Tinode is an open-source instant messaging platform that can be installed on various operating systems, including NetBSD. If you want to install Tinode on your NetBSD machine, follow these steps:
Before installing Tinode, you need to install several dependencies first. Open the terminal on your NetBSD machine and type the following command:
sudo pkgin update
sudo pkgin install git cmake make gcc openssl
You may need to enter your password to complete the installation process.
Once the dependencies are installed, you can clone the Tinode repository from GitHub using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/tinode/tinode.git
This will create a new directory named "tinode" on your NetBSD machine.
The next step is to build Tinode. Navigate to the "tinode" directory and run the following commands:
cd tinode
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
This will build Tinode from the source files.
After building Tinode, you can install it on your NetBSD machine using the following command:
sudo make install
This will install Tinode on your NetBSD machine.
Finally, to test Tinode, you can run the following command:
tinode
This will start the Tinode server, and you should see output similar to the following:
Starting up Tinode server ...
HTTP interface listening on 127.0.0.1:6060 (IPv6 disabled)
WebSocket interface listening on 127.0.0.1:6060 (IPv6 disabled)
WebSocket interface listening on 0.0.0.0:6061 (IPv6 enabled)
PID file: /var/run/tinode.pid
Now you can access Tinode on your NetBSD machine by opening a web browser and navigating to http://localhost:6060.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Tinode on your NetBSD machine.
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!
