How to Install Dudle on Clear Linux Latest

Dudle is an open-source scheduling application that allows you to schedule meetings, polls, and events. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Dudle on Clear Linux Latest.

Prerequisites

Before proceeding with this tutorial, please make sure you have the following prerequisites:

• A running Clear Linux Latest server with sudo privileges
• An internet connection to download the necessary packages

Step 1: Update the System

Before installing Dudle, it is crucial to update the Clear Linux package repository with the latest version. To update the system, run the following command in the terminal:

sudo swupd update

Step 2: Install Dependencies

Dudle requires several packages to work correctly. We need to install these packages before installing Dudle. Run the following command in the terminal to install the necessary packages:

sudo swupd bundle-add apache php73-gd git

The above command will install Apache as the web server and PHP as the scripting language for Dudle. The git package will enable us to download the Dudle source code from GitHub.

Step 3: Download and Install Dudle

With the necessary packages installed, we can now download and install Dudle from GitHub.

1. Run the following command to navigate to the Apache DocumentRoot directory:

   cd /var/www/html/
   

2. Download the Dudle source code from GitHub using the following command:

   sudo git clone https://github.com/kellerben/dudle.git
   

3. Rename the cloned directory:

   sudo mv dudle/ mydudle/
   

4. Set the appropriate permissions on the mydudle directory:

   sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/mydudle/
   

   This command ensures that the Apache web server can read and write to the mydudle directory.

5. Restart the Apache web server to apply the new changes:

   sudo systemctl restart httpd
   

Step 4: Access Dudle Web Interface

Now that Dudle is installed, you can access its web interface by opening your web browser and entering your server's IP address or hostname followed by /mydudle/.

For example, if your server's IP address is 192.168.0.2, you would enter http://192.168.0.2/mydudle/ in your web browser's address bar.

You should now see the Dudle login page. You can log in using the default username admin and password admin.

Congratulations! You've successfully installed and accessed Dudle on Clear Linux Latest.
