Tigase is a free and open-source XMPP server that provides instant messaging and presence capabilities. In this tutorial, we will be going through the steps to install Tigase on Linux Mint Latest.
Before installing Tigase on Linux Mint Latest, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
First, download the latest version of Tigase from the official Tigase website. You can do this by running the following command in a terminal window:
$ wget https://projects.tigase.org/attachments/download/2239/tigase-server-9.3.0-b4540-dist-max.tar.gz
Next, you need to extract the downloaded Tigase archive and install it. You can do this by running the following commands in a terminal window:
$ tar -zxvf tigase-server-9.3.0-b4540-dist-max.tar.gz
$ cd tigase-server-9.3.0-b4540-dist-max
$ sudo ./scripts/tigase.sh install etc/tigase.conf
The install command will install Tigase as a service on your Linux Mint Latest system.
Now that Tigase is installed, you need to configure it. Tigase configuration files are located in the /etc/tigase/ directory.
To configure Tigase, modify the etc/tigase.conf file using your preferred text editor, and make any necessary changes.
Save the file and exit your editor.
To start the Tigase server, run the following command in a terminal window:
$ sudo systemctl start tigase
This will start Tigase as a system service.
To verify that Tigase is running, use the following command:
$ sudo systemctl status tigase
If Tigase is running properly, you will see output indicating that the tigase.service is active, as well as some additional information about the service's current state.
Lastly, you can access the Tigase web console by opening a web browser and navigating to:
https://localhost:5281/web
This will take you to the Tigase web console, where you can manage your Tigase server.
That's it! You now have Tigase installed and running on your Linux Mint Latest system.
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!
