Installing SabreDAV on MXLinux

SabreDAV is a WebDAV framework that allows users to access and manage files over HTTP. In this tutorial, we will go over how to install SabreDAV on MXLinux.

Step 1 - Update the system

Before starting the installation, it's important to ensure that your system is up to date. You can do this by running the following command in the terminal:

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

Step 2 - Install dependencies

SabreDAV requires a few dependencies to be installed before it can be installed. Run the following command to install required dependencies:

sudo apt install apache2 php7.2 php7.2-xml php7.2-mbstring

Step 3 - Download SabreDAV

Download SabreDAV from the official website. You can use the following command to download it:

wget https://github.com/sabre-io/dav/releases/download/4.2.7/sabre-dav-4.2.7.zip

Step 4 - Extract SabreDAV

To extract the downloaded file, use the following command:

unzip sabre-dav-4.2.7.zip

Step 5 - Move SabreDAV to the Apache document root

To move SabreDAV to the Apache document root, use the following command:

sudo mv sabre-dav-4.2.7 /var/www/html/

Step 6 - Set permissions

Next, we need to set the appropriate permissions to SabreDAV. Run the following command to do so:

sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/sabre-dav-4.2.7

Step 7 - Configure Apache

Finally, we need to configure Apache to serve SabreDAV. Luckily, MXLinux comes with Apache pre-installed.

Copy the SabreDAV Apache configuration file to the /etc/apache2/sites-available/ directory using the following command:

sudo cp /var/www/html/sabre-dav-4.2.7/3rdparty/SabreAMF/examples/apache-conf-httpd24 /etc/apache2/sites-available/sabredav.conf

Next, enable the newly created virtual host, and restart Apache using the following commands:

sudo a2ensite sabredav.conf
sudo service apache2 restart

Step 8 - Finish Installation

You can now access SabreDAV by using a WebDAV client to connect to http://localhost/sabre-dav-4.2.7/. The default login credentials are: Username: admin Password: admin

That's it! You have successfully installed SabreDAV on MXLinux. Happy file managing!
