SabreDAV is an open source WebDAV server implementation that allows users to access their web content and data from a variety of clients like Microsoft Windows, GNU/Linux, and Mac OS X. It is written in PHP and is fully compliant with WebDAV/DeltaV/CalDAV/CardDAV standards. This tutorial will show you how to install SabreDAV on NixOS Latest.
Before installing SabreDAV on NixOS, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
To ensure that the system packages are up-to-date, run the following command:
sudo nixos-rebuild switch
This command will update the system and install any missing packages that are required for installing SabreDAV.
To install SabreDAV on NixOS, run the following command:
sudo nix-env -i php80-sabredav
This command will download and install SabreDAV on your system.
After you have installed SabreDAV, you need to configure it for your webserver. To do this, open the /etc/nixos/configuration.nix file and add the following lines to your NixOS configuration:
services.httpd = {
enable = true;
adminAddr = "admin@example.com";
virtualHosts."example.com" = {
default = true;
locations."/sabredav" = {
allowCrossOrigin = true;
extraConfig = ''
Alias /sabredav /usr/share/php80-sabredav/www
Directory /usr/share/php80-sabredav/www
SetEnv DATABASE_URL "mysql:host=localhost;dbname=sabredav"
SetEnv SABREDAV_DEBUG 1
'';
};
};
};
Be sure to replace example.com with your actual domain name or IP address. This configuration tells the web server to serve SabreDAV from the /sabredav URL on your domain.
After you have installed and configured SabreDAV, you need to start it. To do this, run the following command:
sudo systemctl start httpd
This command will start the web server and SabreDAV will be accessible from the /sabredav URL.
To test that SabreDAV is working, open a web browser and navigate to the URL http://example.com/sabredav/. You should see the SabreDAV login page. If you are able to log in, that means SabreDAV is working correctly.
In this tutorial, you have learned how to install SabreDAV on NixOS Latest. You also configured it to work with your webserver and tested that it is working correctly. Now you can use SabreDAV to access your web content and data from a variety of clients.
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!
