In this tutorial, we will be going over the steps to install Pump.io on Alpine Linux Latest.
Before starting with the installation of Pump.io, you need to ensure that you have the following prerequisites:
Pump.io requires Node.js to be installed on your system. To install Node.js on Alpine Linux Latest, execute the following command:
$ sudo apk add nodejs
Once Node.js is installed, you can proceed with the installation of Pump.io on your system. To install Pump.io, execute the following command:
$ sudo npm install -g pump.io
After installing Pump.io, you need to configure it to use your server's hostname or IP address. To do this, open the Pump.io configuration file in your favorite text editor:
$ sudo nano /usr/lib/node_modules/pump.io/etc/pump.io.json
In the file, find the "hostname" field and replace "127.0.0.1" with your server's hostname or IP address:
"hostname": "yourservername.com",
Save the changes and exit the text editor.
With the configuration complete, you can start the Pump.io server using the following command:
$ pump
This command will start the Pump.io server in the foreground. If you want to run the server in the background, use the following command:
$ sudo daemon --user pump --chdir /usr/lib/node_modules/pump.io /usr/bin/env node bin/pump
This command starts the Pump.io server as a daemon process running in the background.
With the Pump.io server running, you can now access it by navigating to http://yourservername.com:8000 in your web browser.
By following the steps in this tutorial, you should now have successfully installed and configured Pump.io on Alpine Linux Latest. You can now start using Pump.io to share content and interact with others on the decentralized social network.
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!
