In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps of installing plugNmeet on Debian Latest. plugNmeet is an open-source video conferencing platform that enables users to host and join online meetings.
Before we begin the installation process, ensure that you have the following prerequisites:
To ensure that your system is up-to-date, run the following command in the terminal:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
plugNmeet requires several dependencies to be installed on your system. Run the following command to install them:
sudo apt-get install python python-pip python-dev python-setuptools libssl-dev libffi-dev libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev zlib1g-dev nginx curl
plugNmeet requires a PostgreSQL database to store its data. Run the following command to install PostgreSQL:
sudo apt-get install postgresql postgresql-contrib
Once installed, switch to the postgres user and create a new PostgreSQL user and database. Use the following commands to do so:
sudo su - postgres
createuser plugnmeetuser --interactive
createdb plugnmeetdb
exit
plugNmeet also requires a Redis server for session management. Run the following command to install Redis:
sudo apt-get install redis-server
Now that all the necessary dependencies are installed, it is time to install plugNmeet. Run the following command to install plugNmeet:
sudo pip install plugnmeet
The next step is to configure plugNmeet. Run the following command to create a configuration file for plugNmeet:
sudo plugnmeet-config
Create a new configuration file in your preferred text editor, and add the following configuration information:
[plugnmeet]
SECRET_KEY = <your_secret_key>
DEBUG = False
PUBLIC_URL = <your_website_url>
DATABASE_URL = postgres://plugnmeetuser:<db_password>@localhost/plugnmeetdb
REDIS_URL = redis://localhost:6379
BASE_URL = /
NGINX_ENABLED = True
Make sure to replace <your_secret_key>, <your_website_url>, and <db_password> with your desired values.
After completing the configuration, start the plugNmeet server with the following command:
sudo plugnmeet-server
If all goes well, your plugNmeet server should be up and running on the specified website URL.
You have successfully installed and configured plugNmeet on your Debian Latest system. Enjoy your hassle-free video conferencing experience!
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!
