In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of Tigase, an open-source XMPP server, on Arch Linux.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have the following requirements:

Step 1 - Update System Packages

First, update your system packages using the following command:

Step 2 - Install Java

Tigase requires Java to run. You can install the default OpenJDK version using the following command:

pacman -S jdk-openjdk

Verify the installation using the following command:

java -version

If the installation is successful, you will see the output with the version of Java.

Step 3 - Install Tigase

Now, we will download and install the Tigase server using the following steps:

  1. Download the latest version of Tigase from the official website using the following command:
wget https://projects.tigase.org/attachments/download/2068/tigase-server-XX.XX.XXX.zip

Make sure to replace XX.XX.XXX with the latest version number.

  1. Unzip the downloaded file using the following command:
unzip tigase-server-XX.XX.XXX.zip -d tigase-server

Again, replace XX.XX.XXX with the latest version number.

  1. Change the directory to tigase-server using the following command:
cd tigase-server
  1. Run the installer using the following command:
bin/tigase.sh install etc/init.properties
  1. Start the server by running the following command:
bin/tigase.sh start etc/init.properties

You can now access the Tigase server by going to http://localhost:8080/. If you want to access the Tigase Management Console, go to http://localhost:8080/admin/.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed the Tigase server on Arch Linux. Tigase is now ready to use for your personal or enterprise messaging needs.

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!
