JSXC is a web-based chat client that can be integrated into any website to enable real-time chatting functionality. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing JSXC on Fedora Server Latest.
Before installing JSXC, you need to have the following software installed on your Fedora Server Latest system:
You can install these packages by running the following command:
sudo dnf install httpd php mysql-server git
Open the terminal and clone the JSXC repository using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/jsxc/jsxc.git /var/www/html/jsxc
This will download the JSXC files and store them in the /var/www/html/jsxc directory.
Create a new database and user for JSXC using the mysql command-line tool:
mysql -u root -p
Enter your MySQL root user password when prompted. Then, use the following commands to create a new database and user:
CREATE DATABASE jsxc_db;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON jsxc_db.* TO 'jsxc_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'your_password';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Replace your_password with a secure password that you will remember.
We need to configure the Apache web server to serve the JSXC files. This can be done by creating a new virtual host.
Create a new virtual host file by running the following command:
sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf.d/jsxc.conf
Add the following configuration in the file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/jsxc/
ServerName example.com
ServerAlias www.example.com
ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/jsxc_error.log
CustomLog /var/log/httpd/jsxc_access.log combined
<Directory "/var/www/html/jsxc/">
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
<FilesMatch \.php$>
SetHandler "proxy:unix:/run/php-fpm/www.sock|fcgi://localhost/"
</FilesMatch>
</VirtualHost>
Replace example.com with your domain name or IP address.
Save and close the file.
Restart the Apache web server to apply the changes:
sudo systemctl restart httpd
Copy the config.js.dist file to config.js by running the following command:
cp /var/www/html/jsxc/config.js.dist /var/www/html/jsxc/config.js
Open the config.js file in a text editor:
sudo nano /var/www/html/jsxc/config.js
Change the following lines as per your setup:
window.location.protocol + '//' + window.location.hostname + '/http-bind/', //URL to the BOSH-interface
rid: '123456', // request id (integer or 'fixed')
domain: 'example.com', //JID (domain)
host: 'example.com', //Host to which the xmpp connection is established
resource: 'jsxc', //resource
loginForm: {
form: $('#loginForm'),
jid: $('#jid'),
pass: $('#password'),
ifFound: 'force',
onConnecting: function () {
$('#connecting').html('Connecting to ' + this.jid.val() + '...');
},
onConnected: function () {
$('#loginBox').hide();
$('#chatBox').show();
}
},
Save and close the file.
Open a web browser and navigate to http://example.com/jsxc/. You should see the JSXC login page. Enter your XMPP credentials (JID and password) and click on the "Sign In" button.
If everything is working fine, you should be taken to the JSXC chat interface.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed JSXC on Fedora Server Latest.
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!
