SabreDAV is an open-source WebDAV server that allows you to share files across different platforms. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation of SabreDAV on Arch Linux.
The first step is to install Apache and PHP. You can do this by running the following command in your terminal:
sudo pacman -S apache php php-apache
To install SabreDAV on Arch Linux, we will use Composer, a dependency manager for PHP. Follow these steps to install Composer on your machine:
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
sudo mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer
composer --version
Once Composer is installed, you can use it to install SabreDAV. Run the following command in your terminal:
composer require sabre/dav ~3.3
Now that SabreDAV is installed, we need to configure Apache to use it. Follow these steps:
sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
LoadModule php7_module modules/libphp7.so
Alias /dav /path/to/your/project/vendor/sabre/dav/lib/htdocs
<Location /dav>
Dav On
AuthType Basic
AuthName "SabreDAV"
AuthUserFile /etc/httpd/conf/sabredav.htpasswd
Require valid-user
</Location>
We need to create an authentication file for SabreDAV. Run the following command to create the file:
sudo htpasswd -c /etc/httpd/conf/sabredav.htpasswd username
Replace "username" with your desired username for SabreDAV.
After making changes to the Apache configuration file, we need to restart Apache for the changes to take effect. Run the following command to restart Apache:
sudo systemctl restart httpd
Now you can test SabreDAV by opening a web browser and navigating to http://localhost/dav/
. You should be prompted to enter your username and password. Enter the credentials you created earlier, and you should see the SabreDAV interface.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed SabreDAV on Arch Linux. You can now use it to share files across different platforms.
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!
