This tutorial outlines the steps for installing OpenMeetings on the latest version of Clear Linux.
OpenMeetings requires Java SE Development Kit (JDK) version 8 to run. You can install it on your system with the following command:
sudo swupd bundle-add java-runtime
Apache Tomcat is an open-source web server that is used to serve Java web applications. OpenMeetings runs on Tomcat, so you need to install it on your system. You can install it with the following command:
sudo swupd bundle-add tomcat
Download the latest version of OpenMeetings from the official website https://openmeetings.apache.org/index.html.
wget https://openmeetings.apache.org/downloads.html
Unzip the downloaded file with the following command:
unzip openmeetings-x.x.x.zip
Replace "x.x.x" with the version number of the downloaded file.
Move the unzipped OpenMeetings directory to the Tomcat webapps directory.
sudo mv openmeetings /usr/share/tomcat/webapps/
Start the Tomcat web server with the following command:
sudo systemctl start tomcat
OpenMeetings should now be available on your server at http://localhost:8080/openmeetings.
You've successfully installed OpenMeetings on Clear Linux Latest. You can now use it to host your own video conferences, webinars, and interactive presentations.
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!
