ejabberd.im/">Ejabberd is an open-source XMPP (Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol) server that allows you to create and manage your own messaging platform. In this tutorial, we will walk through the steps to install ejabberd on Clear Linux Latest.
Before we start installing ejabberd, make sure you have:
First, update the package repository and software packages to the latest version using the following command:
sudo swupd update
Ejabberd requires the installation of the Erlang programming language to work. Install Erlang on your Clear Linux system using the following command:
sudo swupd bundle-add erlang
Now, we can install ejabberd. Use the following command to download and install the ejabberd package:
sudo swupd bundle-add ejabberd
After installation, you need to configure ejabberd to work properly.
By default, ejabberd's configuration file is located under the /etc/ejabberd/ directory. Open the configuration file ejabberd.yml using your favorite text editor:
sudo vi /etc/ejabberd/ejabberd.yml
You can modify the settings according to your needs. For example, you can change the hostname and domain name or set up a new database backend. But make sure to save the changes.
Once you have made the changes, restart ejabberd:
sudo systemctl restart ejabberd
To use ejabberd, you need to access its web admin panel. By default, ejabberd's web interface is hosted on port 5280. Therefore, open your web browser and visit http://localhost:5280/admin. You should see the login screen for the web admin panel.
Enter the username and password you set up in the ejabberd.yml file. After entering the credentials, you should see the web interface, where you can configure and manage ejabberd.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed ejabberd on Clear Linux Latest. You can now create your messaging platform and enjoy its benefits.
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!
