CyTube is a real-time video synchronization platform that allows multiple users to watch videos together. It is an open-source project available on GitHub. Here is a step-by-step tutorial on how to install CyTube on OpenSUSE Latest.
Before installing CyTube, make sure that you have the following installed on your system:
Open a terminal window and navigate to the directory where you want to install CyTube. Then, use the following command to clone the CyTube repository from GitHub:
$ git clone https://github.com/calzoneman/sync.git
Change into the newly created sync directory:
$ cd sync
Install the dependencies with npm:
$ npm install
Copy the example configuration file:
$ cp config/example-config.json config/config.json
Edit the config.json file to configure the server according to your needs. At a minimum, you should set the following values:
ip: The IP address of the server. Set this to 0.0.0.0 to make the server accessible from any IP address.port: The port number on which the server will listen. The default is 8080.domain: The domain name of the server. This is used in the chat system, and as the default playlist prefix.Note that there are many other configuration options available. You can find them in the config/config.json file.
To start the CyTube server, use the following command:
$ npm start
This will start the server process in the foreground. To run the server as a background process, you can use a process manager like PM2.
Open a web browser and go to http://localhost:8080. If everything is working correctly, you should see the CyTube login page.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed CyTube on OpenSUSE Latest. You can now use this platform to watch videos together with your friends or colleagues. For more information on how to use CyTube, check out the documentation on GitHub.
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!
