MongooseIM is a powerful XMPP (Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol) messaging platform that can be easily installed on Linux Mint. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing MongooseIM on Linux Mint Latest.
Before starting the installation process, you should have the following:
MongooseIM is built on top of Erlang, so the first step is to install Erlang on your system. Run the following command to install Erlang:
sudo apt-get install erlang
Go to the official page of MongooseIM and download the package for Linux. Alternatively, you can use the wget command to download the package directly:
wget https://packages.erlang-solutions.com/mongooseim/mongooseim_3.5.1-1_amd64.deb
Once the package is downloaded, you can install it by running the following command:
sudo dpkg -i mongooseim_3.5.1-1_amd64.deb
This will install the MongooseIM package on your system.
After the installation is complete, you can start the MongooseIM service by running the following command:
sudo service mongooseim start
If you want the service to start automatically at boot time, you can use the following command:
sudo systemctl enable mongooseim
The MongooseIM Web Console is a web-based interface that you can use to manage your MongooseIM server. To access the Web Console, open your web browser and enter the following URL:
http://localhost:5280/admin/
You should see the MongooseIM login page. Enter the default username and password, which are admin and s3cr3t.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed MongooseIM on Linux Mint Latest. You can now use MongooseIM to create a powerful XMPP messaging platform for your organization or personal use.
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!
