Installing Dudle on Fedora CoreOS Latest

Dudle is a free, open-source online scheduling service that allows users to easily schedule and manage appointments, events, and meetings. If you're looking to install Dudle on a Fedora CoreOS system, then you're in luck! Here's a step-by-step tutorial on how to do it.

Step 1: Download the Dudle Package

To get started, you'll need to download the Dudle package from the official website http://primelife.ercim.eu/results/opensource/63-dudle. You can do this by using the wget command in the terminal. Simply enter the following command:

wget https://github.com/kellerben/dudle/archive/master.zip

This will download the Dudle package to your home directory.

Step 2: Unzip the Package

Once the download is complete, you'll need to unzip the package using the unzip command. Enter the following command:

unzip master.zip

This will create a new directory called 'dudle-master' in your home directory.

Step 3: Install Dependencies

Dudle has some dependencies that need to be installed before it can run properly. You can install all the necessary dependencies with the following command:

sudo dnf install make gcc libpqxx-devel libxml2-devel libxslt-devel libjpeg-turbo-devel

Step 4: Compile and Install Dudle

Now it's time to compile and install Dudle. Navigate to the 'dudle-master' directory that was created when you unzipped the package:

cd dudle-master

Next, run the following command:

make && sudo make install

This will compile and install Dudle on your system.

Step 5: Configure Dudle

Now that you've installed Dudle, you'll need to configure it to run on your system. Create a new directory called 'dudle' in the '/var/www' directory:

sudo mkdir /var/www/dudle

Navigate to the 'dudle' directory and copy the 'config.php.sample' file to a new file called 'config.php':

sudo cp config.php.sample config.php

Edit the 'config.php' file and update the following settings as necessary:

  • DB_HOST: the hostname or IP address of your database server
  • DB_USER: the database username
  • DB_PASS: the database password
  • DB_NAME: the name of the Dudle database
  • BASE_URL: the base URL of your Dudle installation (e.g., 'http://example.com/dudle')

Save the changes to the 'config.php' file.

Step 6: Create the Database

To create the Dudle database, enter the following command:

sudo -u postgres createdb <dbname>

Replace <dbname> with the name of your Dudle database.

Next, import the Dudle database schema by running the following command:

sudo -u postgres psql <dbname> -f tables.sql

Replace <dbname> with the name of your Dudle database.

Step 7: Start the Web Server

Now it's time to start the web server and test your Dudle installation. You can start the web server using the following command:

sudo systemctl start httpd

Once the web server is running, you should be able to access your Dudle installation by visiting the base URL that you configured in the 'config.php' file.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You've successfully installed Dudle on a Fedora CoreOS system. With Dudle, you can now easily schedule and manage appointments, events, and meetings online.
