Status is a privacy-focused messaging app that runs on the Ethereum blockchain. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Status on your FreeBSD Latest system.
Before we begin, make sure that you have the following prerequisites installed:
First, we need to clone the Status repository from GitHub. Run the following command to clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/dani3l0/Status.git
Next, install the required dependencies:
pkg install -y git go gmake pkgconf node npm yarn
Once the dependencies are installed, navigate to the cloned Status repository directory and build the Status image using the following command:
cd Status
make status-node
This will build the Status image and will take a few minutes to complete.
After the Status image is built, launch Status using the following command:
docker-compose up
This will start the Status container and will take a few minutes to complete.
Once the container is up and running, you can access Status by opening your web browser and entering the following URL:
http://localhost:8900/
This will launch the Status application in your web browser.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed and launched Status on your FreeBSD Latest system. Enjoy using the privacy-focused messaging app on the Ethereum blockchain!
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!
