How to Install Xandikos on Void Linux

In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Xandikos, a CalDAV and CardDAV server written in Python, on Void Linux.

Step 1: Install Required Dependencies

Before you install Xandikos, you need to make sure that your system has the required dependencies. To do so, open the terminal and enter the following command:

sudo xbps-install -Suv python3 python3-setuptools python3-wheel python3-dev py-pip

This command will install python3, python3-setuptools, python3-wheel, python3-dev, and py-pip packages on your system.

Step 2: Install Xandikos from GitHub

Now that you have installed the required dependencies, you can proceed to install Xandikos. To install Xandikos, you need to follow the steps below:

  1. Clone the Xandikos Github repository using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/jelmer/xandikos.git
  1. Change to the Xandikos directory:
cd xandikos
  1. Install Xandikos using pip:
pip install --user -e .

Step 3: Configure Xandikos

After you have successfully installed Xandikos, you need to configure it as follows:

  1. Create a configuration file named config.ini:
cp config.ini.sample config.ini
  1. Edit the config.ini file using a text editor of your choice:
vim config.ini
  1. Uncomment the [storage] section and set the [filesystem] backend to a path where you want to store your data:
[storage]
backend = filesystem
path = /path/to/data/directory
  1. Uncomment the [server] section and set the address and port where Xandikos should listen:
[server]
interface = 0.0.0.0
port = 8080
  1. Save and close the config.ini file.

Step 4: Run Xandikos

After you have successfully created and configured the config.ini file, you can start Xandikos using the following command:

xandikos -c config.ini

This command will start Xandikos and print logs to the terminal.

Congratulations, you have successfully installed and configured Xandikos on Void Linux!

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!
