How to Install Tuber on Alpine Linux Latest

Tuber is a self-hosted video chat application that can be installed on your own server. In this tutorial, you will learn how to install it on Alpine Linux Latest.

Prerequisites

Before proceeding, make sure you have the following:

• A server with Alpine Linux Latest installed
• Root access to the server
• Docker installed on the server
• A domain name or public IP address for your server

Step 1: Install Dependencies

To install Tuber on Alpine Linux, we need to install some dependencies first. Run the following command to install them:

apk add --no-cache curl wget git make libmicrohttpd-dev libnice-dev glib-dev opus-dev libogg-dev libssl-dev gstreamer-dev gst-plugins-base-dev gst-plugins-good-dev gd gettext-dev json-c-dev jansson-dev mysql-dev

Step 2: Clone Tuber Repository

Next, we need to clone the Tuber repository. Run the following command to do that:

git clone https://github.com/trailofbits/tuber.git

Step 3: Build Tuber Docker Image

Now that we have cloned the Tuber repository, we need to build the Docker image. Navigate to the Tuber directory and run the following command:

cd tuber
make docker

This will build the Docker image with all the necessary components for running Tuber.

Step 4: Run Tuber Container

Once the Tuber Docker image is built, we can run it as a container. Run the following command to start the container:

docker run --rm -v $(pwd)/config:/config --network host --name tuber trailofbits/tuber:latest /tuber --config=/config/config.json

This will start the Tuber container and mount the configuration file located in the config directory.

Step 5: Configure Tuber

Tuber is now running, but we need to configure it before we can start using it. Navigate to the config directory and edit the config.json file with your domain name or public IP address.

cd config
nano config.json

Change the value of the domain field to your domain name or public IP address.

Step 6: Access Tuber

Tuber is now configured and ready to use! Open a web browser and navigate to the following URL:

https://<YOUR_DOMAIN_NAME_OR_PUBLIC_IP>

You should now see the Tuber login page. Use the default login credentials admin/password to log in.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured Tuber on Alpine Linux Latest.

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!

Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
