In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps to install yarn.social on Void Linux. yarn.social is a peer-to-peer social network that is designed to be decentralized and user-owned.
Before we get started, make sure you have the following:
yarn.social is built on Node.js, so we need to install it first.
Open a terminal and run the following commands:
sudo xbps-install -S nodejs
This will install the latest version of Node.js from the official Void Linux repositories.
yarn.social uses Yarn as its package manager. To install Yarn, run the following command:
sudo xbps-install -S yarn
This will install the latest version of Yarn from the official Void Linux repositories.
Now, we need to clone the yarn.social repository. To do this, run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/yarnsocial/yarn.git
This will clone the repository to your current directory.
Once you have cloned the repository, navigate to the yarn directory and install the dependencies by running the following command:
cd yarn
yarn install
This will install all the required dependencies.
Now that we have installed all the dependencies, we can start the server by running the following command:
yarn run dev
This will start the server and you should be able to access yarn.social by opening a web browser and navigating to http://localhost:3000.
That's it! You now have yarn.social up and running on your Void Linux system. Enjoy using a decentralized social network that respects your privacy and data ownership.
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!
