Galene is a modern video conferencing server designed to be easily deployable on your own infrastructure. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Galene on Manjaro.
Before you begin, you will need:
In order to install and run Galene, we need a few dependencies to be installed first. Open the terminal and run the following command to install.
sudo pacman -S git cargo sqlite postgresql libssl-dev libopus-dev libsqlite3-dev
Clone the Galene repository from GitHub.
git clone https://github.com/GaleneProject/galene
This will create a directory called galene in your current working directory.
Navigate to the galene directory and run the following command to build and install Galene:
cd galene
sudo cargo install --path=.
Create a configuration file galene.toml with the following minimal configuration:
listen = "0.0.0.0:8443"
cert = "/path/to/server.crt"
key = "/path/to/server.key"
Replace the listen, cert, and key parameters with appropriate values for your environment.
Next run the following command to start Galene:
galene --config /path/to/galene.toml
That's it! Your Galene server should now be up and running.
In this tutorial, we showed you how to install Galene on Manjaro. With this server, you can now host your own video conferencing platform on your own infrastructure. If you have any questions or issues, feel free to consult the official Galene documentation.
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!
