Infinoted is a dedicated server for Gobby, a collaborative text editor. Infinoted can be installed on a Manjaro system using the following steps:
Before installing Infinoted, you need to ensure that all the necessary dependencies are in place. These dependencies can be installed using the following command:
sudo pacman -S git make gcc python python-gobject vala intltool docbook-xsl gtk-doc
Next, download the source code for Infinoted from its GitHub repository using Git:
git clone https://github.com/gobby/infinoted.git
Once the repository has been cloned, navigate to the infinoted directory and use the make command to build the software:
cd infinoted
make
After building Infinoted, you can install it using the following command:
sudo make install
This command will install Infinoted to the /usr/local/bin directory on your system.
After installing Infinoted, you need to create a configuration file for it. You can create a configuration file using a text editor of your choice:
sudo nano /etc/infinoted.conf
In this configuration file, you should include the following information:
[Infinoted]
address = 127.0.0.1
port = 6523
certfile = /etc/ssl/certs/infinoted.pem
keyfile = /etc/ssl/private/infinoted.pem
Here, you can modify the address and port parameters to set the IP address and port number that Infinoted should listen on. You should also set the paths for the SSL certificate and key files.
Finally, you can start Infinoted using the following command:
sudo /usr/local/bin/infinoted /etc/infinoted.conf
This will start the Infinoted server and begin listening for connections on the specified IP address and port number.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured Infinoted on your Manjaro 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!
