Galene is a server software used for video conferencing and live streaming. In this tutorial, we will install Galene on FreeBSD Latest.
Before proceeding with the installation, make sure that you have:
First, let's update the system with the following command:
sudo freebsd-update fetch install
Galene requires several dependencies to run properly. To install them, run the following commands:
sudo pkg update
sudo pkg install -y curl git gmake opus opus-tools pkgconf webrtc-audio-processing
Now we'll clone the Galene source code using Git.
git clone https://github.com/jech/galene.git
Navigate to the galene directory and build it using the following commands:
cd galene
./configure
gmake
We need to create a configuration file for Galene. We'll use the sample configuration file as a base:
cp misc/sample.conf galene.conf
Edit the configuration file using your favorite text editor, and make the following changes:
server-name option to your server's hostname or IP address.http-address and https-address options to your server's IP address.turn-key option to a strong secret key.Once the configuration file is set up, we can start Galene with the following command:
./galene -c galene.conf
Galene is now running, and you can connect to it using a web browser. Navigate to https://<your-server-ip> and click the "Enter" button to join the conference.
You have successfully installed Galene on FreeBSD Latest. You should now be able to use Galene for video conferencing and live streaming.
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!
