How to Install Dudle on Arch Linux

Dudle is an open-source online scheduling application that allows users to create polls to schedule events. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Dudle on Arch Linux.

Prerequisites

Before we get started with the installation, make sure your system has the following prerequisites:

• Arch Linux installed on your system
• Basic command-line skills

Step 1: Install Dependencies

To install Dudle, you need to install some dependencies first. Open the terminal and run the following command to install the dependencies:

sudo pacman -S apache perl-dbd-sqlite perl-email-mime perl-email-send perl-mojolicious

Step 2: Download the Dudle Package

Next, you need to download the Dudle package from the official website. You can download the package using the following command:

sudo wget https://download.dudle.inf.tu-dresden.de/dudle-latest.tar.gz

Step 3: Extract the Package

Once the package is downloaded, extract it with the following command:

sudo tar -xzf dudle-latest.tar.gz

This command will extract the package to the current directory.

Step 4: Configure Apache Server

Now, you need to configure the Apache server to run the Dudle application. Open the Apache configuration file using your favorite text editor:

sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

Add the following lines at the end of the file:

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName dudle.example.com
DocumentRoot /path/to/dudle
<Directory /path/to/dudle>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Replace "dudle.example.com" with your domain name and "/path/to/dudle" with the actual path to the directory where Dudle is extracted.

Save and close the file.

Step 5: Start the Apache Server

Start the Apache server using the following command:

sudo systemctl start httpd.service

Step 6: Access Dudle

Now, you can access the Dudle application by visiting "http://dudle.example.com" in a web browser. Replace "dudle.example.com" with your domain name.
