How to Install Infinoted on Debian Latest
Infinoted is a server software to collaborate on text documents with multiple users in real-time. This tutorial will guide you through the installation of Infinoted on Debian Latest.
Prerequisites
Before we start, make sure that you have administrative privileges on your Debian system and that you have installed the following dependencies:
- sudo
- wget
- build-essential
- libssl-dev
- libglib2.0-dev
- libgcrypt20-dev
- libxml2-dev
Step 1: Download the Source Code
The first step is to download Infinoted's source code from its Github repository. To do so, use the following command:
$ sudo wget https://github.com/gobby/gobby/archive/master.zip
After the download is complete, extract the archive with the following command:
$ sudo unzip master.zip
Step 2: Build and Install Infinoted
Now that we have the source code, we need to build and install Infinoted. To do so, navigate to the extracted directory and run the following commands:
$ cd gobby-master/infinoted
$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo make install
This will build and install Infinoted on your system.
Step 3: Configure Infinoted
After the installation, we need to configure Infinoted. Open the configuration file located at /usr/local/etc/infinoted.conf with your preferred text editor and set the following options:
[SMTP]
enabled = yes
server = smtp.server.com
port = 587
username = yourusername
password = yourpassword
from-address = [email protected]
tls = yes
[LDAP]
enabled = no
base-dn = dc=example,dc=com
bind-dn = cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com
bind-password = password
user-search-base = ou=people,dc=example,dc=com
user-search-filter = (&(objectClass=person)(uid=%s))
group-search-base = ou=groups,dc=example,dc=com
group-search-filter = (&(objectClass=groupOfNames)(member=%d))
This will enable email notifications and configure LDAP authentication if needed.
Step 4: Start the Infinoted Service
Finally, start the Infinoted service with the following command:
$ sudo systemctl start infinoted
You can check the status of the service with the following command:
$ sudo systemctl status infinoted
Conclusion
Infinoted is now installed and running on your Debian system. You can use it to collaborate on text documents with multiple users in real-time by connecting to the server using a compatible client such as Gobby or Coquette.
