Dudle is an online scheduling application. It allows you to schedule events and coordinate with others in a simple and straightforward way. In this tutorial, we will be showing you how to install Dudle on Void Linux.
Before we begin, you should have the following:
Before we install Dudle, we need to install some dependencies. Open a terminal and enter the following command:
sudo xbps-install apache2 php php-json php-mysqli php-xml php-mbstring mysql-server
This will install Apache, PHP, MySQL and some PHP extensions.
Next, we need to download Dudle from the official website. Open a terminal and enter the following command:
wget http://primelife.ercim.eu/results/opensource/63-dudle/dudle-1.2.1.zip
This will download the ZIP file containing Dudle.
Once you have the ZIP file, extract it to the appropriate directory:
unzip dudle-1.2.1.zip -d /var/www/htdocs/
This will extract the contents of the ZIP file to the /var/www/htdocs/ directory.
Next, we need to set the correct permissions so that everything works properly:
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/htdocs/dudle
This will set the ownership of the Dudle directory to the www-data user.
Now we need to configure MySQL to work with Dudle. Open a terminal and enter the following commands:
sudo mysql_install_db --user=mysql --basedir=/usr --datadir=/var/lib/mysql
sudo mysql_secure_installation
These commands will set up MySQL and allow you to create a new root password for the database.
Next, we need to create a new user and database for Dudle:
sudo mysql -u root -p
CREATE DATABASE dudle;
CREATE USER 'dudle'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON dudle.* TO 'dudle'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Change the password to something secure.
Finally, we need to configure Apache to work with Dudle. Open a terminal and enter the following command:
sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
Add the following line to the end of the file:
Include /var/www/htdocs/dudle/httpd-dudle.conf
Now we need to restart Apache:
sudo sv restart apache
Dudle should now be accessible from your web browser. Open your preferred web browser and navigate to:
http://localhost/dudle
This will take you to the Dudle login screen. Use the default username and password to log in:
Username: admin
Password: password
You can now use Dudle to schedule events and coordinate with others.
In this tutorial, we showed you how to install Dudle on Void Linux. Dudle is a simple and straightforward scheduling application that can help you coordinate with others more efficiently. We hope you found this tutorial helpful.
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!
