Notes on Running MediaGoblin on OpenBSD
We run on the latest (for a tiny bit) OpenBSD version.
$ uname -a OpenBSD XXX 5.0 GENERIC#53 amd64
Requirements
All the necessary dependencies are already available as packages as described in the documentation.
$ sudo pkg_add mongodb py-virtualenv py-lxml py-Imaging
Video support however seems to have more requirements than the default install. The upload fails without them.
$ sudo pkg_add py-gtk2 py-gstreamer gstreamer-ffmpeg gstreamer-plugins-bad gstreamer-plugins-good
Maybe the media-handling code should be more resilient to missing libraries?
Running
$ sudo useradd -u <UID> -g =uid -c "MediaGoblin" -d //path/to/mediagoblin/ -s /sbin/nologin _mediagoblin $ cd /path/to/mediagoblin $ sudo chown -R _mediagoblin:_mediagoblin . $ HOME=`pwd` sudo -u _mediagoblin ./lazyserver.sh --server-name=broadcast &
