How to install SabreDAV on Manjaro

SabreDAV is a server software designed to help you share calendars, contacts, and other kinds of data through WebDAV. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install SabreDAV on Manjaro.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure that your Manjaro system is up-to-date.

sudo pacman -Syu

Step 1: Install Required Dependencies

SabreDAV requires some dependencies to be installed on your Manjaro system. The following command will install all the required dependencies:

sudo pacman -S php php-fpm php-gd php-intl php-ldap php-pgsql php-sqlite php-apache composer

After the installation has completed, you need to enable the php-fpm service:

sudo systemctl enable php-fpm.service

Step 2: Download and Install SabreDAV

The easiest way to install SabreDAV is by using Composer. Composer is a dependency manager for PHP that allows you to easily install and manage your PHP dependencies. If you don't have Composer installed on your system, you can install it by running the following command:

sudo pacman -S composer

Once you have Composer installed, you can download and install SabreDAV by running the following command:

sudo composer create-project sabre/dav /var/www/html/

This will download and install SabreDAV in the /var/www/html/ directory.

Step 3: Configure Apache

To use SabreDAV, you need to configure your Apache server.

Open the Apache configuration file using your favorite editor:

sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

Add the following lines at the bottom of the file:

Alias /dav /var/www/html/public
<Directory /var/www/html>
    AllowOverride all
    Require all granted
</Directory>

Save and close the file.

Step 4: Restart Apache

Now you can restart the Apache service to apply the changes:

sudo systemctl restart httpd

Step 5: Access SabreDAV

You can now access SabreDAV by opening your web browser and going to http://localhost/dav/. You should see the SabreDAV welcome screen.

Conclusion

Now you have successfully installed SabreDAV on your Manjaro system. SabreDAV is a powerful and flexible tool that can be used to share calendars, contacts, and other kinds of data through WebDAV. With SabreDAV, you can easily share your data with your team or your clients.
