AgenDAV is an open-source CalDAV and CardDAV web client for sharing calendars, contacts, and tasks. It is available for different operating systems, including macOS. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing AgenDAV on your macOS device.
Before you start the installation, you need to ensure that your macOS device meets the following requirements:
If you don't have any of these prerequisites installed, please refer to their respective installation instructions before proceeding.
git clone https://github.com/agendav/agendav.git /path/to/agendav
Make sure to replace /path/to/agendav with the actual path where you want to install AgenDAV.
cd /path/to/agendav
config.sample.inc.php file to config.inc.php using the command:cp config.sample.inc.php config.inc.php
config.inc.php file using any text editor, and modify the following settings:$pdo_dsn - Set this to the DSN for your database server, depending on the database you installed.$pdo_user and $pdo_password - Set these to the username and password of the database user with permission to access the database.$caldav_backend - Set this to the type of CalDAV server you are using (e.g., sabredav or owncloud).$carddav_backend - Set this to the type of CardDAV server you are using (e.g., sabredav or owncloud).$timezone - Set this to your timezone (e.g., Europe/London or America/New_York).Save and close the config.inc.php file.
Create the data directory and give it write permissions using the command:
mkdir -p data/{cache,log,files}
chmod 777 data/{cache,log,files}
If you're using Apache, you can create a VirtualHost configuration file with the following code:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName calendar.example.com
DocumentRoot "/path/to/agendav"
ErrorLog "/path/to/agendav/data/log/error.log"
CustomLog "/path/to/agendav/data/log/access.log" combined
<Directory "/path/to/agendav">
Require all granted
AllowOverride All
Options FollowSymLinks
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Make sure to replace calendar.example.com, /path/to/agendav, and the log file paths in the code to match your configuration.
Restart your web server to apply the changes.
Access AgenDAV on your web browser at http://calendar.example.com.
You have now installed AgenDAV on your macOS device and configured it to connect to your CalDAV and CardDAV servers. You can explore the web client to manage your calendars, contacts, and tasks. If you encounter any issues or errors during the installation, please refer to the AgenDAV documentation or community support forum for assistance.
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!
