JSXC is a modern XMPP web client that provides secure and encrypted communication. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install JSXC on POP!_OS Latest.
Before starting with the installation process, make sure that you have the following:
The first step is to install Node.js on your POP!_OS system. To do this, open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo apt-get install nodejs
Next, we need to install npm, which is a package manager for Node.js. Run the following command in the terminal:
sudo apt-get install npm
Now, we need to download and extract the JSXC archive. You can download the latest version of JSXC from the official website.
Once the download is complete, extract the archive to a folder of your choice.
After extracting the archive, change to the extracted directory and run the following command in the terminal to install the dependencies:
npm install
Once the dependencies have been installed, run the following command to build JSXC:
npm run build
Now that you have built JSXC, you need to configure it. Copy the sample configuration file to config.js by running the following command:
cp config.js.sample config.js
Next, open the config.js file in a text editor, and modify the server configuration to match your setup. For example:
xmpp: {
url: 'wss://yourxmppserver.com:5291/websocket',
domain: 'yourxmppserver.com',
resource: 'jsxc',
overwrite: true
},
Make sure to replace yourxmppserver.com with your XMPP server's FQDN or IP address.
Finally, run the following command to serve JSXC:
npm start
The web server will start, and you can access JSXC by opening a web browser and navigating to http://localhost:8080.
With these steps, you should now have JSXC installed and running on your POP!_OS system. You can start using it to communicate securely and privately with your friends and colleagues.
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!
