Misskey is a decentralized microblogging platform that allows users to share short messages and interact with each other through threads and hashtags. It's a great alternative to mainstream social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of Misskey on Manjaro.
Before we begin, make sure you have the following prerequisites installed on your system:
You can install Node.js and Yarn by running the following command in your terminal:
sudo pacman -S nodejs yarn
The first step is to clone the Misskey repository from GitHub. Open your terminal and run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/syuilo/misskey.git
This will download the Misskey code to your local system.
Next, navigate to the Misskey directory and install the required dependencies by running the following command:
cd misskey
yarn install
This command will install the required packages and modules that Misskey needs to run.
Misskey requires some settings to be configured in a .env file. You can copy the sample .env file and customize it to fit your needs by running the following command:
cp .env.sample .env
Open the .env file with your favorite text editor and modify the following settings:
PORT=3000
APP_NAME=YourAppName
DOMAIN=localhost
SESSION_SECRET=YourSessionSecret
Replace YourAppName with the name of your app, and YourSessionSecret with a secret value that you generate.
Now that everything is set up, you can start the Misskey server by running the following command:
yarn start
This will start Misskey on port 3000.
You can now access Misskey by navigating to http://localhost:3000 in your favorite web browser.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Misskey on Manjaro. You can now customize it to fit your needs and start using it to connect with your friends and family. Enjoy!
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!
