Syndie is a decentralized forum platform that allows users to create and participate in anonymous, encrypted discussions. Here's how to install it on Clear Linux.
Before installing Syndie, make sure your Clear Linux system is up to date by running the following command:
sudo swupd update
Syndie is built in Java, so you'll need to install the Java Development Kit (JDK) if it's not already on your system. To install JDK on Clear Linux, run the following command:
sudo swupd bundle-add java-development
Once the installation is complete, verify it by running the following command:
java -version
You should see the installed version of Java displayed in the output.
Head over to the Syndie website at https://syndie.de/ and download the latest release.
Extract the downloaded Syndie archive to a directory of your choice. Then, change into the Syndie directory and run the following command to compile Syndie from the source code:
./gradlew build
Once the build process is complete, you should see a new directory called "build/install/syndie" containing the Syndie executable and supporting files. To start Syndie, run the following command:
./build/install/syndie/bin/syndie
Syndie will start up and open a web browser window showing the Syndie user interface.
After following these steps, you have successfully installed Syndie on Clear Linux Latest. With Syndie, you can communicate anonymously and securely with other users on the decentralized forum platform.
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!
