JSXC is a web-based messaging client that allows users to communicate securely and privately through their web browser. In this tutorial, we will go through the steps needed to install JSXC on FreeBSD latest version using the command line.
Before we begin, ensure that you have the following components installed on your FreeBSD system:
First, we need to download the JSXC package from the official website. Open your web browser and visit https://jsxc.org/download.html to download the package.
Once the download is complete, extract the contents of the package to your preferred directory.
To install JSXC dependencies, you need to run the following command:
sudo npm install
This command will install all the dependencies required by JSXC.
Before we start the configuration of JSXC, ensure that you have the XMPP credentials for your server.
Open the config.js file in the jsxc directory of the extracted package. You can use the following command to open and edit the config.js file.
sudo vi /path/to/jsxc-directory/jsxc/config.js
Update the values of the xmpp credentials in the config.js file with your XMPP server's credentials.
Save and exit the file.
To start the JSXC server, navigate to the directory where the extracted JSXC package is located and run the following command:
npm start
This command will start the server, and you can access the application via your web browser by visiting http://localhost:5280/jsxc/.
In this tutorial, you have learned how to install JSXC on FreeBSD latest version. With JSXC installed, you can now start using the client to communicate securely and privately through 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!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
