In this tutorial, we will walk you through the process of installing Framadate on Debian Latest.
Framadate is a popular open-source online survey and poll tool that allows users to schedule meetings, make polls or surveys, and collect responses in a simple and secure manner.
To install the latest version of Framadate, you need to make sure that your system is up-to-date with the latest package repository. You can update the package repository by running the following command:
sudo apt update
Framadate requires some additional packages to be installed before it can be installed on your system. You can install all the required packages by running the following command:
sudo apt install apache2 mariadb-server php php-pear php-mysql php-curl wget unzip
To download and extract the latest version of Framadate, run the following command:
sudo wget https://framagit.org/framasoft/framadate/framadate/repository/archive.zip
Once the download is complete, you can extract the archive by running the following command:
sudo unzip archive.zip -d /var/www/html
Framadate requires a database to store its data. You can create a new database and a new user for Framadate by running the following commands:
sudo mysql -u root
CREATE DATABASE framadate_db;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON framadate_db.* TO 'framadate_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT;
To configure Apache for Framadate, you need to create a new virtual host configuration file:
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/framadate.conf
and paste the following configuration:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/framadate-master
ServerName example.com
<Directory /var/www/html/framadate-master/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
Save and close the file. Then, enable the virtual host configuration and restart Apache:
sudo a2ensite framadate.conf
sudo systemctl restart apache2
Once Framadate is downloaded, extracted and configured, you are ready to run the installation script:
sudo php /var/www/html/framadate-master/app/install/createdb.php
This script will set up a new database for Framadate and will ask you some configuration questions. Answer the questions according to your needs.
After successfully installing Framadate, you can access it by visiting your server’s IP address or domain name via a web browser:
http://server_domain_name_or_IP
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Framadate on Debian Latest. You can now start using Framadate for your online surveys, polls, and meeting scheduling.
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!
