How to Install Infinoted on Manjaro

Infinoted is a dedicated server for Gobby, a collaborative text editor. Infinoted can be installed on a Manjaro system using the following steps:

Step 1: Install Dependencies

Before installing Infinoted, you need to ensure that all the necessary dependencies are in place. These dependencies can be installed using the following command:

sudo pacman -S git make gcc python python-gobject vala intltool docbook-xsl gtk-doc

Step 2: Download and Build Infinoted

Next, download the source code for Infinoted from its GitHub repository using Git:

git clone https://github.com/gobby/infinoted.git

Once the repository has been cloned, navigate to the infinoted directory and use the make command to build the software:

cd infinoted

Step 3: Install Infinoted

After building Infinoted, you can install it using the following command:

sudo make install

This command will install Infinoted to the /usr/local/bin directory on your system.

Step 4: Configure Infinoted

After installing Infinoted, you need to create a configuration file for it. You can create a configuration file using a text editor of your choice:

sudo nano /etc/infinoted.conf

In this configuration file, you should include the following information:

[Infinoted]
address = 127.0.0.1
port = 6523
certfile = /etc/ssl/certs/infinoted.pem
keyfile = /etc/ssl/private/infinoted.pem

Here, you can modify the address and port parameters to set the IP address and port number that Infinoted should listen on. You should also set the paths for the SSL certificate and key files.

Step 5: Start Infinoted

Finally, you can start Infinoted using the following command:

sudo /usr/local/bin/infinoted /etc/infinoted.conf

This will start the Infinoted server and begin listening for connections on the specified IP address and port number.
