  • Memory: At least 1GB of RAM
  • CPU: At least 1 CPU Core

Installation

Install PostgreSQL and ZeroTier​

First, make sure PostgreSQL and ZeroTier are installed and configured on your FreeBSD server.

pkg update
pkg install zerotier protobuf curl git node npm rust vips
pkg install postgresql15-server postgresql15-contrib
sysrc postgresql_enable=yes
service postgresql initdb
service postgresql start

# start zerotier as deamon
zerotier-one -d

Build Prisma Binary​

git clone https://github.com/prisma/prisma-engines.git
cd prisma-engines

# Build all workspace binaries
cargo build --release

# Set environment variables
setenv PRISMA_CLI_QUERY_ENGINE_TYPE "binary"
setenv PRISMA_QUERY_ENGINE_BINARY "/root/prisma-engines/target/release/query-engine"
setenv PRISMA_FMT_BINARY "/root/prisma-engines/target/release/prisma-fmt"
setenv PRISMA_SCHEMA_ENGINE_BINARY "/root/prisma-engines/target/release/schema-engine"

# Rename libquery_engine.so to libquery_engine.node
mv /root/prisma-engines/target/release/libquery_engine.so ./target/release/libquery_engine.node

# set environment variable
setenv PRISMA_QUERY_ENGINE_LIBRARY /root/prisma-engines/target/release/libquery_engine.node

Setup Ztnet​

  1. Clone the Ztnet repository:

    git clone https://github.com/sinamics/ztnet.git

  2. Navigate into the directory:

    cd ztnet

  3. Checkout latest version:

    Latest version can be found here: https://github.com/sinamics/ztnet/releases

    git checkout tags/vx.x.x

  4. Install the Node.js dependencies:

    npm install

  5. Create a .env file in the root directory and populate it with the necessary environment variables. Make sure these match what you've set up in your PostgreSQL database.

    DATABASE_URL=postgresql://postgres:postgres@localhost:5432/ztnet?schema=public
    ZT_ADDR=http://127.0.0.1:9993
    NEXT_PUBLIC_SITE_NAME=ZTnet
    NEXTAUTH_URL="http://ZTNET_Controller_Web_UI_IP_ADDRESS:3000"
    NEXTAUTH_SECRET="random_secret"

  6. Populate the PostgreSQL database with the necessary tables:

    npx prisma migrate deploy
    npx prisma db seed

  7. Build Next.js production:

    npm run build
    cp -r .next/static .next/standalone/.next/ && cp -r public .next/standalone/

  8. Copy mkworld binary:

    cp ztnodeid/build/freebsd_amd64/ztmkworld /usr/local/bin/ztmkworld

  9. Run server:

    node .next/standalone/server.js
