JSXC is a web-based real-time messaging client that allows for encrypted communication. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing JSXC on NixOS, the Linux-based operating system.
sudo nix-channel --update && sudo nixos-rebuild switch
git
package:sudo nix-env -i git
git clone https://github.com/jsxc/jsxc.git
cd jsxc
npm install
sudo npm install -g gulp-cli
sudo npm install --only=dev
Configure the JSXC installation:
config
directory:cp config.js.dist config.js
- Edit the `config.js` file:
vim config.js
- Specify the required parameters, including the XMPP server, BOSH url, and the `fileBaseUrl` parameter.
gulp build
mkdir -p /var/www/jsxc
cp -R build/* /var/www/jsxc/
sudo vim /etc/nixos/nginx.conf
server {
listen 80;
server_name your_server_name_here;
root /var/www/jsxc/;
autoindex on;
include /etc/nixos/mime.types;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri /index.html;
}
}
sudo systemctl restart nginx
You have now successfully installed JSXC on NixOS! You can access it by navigating to your server_name (set in step 10) in a web browser.
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!
