How to Install JSXC on OpenBSD
In this tutorial, we will be explaining how to install JSXC on OpenBSD. JSXC is a web-based chat client that runs on the client-side; it is compatible with XMPP servers and allows users to communicate with each other in real-time.
Prerequisites
Before beginning the installation process, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
- An OpenBSD server running on your computer.
- An SSH client installed on your system.
Installation Steps
The first step is to download the JSXC package. You can download the package from the official websiteat https://jsxc.org.
Once you have downloaded the package, extract it to a location of your choice. You can extract it using the following command in your terminal:
tar zxvf jsxc-4.1.0.tar.gzNext, navigate to the extracted directory using the following command:
cd jsxc-4.1.0Once you are in the properly extracted directory, run the following command to install the JSXC package:
npm installAfter installation, modify the configuration settings in the configuration file that is located under the following path:
src/config.jsYou will need to modify the following lines:
xmpp: { url: 'wss://your-xmpp-server:8443/xmpp-websocket', domain: 'example.com', resource: 'JSXC' }Change the
urlanddomainvalues to match your own XMPP server's configuration.Once the configuration is set up, build the package using the following command:
npm run buildAfter building, you should see a dist directory in your project directory. Copy this directory to the location where you want to serve the files for the JSXC client.
cp -R dist /var/www/htdocs/jsxcFinally, you will need to configure your web server to serve the JSXC files. For example, if you are using Apache, add the following configuration snippet to your
httpd.conffile:Alias /jsxc /var/www/htdocs/jsxc <Directory /var/www/htdocs/jsxc> Require all granted AllowOverride None </Directory>This will configure Apache to serve the JSXC files from
/var/www/htdocs/jsxcon thehttp://yourdomain.com/jsxc.
That's it! You have successfully installed and configured JSXC on your OpenBSD server. You can now use JSXC to add a chat interface to your web application.
