AgenDAV is a free and open-source web-based calendar application that provides a simple way to manage your schedule and tasks in your own server. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps to install AgenDAV on Kali Linux Latest.
Go to the official website of AgenDAV [https://agendav.github.io/agendav/] and download the latest stable release.
wget https://github.com/agendav/agendav/releases/download/2.1.0/agendav-2.1.0.zip
Unzip is not installed by default in Kali Linux. Install it using the following command:
sudo apt install unzip
Unzip the downloaded file to the web server root directory /var/www/html/ using the following command:
sudo unzip agendav-2.1.0.zip -d /var/www/html/
Create a new MySQL database for AgenDAV with the following command:
mysql -u root -p
Enter your root password and run the following SQL commands to create a new database named agendav_db and a user named agendav_user with a password password123:
create database agendav_db;
grant all privileges on agendav_db.* to agendav_user@localhost identified by 'password123';
flush privileges;
exit;
Rename the configuration file located at /var/www/html/agendav-2.1.0/config/default.config.php to config.php.
sudo mv /var/www/html/agendav-2.1.0/config/default.config.php /var/www/html/agendav-2.1.0/config/config.php
Edit the configuration file with your preferred editor, we are going to use vim.
sudo vim /var/www/html/agendav-2.1.0/config/config.php
Enter the following information in the file:
$config['timezone'] = 'Asia/Kolkata';
$config['pdo']['dsn'] = 'mysql:host=localhost;dbname=agendav_db;charset=utf8';
$config['pdo']['user'] = 'agendav_user';
$config['pdo']['password'] = 'password123';
Save and close the file.
Grant the appropriate permissions to the AgenDAV directory and its subdirectories.
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/agendav-2.1.0/
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/agendav-2.1.0/
sudo chmod -R 775 /var/www/html/agendav-2.1.0/htdocs/ files/
Restart the Apache and MySQL servers using the following commands:
sudo service apache2 restart
sudo service mysql restart
Now that AgenDAV is installed, you can access it by going to your web browser and typing in the following URL:
http://localhost/agendav-2.1.0/
You will be directed to the AgenDAV setup page where you can create an administrative account and complete the installation.
That's it! You now have successfully installed AgenDAV on Kali Linux Latest. Enjoy using AgenDAV!
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!
