Framadate is a free and open-source online service that allows users to schedule events, plan appointments, and conduct surveys. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Framadate on Clear Linux Latest.
Before proceeding with the installation, make sure that you have the following:
The first thing you need to do is to update your Clear Linux system. This will ensure that you have the latest updates and security patches. To update your Clear Linux system, open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo swupd update
Framadate requires a LAMP stack (Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP) to run. If you have not yet installed LAMP stack on your Clear Linux system, run the following command:
sudo swupd bundle-add lamp-server
To download the Framadate source code, you need to install Git on your Clear Linux system. Run the following command to install Git:
sudo swupd bundle-add git
Once Git is installed, clone the Framadate repository using the following command:
git clone https://framagit.org/framasoft/framadate/framadate.git
This will download the Framadate source code to your Clear Linux system.
Framadate requires several dependencies to be installed on your Clear Linux system. Run the following commands to install these dependencies:
sudo swupd bundle-add php-basic
sudo swupd bundle-add php-mysql
sudo swupd bundle-add php-gd
sudo swupd bundle-add php-curl
sudo swupd bundle-add php-xml
By default, Apache is installed and enabled on Clear Linux. However, you need to configure it to run Framadate. Open the Apache configuration file in a text editor:
sudo nano /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
Add the following lines at the end of the file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/framadate/
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
<Directory /var/www/framadate/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Save the file and exit.
Framadate uses a MySQL database to store data. Create a database and a database user for Framadate:
mysql -e "CREATE DATABASE framadate;"
mysql -e "CREATE USER 'framadate_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'framadate_password';"
mysql -e "GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON framadate.* TO 'framadate_user'@'localhost';"
Replace 'framadate_user' and 'framadate_password' with your own values.
Copy the configuration file to the Framadate directory:
cd framadate
cp app/inc/config.php.sample app/inc/config.php
Open the config.php file in a text editor:
nano app/inc/config.php
Update the following lines in the config.php file with your own values:
$config['db'] = array(
'type' => 'mysqli',
'host' => 'localhost',
'port' => '3306',
'username' => '[username]',
'password' => '[password]',
'name' => '[database_name]'
);
Replace [username], [password], and [database_name] with your own values.
Now that Framadate is configured, run the installation script:
php app/inc/install.php
This will install Framadate on your Clear Linux system.
You can now access Framadate using a web browser. Open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost/framadate/. You should see the Framadate home page.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Framadate on Clear Linux. You can now use Framadate to schedule events, plan appointments, and conduct surveys.
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!
