Syndie is a decentralized communication platform that allows users to securely share information and communicate with each other without a central authority. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Syndie on Void Linux.
Before we get started, ensure you have the following:
The first step is to update the Void Linux system to the latest package versions.
sudo xbps-install -Suy
Once the update is complete, reboot the system to apply the changes.
Syndie requires Java to run on the system. We will install the latest version of Java using the following command:
sudo xbps-install -S openjdk
Syndie requires a dependency called I2P Router to function. I2P Router is an anonymous network layer that allows for secure and private communication.
We will install the latest version of the I2P Router using the following command:
sudo xbps-install -S i2p
Once the installation is complete, start the I2P Router service:
sudo ln -s /etc/sv/i2p /var/service/
Go to the Syndie download page (https://syndie.de/download.html) and download the latest version of the software.
wget https://syndie.de/releases/syndie_1.108.tar.gz
Once the download is complete, extract the contents of the downloaded package:
tar xvzf syndie_1.108.tar.gz
Then, navigate to the extracted directory and install Syndie:
cd syndie_1.108
sudo ./syndie.sh install
To start Syndie, run the following command:
./syndie.sh start
Syndie should start without any issues.
You have now successfully installed Syndie on Void Linux. Syndie is a robust and secure decentralized communication platform that is perfect for those who want to communicate and share information securely without a central authority.
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!
