NATS is a popular, high-performance messaging system that allows clients to communicate with each other over a network. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing NATS on EndeavourOS Latest.
Before moving forward, ensure that:
The first step is to update your system packages to their latest versions using the pacman package manager:
sudo pacman -Syu
This command will check for updates and upgrade your system as required. If updates are available, it will prompt you to proceed with their installation.
The second step is to download and install NATS using the pacman package manager:
sudo pacman -S nats-server
This command will download and install the latest stable version of NATS and its required dependencies.
By default, NATS runs on port 4222. If you need to configure NATS to run on another port or setup authentication, refer to the official NATS documentation for further information.
To start NATS, run the following command:
sudo systemctl start nats.service
This command will start the NATS server as a system service, which will automatically start and stop NATS on server reboot or shutdown.
You can test that NATS is running by running:
sudo systemctl status nats.service
If the NATS service is running as expected, you should see the output indicating active (running).
Alternatively, you can also start NATS manually by running the following command:
nats-server
This will start NATS in the foreground, and you can stop it by pressing CTRL + C.
In this tutorial, we've guided you through the process of installing NATS on EndeavourOS Latest. Congratulations, you've now got a running NATS server ready for use!
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!
