<b>Install KiwiIRC on Debian</b> |
|
|
|
A some people know, I use IRC a lot. Especially in combination with |
|
ZNC, a bouncer for all my IRC connections. But sometimes you need an |
|
IRC client in a browser with just your own settings. Therefore, how |
|
to install the fantastic webbased IRC client Kiwiirc on a Debian based |
|
server. |
|
|
|
I presume you already have git working. Otherwise, install it |
|
(apt-get install git). Fist we need a working server with node.js. So |
|
let’s install all the software as root: |
|
|
|
apt-get install npm |
|
|
|
The problem is that Debian uses the ‘nodejs’ binary, but the whole rest |
|
of the world called this file ‘node’. So we have to link it to the |
|
right name before starting the installer. |
|
|
|
ln -s /usr/bin/nodejs /usr/bin/node |
|
|
|
After installing all the software, we could become the user with should |
|
run KiwiIRC. Probably you wouldn;t want to run this as root! So find a |
|
nice place to store the software (/home/kiwiirc if the user is called |
|
kiwiirc) and make a git clone of the software tree. |
|
|
|
git clone https://github.com/prawnsalad/KiwiIRC.git && cd KiwiIRC |
|
|
|
I ran into a problem with ZNC. It wouldn’t connect to ZNC, but it |
|
should. After upgrading from stable to the development, it worked. If |
|
you have no problems at all, stay with the stable branch. |
|
|
|
git checkout development |
|
|
|
Copy the config file, edit it to your prefecences and do a rebuild. |
|
This wil generate all you needed files. Remember that after changing |
|
the configfile, you have to run the build script! |
|
|
|
cp config.example.js config.js |
|
nano config.js |
|
./kiwi build |
|
|
|
After all this trouble, you can start your webbased IRC client! The |
|
first is for starting in the background, the second if you want to run |
|
it in the forground, (debuging) |
|
|
|
./kiwi start |
|
./kiwi -f start |
|
|
|
Happy chatting!
