In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to install Notifo on Void Linux. Notifo is an open-source notification hub that allows users to receive real-time notifications on their devices.
Before installing Notifo, we need to install some dependencies required by the application.
First, we need to update the package list:
sudo xbps-install -Suy
Then, we can install the dependencies:
sudo xbps-install -y git make gcc pkg-config libssl-dev
Now that we have our dependencies installed, we can proceed to clone and build Notifo.
First, create a new directory where we will clone the Notifo repository:
mkdir ~/notifo
cd ~/notifo
Next, clone the Notifo repository from GitHub:
git clone https://github.com/notifo-io/notifo.git
Change the directory to the cloned repository:
cd notifo
Finally, build and install Notifo:
make && sudo make install
After installing Notifo, we need to configure it to run on our system.
Create a new configuration file at /etc/notifo/config.yaml:
sudo nano /etc/notifo/config.yaml
And paste the following YAML data into it:
token: "YOUR-API-TOKEN"
secret: "YOUR-API-SECRET"
apikey: "YOUR-API-KEY"
You will need to replace the YOUR-API-TOKEN, YOUR-API-SECRET and YOUR-API-KEY fields with your own API token, secret, and key. You can obtain these credentials by creating a new Notifo account and generating an API key.
Finally, we can start the Notifo service:
sudo systemctl start notifo
We can also enable the Notifo service to start at boot:
sudo systemctl enable notifo
And that's it! Notifo is now installed and running on your Void Linux system. You can now configure your applications to send notifications to Notifo and receive them on your devices.
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!
