Installing EteSync Web on Ubuntu Server Latest

EteSync Web is a web client for the EteSync encrypted calendar, contacts and tasks service. Here are the steps to install EteSync Web on Ubuntu Server Latest.

Prerequisites

  • A running Ubuntu Server Latest
  • Git installed on your system
  • NodeJS and npm installed
  • A running EteSync server

Step 1: Clone the EteSync Web repository

First, clone the EteSync Web repository from GitHub using the following command:

git clone https://github.com/etesync/web.git

This will create a new directory called "web" in the current working directory.

Step 2: Install dependencies

Next, navigate to the "web" directory and run the following command to install the required dependencies:

cd web
npm install

Step 3: Configure the EteSync server

Create a new file called ".env" in the "web" directory and add the following contents:

ETESYNC_API_ENDPOINT=http://your-etesync-server.com
ETESYNC_USERNAME=your-username
ETESYNC_PASSWORD=your-password
ETESYNC_HOME=/path/to/your/etesync/home

Replace "your-etesync-server.com" with the URL of your EteSync server, "your-username" with your EteSync username, "your-password" with your EteSync password, and "/path/to/your/etesync/home" with the path to your EteSync home directory.

Step 4: Build the project

Run the following command to build the EteSync Web project:

npm run build

This will create a new "dist" directory in the "web" directory.

Step 5: Configure the web server

Finally, configure your web server to serve the "dist" directory as a static site. For example, if you are using Apache, add the following configuration to your site configuration file:

Alias /etesync-web /path/to/web/dist

<Directory "/path/to/web/dist">
  Options FollowSymLinks
  AllowOverride None
  Require all granted
</Directory>

Replace "/path/to/web/dist" with the path to the "dist" directory in your "web" directory.

Restart your web server and the EteSync Web client should now be available at http://your-server/etesync-web/.

Congratulations - you have successfully installed EteSync Web on Ubuntu Server Latest!
