`Zotero <https://www.zotero.org/>`__ is an Open Source tool that lets
|
|
you organise your bibliography, syncing it with the cloud. Unlike other
|
|
alternatives such as `Mendeley <http://www.mendeley.com>`__, Zotero can
|
|
upload the attachments and data to a private cloud via WebDav.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
Setting up Apache
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
First we need to install Apache:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
sudo apt-get install apache2
|
|
|
|
Change the head of "/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default" to:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: apache
|
|
|
|
<VirtualHost *:880>
|
|
|
|
Then, create a file /etc/apache2/sites-available/webdav:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: apache
|
|
|
|
Alias /dav /home/webdav/dav
|
|
<Location /dav>
|
|
Dav on
|
|
Order Allow,Deny
|
|
Allow from all
|
|
Dav On
|
|
Options +Indexes
|
|
AuthType Basic
|
|
AuthName DAV
|
|
AuthBasicProvider file
|
|
AuthUserFile /home/webdav/.htpasswd
|
|
Require valid-user
|
|
</Location>
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
sudo adduser webdav
|
|
sudo htpasswd -c /home/webdav/.htpasswd webdav
|
|
sudo htpasswd /home/webdav/.htpasswd zotero
|
|
sudo mkdir -p /home/webdav/dav/zotero
|
|
|
|
Enable the site and restart apache:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
sudo a2enmod webdav
|
|
sudo a2enmod dav_fs
|
|
sudo a2ensite webdav
|
|
sudo service apache2 restart
|
|
|
|
At this point everything should be working at
|
|
http://<your\_host>:880/dav/zotero
|
|
|
|
Setting up NGINX
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
After the Apache side is working, we can use nginx as a proxy to get
|
|
cleaner URIs. In your desired site/location, add this:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: nginx
|
|
|
|
location /dav {
|
|
client_max_body_size 20M;
|
|
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
|
|
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr;
|
|
proxy_set_header Host $host;
|
|
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:880;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
Now just reload nginx:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
sudo service nginx force-reload
|
|
|
