How to Install AgenDAV on POP! OS Latest

AgenDAV is a free, open-source web-based calendar and address book application. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps to install AgenDAV on POP! OS latest.

Prerequisites

Before you start with the installation process, make sure your system is up-to-date with the latest updates and packages. You can update your system by running the following command:

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

Step 1: Install Apache Web Server

To install the Apache web server on your system, run the following command:

sudo apt install apache2 -y

Once the installation is complete, start and enable the Apache service using the following command:

sudo systemctl enable apache2 && sudo systemctl start apache2

Step 2: Install PHP

Next, we need to install PHP and the required PHP modules to run AgenDAV. Run the following command to install PHP and the PHP modules:

sudo apt install php php-cli php-fpm php-mysql php-curl php-xml php-mbstring libapache2-mod-php -y

Step 3: Install MySQL Server

AgenDAV requires a database to store its data. We will use MySQL Server as the database. Run the following command to install MySQL Server:

sudo apt install mysql-server -y

Once the installation is complete, start and enable the MySQL service using the following command:

sudo systemctl enable mysql && sudo systemctl start mysql

Step 4: Create AgenDAV Database

After installing the MySQL Server, we need to create a new database for AgenDAV. Run the following command to log in to the MySQL console:

sudo mysql -u root -p

Once you are in the MySQL console, create a new database for AgenDAV:

CREATE DATABASE agendav_db;

Create a new user, grant privileges to the new user, and exit the MySQL console by running the following commands:

CREATE USER 'agendav_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'new_password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON agendav_db.* TO 'agendav_user'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT;

Replace the "new_password" with a strong password.

Step 5: Install AgenDAV

Run the following command to download and install AgenDAV:

sudo mkdir /var/www/html/agendav
sudo wget https://github.com/agendav/agendav/releases/latest/download/agendav.zip -O /var/www/html/agendav/agendav.zip
sudo unzip /var/www/html/agendav/agendav.zip -d /var/www/html/agendav
sudo rm /var/www/html/agendav/agendav.zip
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/agendav

Step 6: Configure Apache for AgenDAV

Create a new Apache virtual host configuration file for AgenDAV:

sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/agendav.conf

Add the following configuration:

<VirtualHost *:80>
  ServerName your_domain.com
  DocumentRoot /var/www/html/agendav
  <Directory /var/www/html/agendav>
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
    AllowOverride All
    Require all granted
  </Directory>
  ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
  CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Replace the "your_domain.com" with your domain name or IP address.

Enable the AgenDAV virtual host configuration file and restart the Apache service by running the following commands:

sudo a2ensite agendav.conf
sudo systemctl restart apache2

Step 7: Complete the Installation

Open your web browser and navigate to "http://your_domain.com/setup", and you will be redirected to the AgenDAV setup page. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation process.
