In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Buddycloud on Ubuntu Server Latest. Buddycloud is a decentralized social network platform that allows people to connect with each other through chat, voice, and video calls.
Before we proceed with the installation, make sure that your Ubuntu Server is up-to-date. You can do this by running the following command:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
Once your Ubuntu Server is up-to-date, you can proceed with the installation of Buddycloud:
Before we begin the installation of Buddycloud, we need to install its dependencies. Run the following command to install the dependencies:
sudo apt install build-essential git python python-dev python-setuptools python-pip
Next, we need to clone the Buddycloud repository into our Ubuntu Server. You can do this by running the following command:
git clone https://github.com/buddycloud/buddycloud-server-python.git
This will create a new directory named buddycloud-server-python in your home directory.
Once the repository is cloned, we can proceed with the installation of Buddycloud. Change to the buddycloud-server-python directory and run the following command:
sudo python setup.py install
This will install Buddycloud on your Ubuntu Server.
Now that Buddycloud is installed, we need to configure it. Open the config.ini file located in the buddycloud-server-python directory:
sudo nano ~/buddycloud-server-python/config.ini
Update the following fields in the config.ini file:
[global]
bare_jid = buddycloud.example.com # Replace with your own domain name
xmpp_host = xmpp.example.com # Replace with your own XMPP server address
secret_key = your-secret-key # Replace with your own secret key
[storage]
backend = postgresql # Use PostgreSQL as the storage backend
uri = postgres://buddycloud:buddycloud@localhost/buddycloud # Replace with your own PostgreSQL database details
Save and close the config.ini file.
We need to create a PostgreSQL database for Buddycloud to use. Run the following command to access the PostgreSQL command line:
sudo -u postgres psql
Once you are in the PostgreSQL command line, create a new database and user for Buddycloud:
CREATE DATABASE buddycloud;
CREATE USER buddycloud WITH PASSWORD 'buddycloud';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE buddycloud TO buddycloud;
Exit the PostgreSQL command line by running \q.
Now that the database is created and the config file is updated, we can start Buddycloud. Change to the buddycloud-server-python directory and run the following command:
sudo bin/buddycloud-runner start
This will start Buddycloud on your Ubuntu Server.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install Buddycloud on Ubuntu Server Latest. You can now connect to Buddycloud and start using it to connect with other people on the platform.
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!
