This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing SabreDAV on Alpine Linux Latest. SabreDAV is a popular open-source WebDAV server that allows users to share files across different operating systems.
Before we begin, ensure that your system meets the following requirements:
Before installing SabreDAV, update your system to ensure that all system packages are up-to-date.
$ apk update
Next, install the packages that SabreDAV depends on. Use the following command to install the necessary packages:
$ apk add php php-fpm nginx composer git php-xml php-mbstring php-zip php-curl php-adodb php \
php-simplexml php-xpath php-tokenizer php-common php-dom php-xmlwriter php-cli php-gd php-pdo \
php-pdo_mysql php-session php-json zlib zlib-dev
Now, download SabreDAV using git. Use the following command to download the latest version:
$ git clone https://github.com/sabre-io/dav.git /var/www/html/sabredav
Change directory to the SabreDAV root directory and use composer to install the dependencies.
$ cd /var/www/html/sabredav
$ composer install
Configure SabreDAV by creating a new configuration file. Use the following command to create a new configuration file:
$ cp /var/www/html/sabredav/config/config.sample.php /var/www/html/sabredav/config/config.php
Edit the configuration file and set the necessary parameters for your server by using a text editor of your choice.
$ nano /var/www/html/sabredav/config/config.php
SabreDAV needs a web server to be accessible. In this tutorial, we will use nginx.
Use the following command to create a new nginx configuration file:
$ nano /etc/nginx/conf.d/sabredav.conf
Add the following configuration to the newly created file:
server {
listen 80;
server_name localhost;
root /var/www/html/sabredav;
index index.php index.html;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ @webdav;
}
location @webdav {
fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php8.0-fpm.sock;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root/index.php;
}
}
Note: change the PHP version in the fastcgi_pass line if necessary.
Restart nginx service to apply the new configuration:
$ nginx -s reload
Open your web browser and access your server by navigating to the following URL:
http://localhost/
If everything is configured correctly, you should see the SabreDAV login page.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed SabreDAV on Alpine Linux Latest. With SabreDAV, you can easily share files across different operating systems.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
