Convos is an open-source web-based IRC client that allows you to chat with your friends and colleagues over an IRC network. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Convos on Fedora Server Latest.
Make sure you have the following prerequisites before proceeding:
Convos requires several dependencies that are not included in the default Fedora repository. We need to enable the EPEL repository on our server.
To do that, run the following command:
sudo dnf install epel-release
We need to install the cpanm tool to easily install Perl modules. You can install cpanm by running the below command:
sudo dnf install perl-App-cpanminus
Convos will use Redis as the message broker. You need to install Redis on your system by running the below command:
sudo dnf install redis
Enable and start the Redis service:
sudo systemctl enable --now redis
Next, you can install Convos by running the below command:
sudo cpanm Convos
This command will take a few minutes to download and install all the dependencies.
Once the installation is complete, you can start Convos by running the following command:
convos daemon
The default port on which Convos runs is 3000. You can access Convos by navigating to http://<SERVER_IP>:3000.
You have successfully installed Convos on Fedora Server Latest. You can use Convos to chat with your friends and colleagues over the IRC network.
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!
