Kinto is my favorite NoSql Database option since it is self hosted and has all the features I need. Here’s what I had to do to get it working on my BSD server.

Kinto On BSD

First install Postgres-server

pkg install  postgresql96-server-9.6.10       
# install dependencies 
pkg install libffi openssl pkg-config 

Now, create the Kinto DB

# su postgres
postgres=# CREATE DATABASE kinto WITH ENCODING UTF8;

postgres=# ALTER DATABASE kinto SET TIMEZONE TO UTC;
postgres=# CREATE USER kinto WITH PASSWORD 'ihopeyourpasswordisstrongerthanthis';
postgres=# GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE kinto TO kinto;

exit

Create a Virtualenv

# Not needed just recommended.
pip install virtualenv
virtualenv -p python3 env/
source env/bin/activate

Install Kinto

pip install kinto
kinto init
# this will create /config/kinto.ini
# update this file with your postgres config
kinto migrate
kinto start

And Voilla, it’s that simple. If you can run BSD, you can host your own awesome NoSql Database. #ownyourdata
