Weechat is a free and open-source chat client that runs on many different platforms, including Alpine Linux Latest. In this tutorial, we will go over the steps necessary to install Weechat on Alpine Linux Latest.
Before we begin, it is recommended to update your system to ensure you have the latest versions of software packages available. To do this, run the following command:
apk update && apk upgrade
Once your system is up-to-date, you can install Weechat using the following command:
apk add weechat
Now that Weechat is installed on your system, you will need to configure it to connect to your preferred chat service. You can do this by running the following command:
weechat
This will open Weechat's configuration interface. From here, you can add chat services and customize your settings. For example, to add an IRC channel, you can run the following command:
/addserver irc.example.com
/connect example
/join #channel
That's it! You now have Weechat installed on your Alpine Linux Latest system and configured to your liking. With Weechat, you can connect to various chat services and stay in touch with friends and colleagues. If you have any issues or questions, be sure to consult the Weechat documentation or 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!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
