Tuber is an open-source self-hosted video chat system, which allows users to create rooms and have video conferences with others. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Tuber on Ubuntu Server Latest.
Before installing Tuber, make sure that you have the following prerequisites on your Ubuntu Server Latest:
The first step is to download the Tuber package from the official website. You can download the latest version of Tuber from the following link:
https://github.com/trailofbits/tuber/releases/latest
Download the package and extract it to a directory where you want to install Tuber.
Next, we need to create a MySQL database for Tuber. You can create a new database using the following command:
mysql -u root -p
Enter your MySQL root password, then execute the following commands inside the MySQL shell to create a new database:
CREATE DATABASE tuber;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON tuber.* TO 'tuberuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'yourpassword';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT;
Remember to replace 'yourpassword' with a strong and secure password.
Now, we need to configure Tuber with your MySQL database credentials. Navigate to the directory where you extracted the Tuber package and edit the config.php
file:
cd /path/to/tuber/
sudo nano config.php
Edit the following lines with your MySQL database credentials:
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
define('DB_NAME', 'tuber');
define('DB_USER', 'tuberuser');
define('DB_PASS', 'yourpassword');
Save and close the file.
Composer is a dependency manager for PHP, and we need to install it to run Tuber. Run the following commands to install Composer:
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
sudo mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer
Now, we need to install the dependencies required by Tuber using Composer. Run the following command:
composer install
This will install all the required dependencies for Tuber. Once the installation is complete, you can start Tuber by running the following command:
php bin/run.php
You can now access Tuber by opening your web browser and entering the following URL:
http://yourserverip:8080
You will see the Tuber login page. Enter your username and password that you set in the config.php
file earlier, and you will be logged in to the Tuber dashboard.
Tuber is now installed on your Ubuntu Server Latest. You can create video chat rooms and invite others to join. Enjoy self-hosted video conferencing with Tuber!
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!
