MiAOU is a chat system that can be run on a server, allowing users to chat with each other in real time. In this tutorial, we will be discussing how to install MiAOU on NetBSD. Here's how to get started:
Before you begin, there are a few prerequisites that you need to have installed on your server:
Open the terminal on your NetBSD server, and clone the MiAOU repository using Git. You can do this by running the following command:
git clone https://github.com/Canop/miaou.git
Now that you have the repository on your server, navigate to the cloned directory using the command:
cd miaou
Install the Node.js packages required to run MiAOU. You can do this using the command:
npm install
Next, start up the server using the command:
npm start
The server should now be running, and you can access it by typing the URL of your server followed by the port where MiAOU is running (usually 3000). For example, if your server's IP address is 123.456.789.012, you can access MiAOU by going to http://123.456.789.012:3000.
Finally, create an admin account so that you can log in and configure MiAOU. You can do this by going to the URL where MiAOU is running, and clicking the "register" button. Once you've registered, log in to the server and configure it to suit your needs.
That's it! You should now have MiAOU up and running on your NetBSD server. Remember to keep the server running always so that users can access the chat system at any time.
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!
