Xandikos is a CalDAV/CardDAV server that allows users to synchronize their calendar and address book data between different devices. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Xandikos on Fedora Server Latest.
Before you start the installation process, make sure your system meets the following requirements:
First, update your system and install the required dependencies:
sudo dnf update
sudo dnf install python3 python3-devel python3-pip python3-virtualenv libffi-devel libxml2-devel libxslt-devel zlib-devel
Create a virtual environment for Xandikos. This will allow you to install Xandikos within its own environment without affecting the system's packages.
python3 -m venv ~/xandikos
Activate the environment by running:
source ~/xandikos/bin/activate
Clone the Xandikos repository into your system:
git clone https://github.com/jelmer/xandikos.git
Navigate to the xandikos directory:
cd xandikos
Install Xandikos using pip:
pip install .
Start the server by running:
xandikos [OPTIONS] [CONFIG-FILE]
You can specify a configuration file or use the default one. By default, Xandikos will listen on port 8000. You can set a different port by using the --port option:
xandikos --port=8080
If you have enabled the firewall, you need to allow incoming traffic on the port that Xandikos is listening on:
sudo firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=8000/tcp --permanent
sudo firewall-cmd --reload
You have now installed Xandikos on Fedora Server Latest. You can now use Xandikos to synchronize your calendar and address book data between devices. You can find more information on how to configure Xandikos in the official documentation.
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!
