Pump.io is a social networking platform that allows users to create their own social media server for personal or organizational use. In this tutorial, we will cover the steps required to install Pump.io on Void Linux.
Before we get started with the installation process, we need to make sure that the following prerequisites are met:
Before installing any new software, it is always a good idea to update your system to ensure that you have the latest packages available. To do this, open up a terminal and run the command:
sudo xbps-install -Suy
Pump.io has a few dependencies that need to be installed before we can proceed with the installation. To install these dependencies, run the following command:
sudo xbps-install -y autoconf automake libtool make gcc g++ python openssl-devel libcap-devel pkg-config zlib-devel uuid-devel
Once all the dependencies are installed, we can proceed with the installation of Pump.io. To do this, run the following commands in your terminal:
git clone https://github.com/pump-io/pump.io.git
cd pump.io
npm install
After installing Pump.io, we need to configure it to work with our server. To do this, we need to create a configuration file. Copy the example configuration file using the command:
cp config.json.example config.json
Then, open the config.json file in your preferred text editor and modify the necessary configurations to customize your Pump.io server to fit your needs.
Once the configuration is complete, we can start the Pump.io server using the following command:
./bin/pump
You should now be able to access your Pump.io server by navigating to http://localhost:8000 in your web browser.
In this tutorial, we walked through the process of installing Pump.io on Void Linux. Now that you have Pump.io installed and running, you can create your own social media server and start sharing content with others.
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!
