OpenMeetings is a free and open-source web-based video conferencing, instant messaging and collaboration tool that can be used to conduct online meetings, webinars, lectures, presentations, video chats, and group discussions. In this tutorial, you will learn how to install OpenMeetings on EndeavourOS Latest.
OpenMeetings requires Java 8 or later version to be installed on your server before you can install it. To install Java 8, run the following commands:
sudo pacman -Syu
sudo pacman -S jdk8-openjdk
OpenMeetings requires Apache web server with mod_proxy enabled. To install Apache web server, run the following commands:
sudo pacman -S apache
To enable mod_proxy, run the following command:
sudo ln -s /etc/httpd/conf/modules/mod_proxy.so /etc/httpd/modules/mod_proxy.so
OpenMeetings requires a datasource to be set up. In this tutorial, we will use MariaDB, which can be installed by running the following commands:
sudo pacman -S mariadb
To start and enable MariaDB, run the following commands:
sudo systemctl start mysqld
sudo systemctl enable mysqld
Run the following command to secure your MariaDB installation:
sudo mysql_secure_installation
Now we are ready to install OpenMeetings on EndeavourOS Latest.
cd /tmp
wget https://downloads.apache.org/openmeetings/5.0.0/bin/apache-openmeetings-5.0.0.tar.gz
tar zxvf apache-openmeetings-5.0.0.tar.gz
sudo mv apache-openmeetings-5.0.0 /opt/openmeetings
Before starting OpenMeetings, we need to configure some settings in the configuration file. Edit /opt/openmeetings/webapps/openmeetings/WEB-INF/classes/META-INF/spring/applicationContext.xml
file and change the following settings:
<bean id="red5Properties" class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertiesFactoryBean">
<property name="properties">
<props>
<!-- set the Red5 directory -->
<prop key="red5.root">${red5.root}</prop>
<!-- set the MySQL or MariaDB database connection details -->
<prop key="jdbc.url">jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/openmeetings?autoReconnect=true</prop>
<prop key="jdbc.username">openmeetings</prop>
<prop key="jdbc.password">openmeetings</prop>
<!-- set the OpenMeetings administrator account -->
<prop key="admin.username">admin</prop>
<prop key="admin.password">12345</prop>
</props>
</property>
</bean>
Save and close the file.
Finally, we are ready to start OpenMeetings on EndeavourOS Latest.
sudo /opt/openmeetings/red5.sh
OpenMeetings should now be running on your server. You can access it by opening a web browser and entering http://your-server-ip-address:5080/openmeetings
in the address bar. You should be prompted to enter your OpenMeetings administrator username and password, which you set in the configuration file.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed OpenMeetings on EndeavourOS Latest.
