Galene is a modern and secure video conferencing platform that is designed to provide real-time audio and video communication. In this tutorial, we will explore how to install Galene on OpenBSD.
Make sure you have the following prerequisites before installing Galene:
Before we start installing Galene, we need to install some of the required packages on our OpenBSD server. You can install them by running the following command:
$ doas pkg_add -I rsync cmake git autoconf automake libtool yasm unzip pkgconf ninja
Next, we need to clone the Galene repository from GitHub to our OpenBSD server. You can use the following command to clone the repository:
$ git clone https://github.com/mitls/galene.git
Once we have cloned the Galene repository, we need to build it from the source. You can follow the below steps:
$ cd galene
$ mkdir build && cd build
$ cmake -GNinja ..
$ ninja
$ sudo ninja install
To configure Galene, create a configuration file using the following command:
$ sudo cp /usr/local/share/doc/galene/galene.cfg.example /etc/galene.cfg
$ sudo chmod 600 /etc/galene.cfg
Then, edit the configuration file /etc/galene.cfg and change any parameters as needed.
Before starting the Galene services, create the Galene log directory:
$ sudo mkdir /var/log/galene
$ sudo chown _galene:_galene /var/log/galene
Now, we can start the Galene services using the following command:
$ sudo /etc/rc.d/galene start
Check the status of the Galene services using the following command:
$ sudo /etc/rc.d/galene check
That's it! You have successfully installed Galene on your OpenBSD server. You can now use it as a secure video conferencing platform. Keep in mind that security is a critical aspect of video conferencing and always keep your system up-to-date to avoid any security threats.
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!
