How to Install Soketi on Arch Linux

Soketi is an open-source, multi-platform application that lets you securely connect to remote servers, websites, and services. In this tutorial, we will go through the steps required to install Soketi on Arch Linux.

Prerequisites

Before we proceed, please make sure you have the following:

• An Arch Linux system with an active internet connection
• A user account with sudo or root access privileges

Installation

To begin, we need to install the git package on our system. Open a terminal emulator and run the following command:

sudo pacman -S git

Next, we need to clone the Soketi repository from GitHub. Run the following command to clone the repo:

git clone https://github.com/soketi/soketi.git

This will download the Soketi code into a new directory called soketi. Navigate to this directory:

cd soketi

Now we need to run the make command to install and set up Soketi. Run the following command:

sudo make install

This will install Soketi and its dependencies to your system. Once the installation is complete, you can start the Soketi service by running:

sudo systemctl start soketi

You can also enable Soketi to start automatically at boot time by running:

sudo systemctl enable soketi

Configuration

By default, Soketi listens on port 3000 for incoming connections. If you want to change this, you can edit the soketi.service file located in /etc/systemd/system/soketi.service. Look for the following line:

ExecStart=/usr/bin/soketi --port 3000

Change the 3000 to the port number of your choice and save the file.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured Soketi on your Arch Linux system. You can now use Soketi to securely connect to remote servers and services. To learn more about Soketi and its features, visit their official website at https://soketi.app/.
