Tuber is a self-hosted video chat platform developed by Trail of Bits. This tutorial will guide you through the installation process of Tuber on FreeBSD Latest.
Before proceeding with the installation, make sure you have the following requirements:
Git is not pre-installed on FreeBSD. Use the following command to install Git:
sudo pkg install git
Tuber requires Node.js and NPM to be installed on the server. Use the following command to install Node.js and NPM:
sudo pkg install node npm
Verify the Node.js and NPM installation by running the following command:
node -v && npm -v
Clone the Tuber repository using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/trailofbits/tuber.git
Change the directory to the Tuber repository and install the dependencies using the following commands:
cd tuber
npm install
Tuber requires configuration before it can be started. Copy the example configuration file using the following command:
cp .env.example .env
Then edit the .env file with your desired settings. You can use a text editor like nano to edit the file:
nano .env
Use the following command to start Tuber:
npm start
Tuber will start listening on port 3000 by default. You can use a reverse proxy like Nginx to forward the traffic to port 80.
In this tutorial, you learned how to install Tuber on FreeBSD Latest. You can now self-host a video chat platform on your server. If you face any difficulties in following the steps or have any questions, feel free to ask for help in the Tuber community.
