Installing Dudle on EndeavourOS

Dudle is a simple online scheduling application that can be used to schedule appointments, events, and polls. To install Dudle on your EndeavourOS system, follow the steps below:

Step 1: Install Dependencies

Dudle requires a few dependencies to be installed before it can run properly. You can install them using the following command:

sudo pacman -S php php-fpm php-gd php-pgsql php-intl nginx postgresql

Step 2: Download and Extract Dudle

You can download the latest version of Dudle from their Github repository using the following command:

wget https://github.com/kellerben/dudle/archive/v1.2.0.tar.gz

Extract the downloaded archive using the following command:

tar -xzvf v1.2.0.tar.gz

Move the extracted folder to the /var/www directory:

sudo mv dudle-1.2.0 /var/www/dudle

Step 3: Create a Database and User

Dudle requires a database to store its data. You can create a database and user for Dudle using the following commands:

sudo -u postgres createdb dudle
sudo -u postgres createuser -P dudle

When prompted, enter a password for the user.

Step 4: Configure Nginx

Create a new virtual host configuration file for Dudle:

sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/dudle

Copy and paste the following configuration into the file:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name example.com; # Replace with your domain name
    root /var/www/dudle;
    index index.php;

    location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
    }

    location ~ \.php$ {
        include fastcgi_params;
        fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php-fpm/php-fpm.sock;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
    }

    location @fallback {
        rewrite ^(.*)$ /index.php;
    }

    location ~ /\.ht {
        deny all;
    }
}

Replace example.com with your own domain name or IP address.

Save and close the file.

Create a symbolic link to the site's configuration file in the sites-enabled directory:

sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/dudle /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/dudle

Restart Nginx for the changes to take effect:

sudo systemctl restart nginx

Step 5: Configure Dudle

Copy the config.example.php file to config.php:

sudo cp /var/www/dudle/config.example.php /var/www/dudle/config.php

Edit the config.php file:

sudo nano /var/www/dudle/config.php

Update the following settings in the file:

define('DEBUG', false);
define('BASE_URL', 'http://example.com'); # Replace with your own domain name or IP address.
define('DB_TYPE', 'pgsql');
define('DB_NAME', 'dudle');
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
define('DB_PORT', 5432);
define('DB_USER', 'dudle');
define('DB_PASS', 'password'); # Replace with the password you created for the database user.

Save and close the file.

Step 6: Test Dudle

Open your web browser and go to http://example.com (replace example.com with your own domain name or IP address).

You should see the Dudle login page. Enter the default login credentials:

Username: admin Password: admin

You will be prompted to change the admin password.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Dudle on your EndeavourOS system.

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!
