Xandikos is a DAV (WebDAV/CardDAV/CalDAV) server that allows you to sync and share calendars, contacts and tasks. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Xandikos on the latest version of Fedora CoreOS.
Before you begin, please make sure that you have the following:
Ensure that your system is up-to-date by running the following command:
$ sudo dnf update
Next, install the necessary dependencies by running the following command:
$ sudo dnf install python3-pip python3-virtualenv
Create a new virtual environment for Xandikos by running the following command:
$ python3 -m venv ~/xandikos-env
This command will create a new virtual environment directory called xandikos-env in your home directory.
Activate the virtual environment by running the following command:
$ source ~/xandikos-env/bin/activate
Install the latest version of Xandikos by running the following command:
$ pip3 install xandikos
Create a new configuration file for Xandikos by running the following command:
$ xandikos mkconfig > ~/xandikos.conf
This command will create a new configuration file called xandikos.conf in your home directory. You can edit this file to configure your Xandikos server according to your needs.
$ vi ~/xandikos.conf
Run Xandikos by running the following command:
$ xandikos run ~/xandikos.conf
This command will start the Xandikos server and listen on port 5232. You can access the Xandikos web interface by visiting http://<your-server-ip>:5232.
Note: If you want to run Xandikos in the background, add the --daemon option to the command:
$ xandikos run ~/xandikos.conf --daemon
You have successfully installed and configured Xandikos on the latest version of Fedora CoreOS. With Xandikos, you can easily sync and share your calendars, contacts and tasks with other devices and users.
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!
