This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Fossil on Alpine Linux. Fossil is a distributed software configuration management system that is used for version control of software projects.
Before you begin, make sure you have the following:
Start by updating the package repository on your Alpine Linux server. This ensures that you have access to the latest software packages and security updates.
sudo apk update
Next, install Fossil on your Alpine Linux server using the following command:
sudo apk add fossil
This will download and install the Fossil package, as well as any required dependencies.
To verify that Fossil has been installed correctly, you can run the following command to display the version of Fossil installed on your server:
fossil version
This should display the current version of Fossil installed on your server.
To create a new Fossil repository, use the fossil init command followed by the name of the repository you wish to create, like so:
fossil init my-repo.fossil
This will create a new Fossil repository file with the name my-repo.fossil.
To clone an existing Fossil repository, use the fossil clone command followed by the URL of the repository, like so:
fossil clone https://example.com/my-repo my-repo.fossil
This will create a local copy of the repository with the name my-repo.fossil.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed Fossil on Alpine Linux! You can now use Fossil to manage your software projects and version control.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
