In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to install Metronome IM on your Fedora Server latest.
Before we get started, ensure you have the following:
Metronome IM package isn't available in the default Fedora repositories. Therefore, you need to enable the EPEL repository to install it.
Execute the following command in the terminal to enable the EPEL repository:
sudo dnf install epel-release
Add the Metronome IM repository to your Fedora Server by running the command:
sudo dnf config-manager --add-repo=https://packages.ejabberd.im/metronome/metronome-4.x/fedora/metronome-4.x.repo
After adding the new repository, make sure to update your system repositories with the command:
sudo dnf update
Now, install Metronome on your Fedora Server latest with the command:
sudo dnf install metronome
During the installation process, the terminal will prompt you to confirm the installation. Type "y" and press enter to proceed.
Once the installation of Metronome is complete, you can start the service by running:
sudo systemctl start metronome
To ensure that Metronome starts automatically on system reboot, run:
sudo systemctl enable metronome
To check the status of Metronome and ensure that it's running smoothly, run the command:
sudo systemctl status metronome
If the service is running without any issues, you'll see an output similar to the one below:
● metronome.service - Metronome XMPP Server
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/metronome.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled)
Active: active (running) since Sun 2021-10-10 15:12:28 IST; 4min 23s ago
...
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Metronome IM on your Fedora Server latest. You can now configure and use Metronome to manage your XMPP server.
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!
