How to Install PushBits on Manjaro

PushBits is a real-time notification service that is built on top of the websocket technology. If you want to use PushBits on your Manjaro machine, follow these simple steps:

Prerequisites

Before you proceed, you need to make sure that your Manjaro machine satisfies the following requirements:

Step 1 - Clone PushBits

The first step is to clone the PushBits repository from GitHub. To do so, open the Terminal and run the following command:

git clone https://github.com/pushbits/server.git

This will clone the PushBits repository to your current directory.

Step 2 - Build and Run PushBits

The next step is to build and run the PushBits service. To do so, navigate to the cloned repository directory using the following command:

cd server

Once you are inside the PushBits directory, you need to build the Docker image by running the following command:

docker build -t pushbits .

This will build the PushBits image with the name "pushbits". Once the image is built, you can run the PushBits service by running the following command:

docker run -p 3000:3000 -d pushbits

This will start the PushBits service as a Docker container and map the container's port 3000 to your machine's port 3000.

Step 3 - Test PushBits

Once you have started the PushBits service, you can test it by visiting http://localhost:3000/ in your web browser.

If everything is working properly, you should see the PushBits homepage.

Conclusion

That's it! You have successfully installed PushBits on your Manjaro machine. You can now use PushBits to send real-time notifications to your users.
