Calagator is a free, open-source web application used for managing events. It is built using Ruby on Rails and can be installed on different operating systems including OpenSUSE Latest. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps needed to install and configure Calagator on OpenSUSE Latest.
Before you start installing Calagator, you need to install some required packages that it depends on. To do this, open the terminal and run the following commands:
sudo zypper update
sudo zypper install -y git-core curl zlib1g-dev build-essential libssl-dev libreadline-dev libyaml-dev libsqlite3-dev sqlite3 libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev software-properties-common libffi-dev libpq-dev nodejs postgresql postgresql-contrib libpq5 libpq-devel
The task manager Calagator is built using Ruby on Rails, so you will need to install a Ruby Version Manager (RVM) to manage different versions of Ruby on your system. To install it, run the following command:
curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable
After installation, load RVM by running the following command:
source /usr/local/rvm/scripts/rvm
To verify that RVM is installed and working properly, run the following command:
rvm -v
With RVM installed, you can now install the latest Ruby version by running the following command:
rvm install ruby
After installation, set the default Ruby version to the one you just installed by running the following command:
rvm use ruby --default
To verify that Ruby is installed and working properly, run the following command:
ruby -v
Now that all the prerequisites are installed, it's time to install Calagator. To do this, clone the Calagator repository to your system by running the following command:
git clone https://github.com/calagator/calagator.git
This will download the source code to a directory named calagator. Change to that directory by running:
cd calagator
Install all of Calagator's dependencies using the following command:
gem install bundler -v '1.17.3' && bundle install
Next, run the following command to create the Calagator database:
bundle exec rake db:create
Finally, migrate the database by running the following command:
bundle exec rake db:migrate
To configure Calagator, copy the configuration file template to a new config file by running the following command:
cp ./config/application.yml.example ./config/application.yml
Open the configuration file using your preferred editor and enter your email settings such as your SMTP host, username, password, and email address. You will also need to configure the database settings, including the database name, user, and password.
nano ./config/application.yml
To start the Calagator server, run the following command inside the calagator directory:
bundle exec rails server
You can now access Calagator by visiting http://localhost:3000 on your web browser.
In this tutorial, you learned how to install Calagator on OpenSUSE Latest. With Calagator installed, you can now manage and organize events effectively.
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!
