Support #647

This is a guide on installing JSbin on FreeBSD.
*NOTE*: -After working on getting JSbin to install on FreeBSD for many hours, I was unable to get it working.-
*UPDATE*: I found that JSbin works on node v0.10, the default nodejs version for FreeBSD is v0.12. Once I installed the older version JSbin installed correctly.
h2. Prepare the system
* Make sure the system is up to date:
<pre>
pkg update && pkg upgrade
</pre>
* Install portmaster
<pre>
pkg install portmaster
pkg2ng
</pre>
* Install node010 and npm from the ports tree:
<pre>
portmaster www/node010 www/npm
</pre>
*NOTE*: Make sure to check [X]node010 when configuring the npm port
h2. Install JSbin with npm
* Install JSbin using npm:
<pre>
npm install -g --sqlite=/usr/local jsbin
</pre>
* Create a new config file and edit it as necessary:
<pre>
cd /usr/local/lib/node_modules/jsbin
cp config.default.json config.local.json
</pre>
* Test JSbin in development mode:
<pre>
jsbin
</pre>
* Go to http://localhost:3000 in a web browser
h2. Install JSbin from GitHub
* Create a working source directory:
<pre>
mkdir /usr/local/src && cd /usr/local/src
</pre>
* Clone JSbin from GitHub:
<pre>
git clone https://github.com/remy/jsbin.git
cd jsbin
</pre>
* Install grunt-cli globally using npm:
<pre>
npm install -g grunt-cli
</pre>
* Then install the developer dependencies:
<pre>
npm install -g --sqlite=/usr/local --dev
</pre>
h2. Running JSbin with PM2
* Install pm2 globally:
<pre>
npm install -g pm2
</pre>
* Add a jsbin user to separate privileges:
<pre>
pw add user -n jsbin -m -d /usr/local/lib/node_modules/jsbin -s /bin/sh -c "JSbin"
</pre>
* Change the ownership of the global jsbin folder to the jsbin user:
<pre>
chown -R jsbin /usr/local/lib/node_modules/jsbin
</pre>
* Switch to the jsbin user:
<pre>
su - jsbin
</pre>
* Start jsbin using pm2:
<pre>
pm2 start bin/jsbin
</pre>
h2. JSbin FreeBSD Boot Script
* Create a jsbin FreeBSD init script:
<pre>
vi /usr/local/etc/rc.d/jsbin
</pre>
#* and add the following
<pre>
#!/bin/sh
# PROVIDE: jsbin
# KEYWORD: shutdown
. /etc/rc.subr
name="pm2"
start_cmd="${name}_start"
stop_cmd="${name}_stop"
pm2_start() {
echo "pm2 starting"
su - jsbin -c "/usr/local/bin/pm2 start /usr/local/lib/node_modules/jsbin/bin/jsbin; exit"
}
pm2_stop() {
echo "pm2 stopping"
su - jsbin -c "/usr/local/bin/pm2 kill; exit"
}
run_rc_command "$1"
</pre>
* And make it executable:
<pre>
chmod +x /usr/local/etc/rc.d/jsbin
</pre>
* Start and enable jsbin at boot
<pre>
echo 'jsbin_enable="YES"' >> /etc/rc.conf
service jsbin start
</pre>
