Buddycloud is a free, open-source platform for building social networking applications. It provides a set of APIs and libraries that developers can use to build their own social networking apps. If you want to install Buddycloud on your POP! OS Latest system, follow the steps below.
Before we can install Buddycloud, we need to install some dependencies. Open a terminal window and type the following command:
sudo apt-get install -y git build-essential libssl-dev libsqlite3-dev
This command installs the necessary tools and libraries that are required to build and run Buddycloud.
Next, we need to clone the Buddycloud repository from Github. To do this, run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/buddycloud/buddycloud-server-java.git
This command will clone the repository into a new directory named buddycloud-server-java.
Now, we can build and install Buddycloud by running the following commands:
cd buddycloud-server-java
./build.sh
sudo ./install.sh
The first command changes into the buddycloud-server-java directory, and the second command runs the build script, which will compile the source code and create a JAR file. The third command runs the installation script, which will install the JAR file and start the Buddycloud server.
After the installation is complete, you should be able to access the Buddycloud server at http://localhost:8080. To set up the server for your use, you will need to create an administrator account and configure the server settings.
Follow the instructions in the Buddycloud documentation to create an administrator account and configure the server settings.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Buddycloud on your POP! OS Latest system.
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!
