Infinoted is a dedicated server tool for Gobby collaborative text editors. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Infinoted on your Void Linux system.

Prerequisites

• A computer running Void Linux
• sudo privileges for executing commands as root

Steps

1. Open the terminal on your Void Linux system.

2. Update your package list:

   sudo xbps-install -S
   

3. Install the required dependencies:

   sudo xbps-install -y gettext libsoup-devel asio-devel gtkmm3-devel
   

4. Clone the Infinoted repository from GitHub:

   git clone https://github.com/gobby/gobby.git
   

5. Change into the directory where the Infinoted source code resides:

   cd gobby/src/server/infinoted/
   

6. Configure and build the Infinoted server:

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Infinoted on your Void Linux system. You can now use the Infinoted server to host Gobby collaborative text editor sessions.

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!
