Calagator is an open-source calendaring and event management application. It is widely used for organizing tech events, conferences, and meetups. In this tutorial, we will learn how to install Calagator on Arch Linux.
Before starting the installation process, make sure that your system meets the following prerequisites:
Follow the below steps to install Calagator on Arch Linux:
Calagator is a Ruby on Rails application, so you need to install Ruby and PostgreSQL on your system by running the following command in your terminal:
sudo pacman -S ruby postgresql
To install Calagator, run the following commands on your Arch Linux terminal:
git clone https://github.com/calagator/calagator.git
cd calagator
bundle install
By default, Calagator is configured to use SQLite as the database engine. If you want to use PostgreSQL, create a new PostgreSQL database and user, and edit the config/database.yml file to match the following:
development:
adapter: postgresql
encoding: unicode
database: calagator_development
username: <%= ENV.fetch("POSTGRES_USER") { 'calagator' } %>
password: <%= ENV.fetch("POSTGRES_PASSWORD") { 'password' } %>
host: <%= ENV.fetch("POSTGRES_HOST") { 'localhost' } %>
Run the following command to prepare the database:
rake db:create db:migrate
Start the Calagator server by running the following command:
rails server
The Calagator server should now be running on http://localhost:3000.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Calagator on Arch Linux. You can now easily manage your events and organize your calendars using Calagator.
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!
