How to Install Calagator on Fedora Server Latest

Calagator is an open source calendar aggregator that can be used to create events and promote them locally. It is built on Ruby on Rails and requires a web server to host it. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Calagator on Fedora Server Latest.

Before we begin, make sure that:

• You have a Fedora Server Latest instance up and running with root access.
• You have access to the internet to download the necessary packages.

Now let's get started!

Step 1: Install Prerequisites

Calagator requires many dependencies to work correctly. We need to install them before installing Calagator. Open the terminal and run the following command to update the repository information:

sudo dnf update

Next, run the following command to install the required packages:

sudo dnf install git-core ruby ruby-devel rubygem-bundler sqlite-devel nodejs postgresql-devel

Wait for the installation to complete.

Step 2: Clone the Calagator Repository

Now that we have installed the required dependencies, it's time to clone the Calagator repository. Change the directory to the root directory of your Fedora Server Latest instance by running the following command:

cd /root

Then, clone the Calagator repository to your local machine using the following command:

git clone https://github.com/calagator/calagator.git

Wait for the clone to complete.

Step 3: Install Gems

After cloning the repository, we need to install the required Ruby gems for Calagator. Navigate to the Calagator repository directory by running the following command:

cd /root/calagator

Then, install the required gems by running:

bundle install

Wait for the gems to install.

Step 4: Prepare the Database

To store and manage the events in Calagator, we need to create and prepare the database. Run the following command to prepare the database:

bin/rake db:create db:migrate

Step 5: Install and Configure Nginx

We need to install and configure the Nginx web server to host Calagator. Run the following command to install Nginx:

sudo dnf install nginx

After installation, we need to configure the Nginx server block. Run the following command to create a new Nginx server block for Calagator:

sudo vi /etc/nginx/conf.d/calagator.conf

Add the following configuration to the file:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name yourdomain.com;

    root /root/calagator/public;
    index index.html;
    access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log;

    location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
    }

    location ~* ^/assets/ {
        add_header Cache-Control "public, max-age=31536000, immutable";
        gzip_static on;
    }

    error_page 404 /404.html;
    error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;

    location = /50x.html {
        root /usr/share/nginx/html;
    }
}

Replace yourdomain.com with your domain name. Save and close the file using the :wq command.

Step 6: Start the Nginx Server

After configuring the Nginx server block, we need to restart the Nginx server to apply the changes. Run the following command to start the Nginx server:

sudo systemctl start nginx

Step 7: Access Calagator

Now that everything is set up, we can access Calagator in a web browser. Open the web browser and navigate to http://yourdomain.com. You should see the Calagator homepage.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Calagator on Fedora Server Latest. You can now create events and promote them locally using Calagator.

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!
