Installing AgenDAV on Void Linux

In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing AgenDAV on Void Linux. AgenDAV is an open-source, web-based calendar application that allows users to manage their schedules, events, and appointments.

Prerequisites

Before beginning the installation process, make sure your system meets the following prerequisites:

• A running instance of a web server, such as Apache or Nginx.
• PHP version 5.6 or higher.
• MySQL or MariaDB server.

Step 1: Install PHP and Web Server

If you haven't already, install PHP and a web server of your choice in Void Linux. Here we will be using Apache web server and PHP.

sudo xbps-install -y apache php7 php7-fpm php7-mysql
sudo ln -s /etc/sv/apache /var/service/
sudo ln -s /etc/sv/php-fpm7 /var/service/

Step 2: Install MariaDB

Install MariaDB as a database server to store AgenDAV's data.

sudo xbps-install -y mariadb

After the installation, start the MariaDB server and set the root password.

sudo mysqld_safe -u mysql &
sudo mysql_secure_installation

Step 3: Install AgenDAV

Download and extract the latest release of AgenDAV to the web server's document root directory. In this example, we will extract it to /srv/http/agendav.

sudo mkdir /srv/http/agendav
sudo chown www-data:www-data /srv/http/agendav
cd /srv/http/agendav
sudo wget https://github.com/agendav/agendav/releases/download/2.3.3/agendav-2.3.3.zip
sudo unzip agendav-2.3.3.zip

Step 4: Configure AgenDAV

Create the AgenDAV configuration file.

sudo cp config/default.config.php config/config.php

Edit the configuration file and update the following settings to match your system:

define('TIMEZONE', 'Europe/Paris');
define('DATABASE_TYPE', 'mysql');
define('DATABASE_HOST', 'localhost');
define('DATABASE_NAME', 'agendav');
define('DATABASE_USER', 'agendav');
define('DATABASE_PASS', 'password');
define('AGENDAV_ROOT', '/agendav/');

Note that AGENDAV_ROOT should match the path where AgenDAV is installed in the web server's document root directory.

Step 5: Create Database and User

Create a database and user for AgenDAV in MariaDB.

sudo mysql -u root -p

CREATE DATABASE agendav;
CREATE USER 'agendav'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON agendav.* TO 'agendav'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit

Step 6: Access AgenDAV

You can now access AgenDAV via a web browser at http://localhost/agendav (replace localhost with your server's hostname or IP address if accessing remotely).

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install AgenDAV on Void Linux. You should now be able to use AgenDAV to manage your schedule, events, and appointments.

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!
