AgenDAV is an open source web-based calendar and contact management application that allows you to manage your daily tasks and appointments from one central location. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install AgenDAV on FreeBSD Latest.
Before starting with the installation, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:
Firstly, you need to download the latest version of AgenDAV from the official website. You can use the following command to download the AgenDAV source code:
wget https://github.com/agendav/agendav/archive/master.zip
Once the download is completed, extract the files using the following command:
unzip master.zip
Before installing AgenDAV, you need to install some required dependencies. Run the following command to install the dependencies:
pkg install php72-xml php72-json php72-mbstring php72-zip php72-gd php72-openssl graphviz
Next, you need to configure the Apache web server to host the AgenDAV application. Create a new virtual host configuration file for AgenDAV using the following command:
nano /usr/local/etc/httpd/conf/Includes/agendav.conf
Add the following code to the configuration file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName example.com
DocumentRoot /path/to/agendav-master
<Directory "/path/to/agendav-master">
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Replace example.com with your domain name and /path/to/agendav-master with the actual path to the AgenDAV installation directory.
Save and close the file.
AgenDAV requires a MySQL or MariaDB database to store its data. Open the MySQL or MariaDB shell using the following command:
mysql -u root -p
Create a new database and user account using the following commands. Replace agendavdb with the name of your database, and agendavuser with a suitable username.
CREATE DATABASE agendavdb;
CREATE USER 'agendavuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON agendavdb.* TO 'agendavuser'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit;
Now you can start installing AgenDAV. Move to the AgenDAV directory and copy the config.sample.inc.php file to config.inc.php.
cd agendav-master
cp config.sample.inc.php config.inc.php
Open the config.inc.php file using an editor.
nano config.inc.php
Edit the database settings and provide the database name, username, and password you created in the previous step.
// Database connection settings
define("AGENDAV_DB_TYPE", "mysql");
define("AGENDAV_DB_HOST", "localhost");
define("AGENDAV_DB_NAME", "agendavdb");
define("AGENDAV_DB_USER", "agendavuser");
define("AGENDAV_DB_PASS", "password");
Save and close the file.
AgenDAV provides an installation script that you need to run for initializing the database tables and creating an admin user. Run the following command:
php vendor/bin/doctrine orm:schema-tool:create
You will be prompted to create an admin user. Provide the required information and follow the instructions to complete the installation.
Once the installation is completed, you can access AgenDAV by navigating to the hostname of the server in the web browser:
http://example.com/
Login with the admin credentials you have created during the installation.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed AgenDAV on FreeBSD Latest. You can now start using the application to manage your tasks, appointments, and contacts from a web interface.
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!
