Galene is a free and open-source WebRTC server that allows you to host video conferences, meetings, and live events. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Galene on OpenSUSE latest through the terminal.
Before we start, we need to make sure our system is up-to-date. Open the terminal and type the following command to update your system.
sudo zypper update
Next, we need to add the Galene repository to our system. Open the terminal and type the following command.
sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/network:/messaging:/xmpp:/galene/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/network:messaging:xmpp:galene.repo
After adding the repository, we can now install Galene. Type the following command to install Galene.
sudo zypper install galene
During the installation process, you will be prompted to confirm the installation of the package. Type ‘y’ then press enter to continue with the installation.
To start the Galene server, type the following command in the terminal.
galene -d
If the installation is successful, the command will start the Galene server in the background.
Now that Galene is up and running, we can access the client interface by typing the IP address of the server followed by the port number 8443 (the default Galene port) in a web browser.
https://your-server-ip:8443/client.html
The first time you access the client interface, you will be asked to provide a username and password to access the server. Simply enter a username and a strong password to continue.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Galene on your OpenSUSE latest installation. You can now start creating video conferences, meetings, and live events with Galene.
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!
