Meetable is an open-source platform used for organizing events. It is based on the IndieWeb principles and allows users to create and manage events on their own domain. In this tutorial, you will learn how to install Meetable on Kali Linux Latest.
Before we begin, make sure you have the following requirements:
The first step is to download the Meetable source code from the GitHub repository. Make sure you have Git installed on your system. To download the source code, run the following command:
$ git clone https://github.com/indieweb/meetable.git
Once you have downloaded the Meetable source code, navigate to the Meetable directory and copy the default configuration file:
$ cd meetable
$ cp config/config.default.php config/config.php
Next, open the config.php file using your favorite text editor and configure the MySQL database settings:
$ nano config/config.php
Replace the values under the // MySQL Settings section with your MySQL database credentials. For example, the DB_NAME should be the name of the MySQL database you want to use for Meetable.
Next, we need to install the dependencies. Meetable uses Composer to manage its dependencies. If you haven't installed Composer yet, you can download it using the following command:
$ sudo apt-get install composer
Once you have installed Composer, run the following command to install Meetable's dependencies:
$ composer install
Now it's time to configure the Apache web server to serve Meetable. Create a new virtual host file for Meetable:
$ sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/meetable.conf
Add the following lines to the file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName yourmeetabledomain.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/meetable
<Directory /var/www/meetable/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Replace yourmeetabledomain.com with your own domain name. Save the file and then enable the virtual host by entering the following command:
$ sudo a2ensite meetable.conf
Finally, restart the Apache web server:
$ sudo systemctl restart apache2
You're almost done! Visit your Meetable domain name in your web browser and follow the installation wizard to complete the installation process. The wizard will guide you through setting up your admin account and configuring Meetable settings.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Meetable on Kali Linux Latest. You should now be able to create and manage events on your own domain using Meetable.
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!
