Dudle is an open-source online scheduling application that allows you to create polls and schedule events with ease. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Dudle on OpenSUSE Latest.
Before starting with the installation process, you need to make sure that you have the following prerequisites:
The first step in installing Dudle on OpenSUSE Latest is to download the latest version of Dudle. You can download it from the following link:
http://primelife.ercim.eu/results/opensource/63-dudle
After downloading the file, extract it to a suitable location on your system.
The next step is to configure Apache web server to host Dudle. Open the Apache configuration file httpd.conf located at /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf in your favorite text editor using the command:
sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
Next, add the following lines to the end of the file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName dudle.your-domain.com
DocumentRoot /path/to/dudle
</VirtualHost>
Make sure to replace dudle.your-domain.com with your own domain name and /path/to/dudle with the path to your Dudle installation folder.
Save the changes and close the file.
Dudle requires a MySQL database to store its data. To create a new database, log in to the MySQL shell using the command:
sudo mysql -u root -p
Enter the root password when prompted.
Next, execute the following SQL query to create a new database:
CREATE DATABASE dudle;
Replace dudle with your own database name.
Create a new user and grant all necessary permissions by executing the following command:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON dudle.* TO 'dudleuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
Replace dudle with your own database name, dudleuser with your own username, and password with your own password.
Exit from the MySQL shell using the command:
exit;
Next, navigate to the Dudle installation folder and open the config.inc.php file located in the config folder using the command:
sudo nano /path/to/dudle/config/config.inc.php
Edit the following lines in the file:
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
define('DB_USER', 'dudleuser');
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'password');
define('DB_NAME', 'dudle');
Replace localhost with the hostname or IP address of your MySQL server, dudleuser with your own username, password with your own password, and dudle with your own database name.
Save the changes and close the file.
To start Apache and MySQL, execute the following commands:
sudo systemctl start apache2
sudo systemctl start mysql
Finally, open your web browser and enter the URL http://dudle.your-domain.com in the address bar. You should now see the Dudle homepage.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Dudle on OpenSUSE Latest. You can now create polls and schedule events with ease using Dudle.
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!
