How to Install SabreDAV on Ubuntu Server Latest

SabreDAV is an open-source WebDAV server that allows users to easily add WebDAV support to their applications. This tutorial will guide you through the steps required to install SabreDAV on an Ubuntu Server.

Prerequisites

Before starting, ensure that the following requirements are met:

• Ubuntu Server Latest.
• A non-root user with sudo privileges.

Steps

1. Install Apache2 and PHP, required dependencies to run SabreDAV.

sudo apt-get update 
sudo apt-get install apache2 php

2. Install some additional PHP extensions required by SabreDAV by running the command below:

sudo apt-get install php-xml php-mbstring php-zip

3. Download the latest version of SabreDAV from [https://sabre.io/] (https://sabre.io/) and extract it to your server's webroot directory.

wget https://github.com/sabre-io/dav/releases/download/3.3.2/sabre-dav-3.3.2.zip -O /tmp/sabre-dav-3.3.2.zip
sudo unzip /tmp/sabre-dav-3.3.2.zip -d /var/www/html

4. Rename the folder sabre-dav-3.3.2 into something that is easy to type.

mv /var/www/html/sabre-dav-3.3.2 /var/www/html/sabredav

5. Set the correct permissions to the SabreDAV directory.

sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/sabredav

6. Create a new Apache virtual host file for SabreDAV.

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

Paste the configuration below into your file.

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName your_domain.com

    DocumentRoot /var/www/html/sabredav/public
    <Directory /var/www/html/sabredav/public>
        Options FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>

    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Save and close the file.

7. Enable the new virtual host by running the command below:

sudo a2dissite 000-default.conf
sudo a2ensite sabredav.conf

8. Restart the Apache service to apply the changes.

sudo systemctl restart apache2

9. Verify that the SabreDAV installation is working by accessing the URL http://<your-server-IP>/sabredav/public/.

Conclusion

By following these steps, you can easily install SabreDAV on an Ubuntu Server and start using WebDAV to manage your files efficiently. Note that you can always upgrade SabreDAV to the latest version by downloading it from the official SabreDAV repository.

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!
