Xandikos is a CalDAV and CardDAV server that allows you to synchronize your calendar and contacts data between devices. This tutorial will guide you through the installation process of Xandikos on Clear Linux.
The first step is to install some packages required for Xandikos to work. Open a terminal and run the following command:
sudo swupd bundle-add python3-basic
This will install the Python 3 programming language and some basic libraries.
Now, we will download the latest version of Xandikos from its official GitHub repository. Run the following commands to download and install Xandikos:
git clone https://github.com/jelmer/xandikos.git
cd xandikos
python3 setup.py install
This will download and install the latest version of Xandikos on your system.
Xandikos comes with a sample configuration file that you can use to configure the server. Copy the sample configuration file to the /etc directory, rename it to xandikos.conf, and edit it:
sudo cp examples/xandikos.conf /etc/
sudo nano /etc/xandikos.conf
In the configuration file, you can specify the path where Xandikos will store its data, the TCP/IP address and port where it will listen to incoming requests, and other settings.
After configuring Xandikos, you can start the server by running the following command:
xandikos
This will start Xandikos and make it listen to incoming requests. To keep Xandikos running in the background, you can use a tool such as systemd to create a service.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured Xandikos on Clear Linux. You can now connect to the server using a CalDAV or CardDAV client, and start synchronizing your contacts and calendar data.
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!
