Tuber is an open-source self-hosted video chat platform that allows you to easily set up and host your own video conferencing solution. Here's a step-by-step tutorial on how to install Tuber on EndeavourOS Latest using the command line.
Before we proceed with the installation, make sure you have the following:
It's always a good practice to update your system before installing any new software. Run the following command to update your system:
sudo pacman -Syu
Tuber requires several dependencies to work properly. Run the following command to install them:
sudo pacman -S git nodejs npm nginx
Next, we need to clone the Tuber repository from GitHub. Run the following command to clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/trailofbits/tuber.git
Once you have cloned the Tuber repository, navigate to the Tuber directory and install the required packages by running the following command:
cd tuber
npm install
Tuber comes with a default configuration file located at tuber/config/default.js. You can modify this file to suit your needs. Make a copy of this file by running the following command:
cp config/default.js config/local.js
Next, edit the local.js file and change the values as per your requirements. You can also set the environment variables listed in the local.js file by adding them to your environment file.
Tuber uses NGINX as a reverse proxy server. We need to configure NGINX to work with Tuber. Run the following command to create a new NGINX configuration file:
sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/tuber.conf
Add the following configuration to the file:
server {
listen 80;
server_name your.domain.com;
location / {
proxy_pass http://localhost:8000;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection 'upgrade';
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
}
}
Replace your.domain.com with your domain name or IP address. Once you have made the changes, save and close the file.
Enable the site configuration by creating a symbolic link to the sites-enabled directory:
sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/tuber.conf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
Test the NGINX configuration and make sure there are no errors:
sudo nginx -t
Once you have verified the configuration, restart NGINX to apply the changes:
sudo systemctl restart nginx
Finally, we can start Tuber by running the following command:
npm start
You should see the following output:
info: Tuber server listening on https://localhost:8000
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Tuber on EndeavourOS Latest. You can now access Tuber by navigating to your.domain.com in your web browser.
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!
