<p><a class="reference external" href="https://www.zotero.org/">Zotero</a> is an Open Source tool that lets
you organise your bibliography, syncing it with the cloud. Unlike other
alternatives such as <a class="reference external" href="http://www.mendeley.com">Mendeley</a>, Zotero can
upload the attachments and data to a private cloud via WebDav.</p>
<p>If you use nginx as your web server, know that even though it provides
partial support for webdav, Zotero needs more than that. Hence, you will
need another webdav server, and optionally let nginx proxy to it. This
short post provides the basics to get that set-up working under
Debian/Ubuntu.</p>
<div class="section" id="setting-up-apache">
<h2>Setting up Apache</h2>
<p>First we need to install Apache:</p>
<table class="highlighttable"><tr><td class="linenos"><div class="linenodiv"><pre>1</pre></div></td><td class="code"><div class="highlight"><pre>sudo apt-get install apache2
</pre></div>
</td></tr></table><p>Change the head of &quot;/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default&quot; to:</p>
<table class="highlighttable"><tr><td class="linenos"><div class="linenodiv"><pre>1</pre></div></td><td class="code"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="nt">&lt;VirtualHost</span> <span class="s">*:880</span><span class="nt">&gt;</span>
</pre></div>
</td></tr></table><p>Then, create a file /etc/apache2/sites-available/webdav:</p>
<table class="highlighttable"><tr><td class="linenos"><div class="linenodiv"><pre> 1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13</pre></div></td><td class="code"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="nb">Alias</span> <span class="sx">/dav</span> <span class="sx">/home/webdav/dav</span>
<span class="nt">&lt;Location</span> <span class="s">/dav</span><span class="nt">&gt;</span>
<span class="nb">Dav</span> <span class="k">on</span>
<span class="nb">Order</span> Allow,Deny
<span class="nb">Allow</span> from <span class="k">all</span>
<span class="nb">Dav</span> <span class="k">On</span>
<span class="nb">Options</span> +Indexes
<span class="nb">AuthType</span> Basic
<span class="nb">AuthName</span> DAV
<span class="nb">AuthBasicProvider</span> file
<span class="nb">AuthUserFile</span> <span class="sx">/home/webdav/.htpasswd</span>
<span class="nb">Require</span> valid-user
<span class="nt">&lt;/Location&gt;</span>
</pre></div>
</td></tr></table><p>Ideally, you want your webdav folders to be private, adding
authentication to them. So you need to create the webdav and zotero
users and add the passwords to an htpasswd file. Even though you could
use a single user, since you will be configuring several clients with
your credentials I encourage you to create the zotero user as well. This
way you can always change the password for zotero without affecting any
other application using webdav.</p>
<table class="highlighttable"><tr><td class="linenos"><div class="linenodiv"><pre>1
2
3
4</pre></div></td><td class="code"><div class="highlight"><pre>sudo adduser webdav
sudo htpasswd -c /home/webdav/.htpasswd webdav
sudo htpasswd /home/webdav/.htpasswd zotero
sudo mkdir -p /home/webdav/dav/zotero
</pre></div>
</td></tr></table><p>Enable the site and restart apache:</p>
<table class="highlighttable"><tr><td class="linenos"><div class="linenodiv"><pre>1
2
3
4</pre></div></td><td class="code"><div class="highlight"><pre>sudo a2enmod webdav
sudo a2enmod dav_fs
sudo a2ensite webdav
sudo service apache2 restart
</pre></div>
</td></tr></table><p>At this point everything should be working at
<a class="reference external" href="http:/">http:/</a>/&lt;your_host&gt;:880/dav/zotero</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="setting-up-nginx">
<h2>Setting up NGINX</h2>
<p>After the Apache side is working, we can use nginx as a proxy to get
cleaner URIs. In your desired site/location, add this:</p>
<table class="highlighttable"><tr><td class="linenos"><div class="linenodiv"><pre>1
2
3
4
5
6
7</pre></div></td><td class="code"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="k">location</span> <span class="s">/dav</span> <span class="p">{</span>
<span class="kn">client_max_body_size</span> <span class="s">20M</span><span class="p">;</span>
<span class="kn">proxy_set_header</span> <span class="s">X-Real-IP</span> <span class="nv">$remote_addr</span><span class="p">;</span>
<span class="kn">proxy_set_header</span> <span class="s">X-Forwarded-For</span> <span class="nv">$remote_addr</span><span class="p">;</span>
<span class="kn">proxy_set_header</span> <span class="s">Host</span> <span class="nv">$host</span><span class="p">;</span>
<span class="kn">proxy_pass</span> <span class="s">http://127.0.0.1:880</span><span class="p">;</span>
<span class="p">}</span>
</pre></div>
</td></tr></table><p>Now just reload nginx:</p>
<table class="highlighttable"><tr><td class="linenos"><div class="linenodiv"><pre>1</pre></div></td><td class="code"><div class="highlight"><pre>sudo service nginx force-reload
</pre></div>
</td></tr></table></div>
