The Lounge

This is outdated and only stored for reference - We have official support for this app now; box install thelounge. :::

A frequently asked question we get from customers is if we have support for The Lounge. At the time of writing, we don't officially support it, but it can be installed using a script a community member has written.

To follow this guide, you will need to SSH into your server. If you need help with this, please refer to the how do I connect article.

import Community from "../snippets/community.mdx";

Installation​

This installer will use your existing username and a password of your choice to secure The Lounge. Please consider reading the script before running it. The installer will output a port number with how to access The Lounge install on completion. Please remember this number.

bash <(curl -sL https://github.com/brettpetch/hosted-scripts/raw/master/lounge.sh)

If something goes wrong during your install, please consider checking the logs. You may find them by running the following:

less -r +G ~/.logs/lounge.log

These can be helpful in cases where you need to see the output from installation. ::: On first run, go to https://<hostname.io>:<yourportnumber> to access The Lounge. This should ask you for a login. You will also receive a warning about SSL, which can be ignored safely.

Controlling the Systemd Service​

systemctl --user start lounge

Troubleshooting​

I Can't Remember my Port Number​

Please run grep port: ~/.thelounge/config.js

Your port number will be the first number.

Viewing logs​

tip

For application specific logs, consider running the following:

You can exit less by pressing q at any point.
