! Sergey. p.s. one question, just because of curuoisty- in the tor network section, it seems that theonionbox can not reach onionnooo data ( pls see below). Am i need to change something in tor or theonionbox config files to make this work? Network Status No Onionoo Network data to display.

Hi Sergey!

Thanks for your feedback & the great info that you are able to run The Box on FreeBSD. To compensate for the timezone issue you discovered I added a check that ensures that tz is adequately set or the operator gets a message to run tzsetup. The notice you see regarding 'Onionoo Network data' doesn't harm. It's related to the fact that it takes some time to read this data & process it - which is done as a background job. After you reloaded the page (hit F5 once or more as being told) you should get a display of the data - if there is data available from the onionoo servers.

Best regards & thanks again for using The Onion Box,

Ralph
