Dendrite is a high-performance, decentralized communication server for the Matrix network. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Dendrite on Clear Linux Latest.
Before installing Dendrite, make sure the following prerequisites have been met:
To install Dendrite, you need to clone the repository from Github. To do that, run the following command in your terminal window:
git clone https://github.com/matrix-org/dendrite.git
This will download the Dendrite code to your local system.
Before building Dendrite, you need to install some dependencies. Run the following command in your terminal window to install them:
sudo swupd bundle-add devpkg-libpq devpkg-sqlite devpkg-openssl devpkg-libolm devpkg-libzmq
This command will install the necessary packages required for building Dendrite.
Once the dependencies are installed, you can build Dendrite using the following commands:
cd dendrite
export GO111MODULE=on
go mod download
CGO_ENABLED=1 go build -tags 'postgres sqlite3 zmq'
This command will build Dendrite and create an executable named dendrite.
Dendrite requires a configuration file in order to run. You can create a sample configuration file using the following command:
./dendrite-tool templates -o dendrite.yaml
This command will create a dendrite.yaml file in the current directory.
To start Dendrite, run the following command in your terminal window:
./dendrite -config dendrite.yaml
This command will start Dendrite and it will be accessible on port 8008 of your system.
In this tutorial, you learned how to install Dendrite on Clear Linux Latest. You can now use Dendrite as a communication server for the Matrix network.
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!
