OmniOS: Installation of HTTPi
Configuring a local lightweight webserver for various purposes
This article is part of a series focused on the building and setup of a home-NAS based on ZFS and OmniOS. The index is located here: An OmniOS ZFS Fileserver.
I needed a local webserver to provide various info about the server and to be able to issue commands without logging in via SSH: for example I wanted to load data from external devices (Arduino-based) into a SQLite3 database located on the server, or I wanted to query another SQLite3 database and output the results as webpage (for example, to monitor the internal temperatures and status of the disks).
I am used to write Perl scripts, therefore the server HTTPi was my first choice: 10 KB in memory and ability to run directly Perl code.
The steps I followed are now listed.
$ wget http://www.floodgap.com/httpi/httpi-1.7.1.tar.gz
$ mkdir httpi
$ cd httpi
$ tar xf httpi-1.7.1.tar.gz
$ cd httpi-1.7.1
$ pfexec mkdir /var/httpi
$ pfexec groupadd -g 404 httpi
$ pfexec useradd -g 404 -u 404 -d /var/httpi -s /bin/false httpi
$ pfexec chown httpi:httpi /var/httpi/
$ pfexec zfs create -o aclinherit=passthrough-x -o aclmode=passthrough tank/home/httpi
$ pfexec chown httpi:httpi /tank/home/httpi
$ pfexec chmod g+rwx /tank/home/httpi
$ pfexec zfs set sharesmb=on tank/home/httpi
$ pfexec perl configure.demonic
$ mkdir httpi
$ cd httpi
$ tar xf httpi-1.7.1.tar.gz
$ cd httpi-1.7.1
$ pfexec mkdir /var/httpi
$ pfexec groupadd -g 404 httpi
$ pfexec useradd -g 404 -u 404 -d /var/httpi -s /bin/false httpi
$ pfexec chown httpi:httpi /var/httpi/
$ pfexec zfs create -o aclinherit=passthrough-x -o aclmode=passthrough tank/home/httpi
$ pfexec chown httpi:httpi /tank/home/httpi
$ pfexec chmod g+rwx /tank/home/httpi
$ pfexec zfs set sharesmb=on tank/home/httpi
$ pfexec perl configure.demonic
Then I configured the actual HTTPi server in demonic mode:
I used the attached SMF configuration, generated from http://sgpit.com/smf/ , to load the SMF service.
