SabreDAV is a server designed to help you add WebDAV support to your application. It is written in PHP and can be installed on most servers. In this article, we will show you how to install SabreDAV on POP! OS latest.
Before we start, you will need the following:
Composer is required to install SabreDAV; it is a dependency manager for PHP. You can install it using the following command:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install curl php-cli php-mbstring git unzip
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer -o composer-setup.php
sudo php composer-setup.php --install-dir=/usr/local/bin --filename=composer
Verify that Composer has been installed by running:
composer --version
Once Composer is installed and running, you can download SabreDAV by running the following command:
composer require sabre/dav
This will download and install the latest version of SabreDAV.
To create a WebDAV server with SabreDAV, create a new PHP file (e.g., webdav.php) with the following code:
<?php
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
use Sabre\DAV;
$rootDirectory = new DAV\SimpleCollection('root');
$server = new DAV\Server($rootDirectory);
$server->exec();
This creates a new WebDAV server with SabreDAV.
To run the newly created WebDAV server, run the following command:
php webdav.php
This will start the server.
You can now connect to the WebDAV server using your preferred file explorer or third-party WebDAV client software. To connect to the server, use the server’s IP or domain name, followed by the port number that the server is running on (e.g., http://your-server-ip:80).
In this tutorial, you learned how to install SabreDAV on POP! OS latest. SabreDAV is a powerful server that enables WebDAV support for your applications. It is easy to install and configure, and you can create and run a WebDAV server with minimal setup. Good luck!
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!
