Jackal is an XMPP server written in Go. It offers an easy-to-use and scalable platform for building instant messaging applications. Here's how you can install Jackal on your Manjaro Linux system.
Before installing Jackal, make sure you have the following software installed on your system:
First, open your terminal and clone Jackal from the official Github repository by typing:
git clone https://github.com/ortuman/jackal.git
Navigate to the cloned Jackal directory and build the application by typing:
cd jackal
make build
You'll see the output of the build process in your terminal.
After the build process has completed, start Jackal by running the following command:
./jackal start
If everything goes well, you'll see a message confirming that Jackal has started.
Open your web browser and go to http://localhost:5222. You should be able to see the XMPP interface of Jackal.
Congratulations! You've successfully installed Jackal on your Manjaro Linux 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!
