Misskey is a decentralized social network with an emphasis on user privacy and customizability. It is written in Node.js and is available for installation on Void Linux.
In this tutorial, we will go through the steps to install Misskey on Void Linux.
Before we start with the installation of Misskey, we need to ensure that our system meets certain prerequisites:
The first step is to install the dependencies required for Misskey. To do so, we will use the following command:
sudo xbps-install -S git build-essential redis
Next, we need to clone the Misskey repository from its official GitHub repository. We will use Git for this purpose:
git clone https://github.com/syuilo/misskey.git
Navigate to the misskey directory and install the dependencies using NPM:
cd misskey
npm install
Misskey requires some configuration before it can be used. We need to copy the example configuration file to a new file:
cp config/example.yml config/production.yml
Next, we need to edit the production.yml file and configure the settings according to our requirements.
nano config/production.yml
Make the necessary changes to the file and save it.
Misskey requires Redis server to be running. To start Redis server, run the following command:
sudo systemctl start redis
Finally, start the Misskey server using the following command:
npm run start
