SyncTube is a browser-based video synchronization tool for watching videos with friends or family remotely. With SyncTube, you can create or join a YouTube playlist with your friends, and watch the same videos at the same time from different locations. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install SyncTube on EndeavourOS latest.
Before proceeding, please make sure you have the following:
SyncTube is built on Node.js, so we need to install it first. To install Node.js and NPM, run the following command in your terminal:
sudo pacman -S nodejs npm
Next, we need to clone the SyncTube repository from GitHub. To do this, run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/RblSb/SyncTube.git
This will download the latest version of SyncTube to your local machine.
Once we have cloned the repository, navigate to the SyncTube directory using the following command:
cd SyncTube
From here, we can install the required dependencies using NPM. To do this, run the following command:
npm install
This will install all the necessary dependencies for SyncTube to run.
SyncTube comes with a default configuration file located at config/config.json. You can modify this file according to your preferences. For example, you can change the port number or set up authentication.
To start SyncTube, run the following command:
npm start
This will start the SyncTube server at the default port (3000). If you have modified the port number in the config file, you can access the server using the new port number.
Once you have started the SyncTube server, you can access it using any modern web browser. Simply type the IP address or hostname of the EndeavourOS system where SyncTube is running, followed by the port number (if different from the default). For example:
http://192.168.1.10:3000
This should take you to the SyncTube login page. You can create a new account or log in with an existing account. Once you are logged in, you can create or join a room, add YouTube videos to the playlist, and start watching videos with your friends.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and set up SyncTube on EndeavourOS latest. You can now enjoy synchronized video watching with your friends or family. If you have any issues or questions, please refer to the SyncTube documentation or reach out to the SyncTube community for help.
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!
