In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Libervia on Alpine Linux Latest. Libervia is a web interface for Salut à Toi, a multi-front-end XMPP client. It is designed to be a powerful and customizable tool for managing your XMPP services.
Before we get started, you need to have the following requirements:
The first thing we need to do is update our package manager to get the latest versions of packages. We can do this by running the command:
sudo apk update
We need to install the dependencies required by Libervia before we can install it. Run the following command to install these dependencies:
sudo apk add python3 py3-setuptools py3-wheel py3-lxml py3-pyasn1 py3-pip libjpeg-turbo-dev zlib-dev musl-dev gcc g++ jpeg-dev
After installing the dependencies, we can now install Libervia. We'll use pip to install the package, so run the following command:
pip3 install salutatoi[webui]
Now that we have installed Libervia, we need to test if it is working properly. Run the command below to start the development server:
salutatoi web
You should see an output similar to the one shown below:
Starting Salut à Toi development server at http://0.0.0.0:8000/
Quit the server with CONTROL-C.
This means that Libervia is up and running. Use your web browser to navigate to http://localhost:8000. You should see the Libervia web interface.
That's it! You have successfully installed Libervia on Alpine Linux Latest. You can now use Libervia to manage your XMPP services. If you encounter any issues during the installation, feel free to check the official documentation or ask for help from the Libervia community.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
