Dudle is an open-source web-based scheduling application that allows users to create and share events with others. Here is a step-by-step tutorial on installing Dudle on Ubuntu Server Latest:
Before installing any new application or software, it is necessary to ensure that the system is updated and upgraded to the latest version. Open the terminal and enter the following commands:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
Dudle requires a web server to run, and here we'll be using Apache. You can install it by running the following command:
sudo apt-get install apache2
Dudle is based on PHP, so it is necessary to install it along with the required modules. Run the following command to install PHP and the required modules:
sudo apt-get install php libapache2-mod-php php-mysql php-curl php-xmlrpc
Dudle requires a database to store its data. Here, we'll be using MySQL. Run the following command to install MySQL:
sudo apt-get install mysql-server
You will also need to set a root password for the MySQL server during installation.
You can download the latest version of Dudle from dudle">http://primelife.ercim.eu/results/opensource/63-dudle. Once downloaded, extract the package.
Move the extracted Dudle package to the default Apache web directory /var/www/html/ by running the following command:
sudo mv dudle-* /var/www/html/dudle
Create a new MySQL database and user for Dudle by running the following commands:
sudo mysql -u root -p
Enter your MySQL root password and then run the following command in the MySQL command prompt to create a new database:
CREATE DATABASE dudle;
Create a new user and grant the necessary permissions to the database:
CREATE USER 'dudleuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON dudle.* TO 'dudleuser'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Replace 'password' with a strong, unique password.
Copy the file /var/www/html/dudle/inc/config.sample.php to /var/www/html/dudle/inc/config.php with the following command:
sudo cp /var/www/html/dudle/inc/config.sample.php /var/www/html/dudle/inc/config.php
Edit the file /var/www/html/dudle/inc/config.php and enter the database details you created earlier, as shown below:
$config['db_host'] = 'localhost';
$config['db_name'] = 'dudle';
$config['db_user'] = 'dudleuser';
$config['db_pass'] = 'password';
Save and close the file.
Set the proper file permissions to the Dudle directory by running the following command:
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/dudle/
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/dudle/
Restart Apache to apply the changes:
sudo systemctl restart apache2
Open your web browser and type in the following URL to access Dudle:
http://localhost/dudle
Follow the on-screen instructions to create events and share them with others.
