In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Klaus, a modern, lightweight git web viewer, on Alpine Linux.
Before we start, make sure the following are installed on your system:
Follow these steps to install Klaus on Alpine Linux:
Open the terminal on your Alpine Linux system.
Install the required dependencies using the following command:
apk add git python3 py3-virtualenv
Create a new virtual environment using the following command:
virtualenv /opt/klaus/
Activate the virtual environment by running the activate script:
source /opt/klaus/bin/activate
Clone the Klaus repository into the virtual environment:
git clone https://github.com/jonashaag/klaus.git
Navigate into the Klaus directory:
cd klaus
Install the required Python packages:
pip install -r requirements.txt
Configure Klaus by creating a config file:
cp contrib/klaus-example.cfg /opt/klaus/klaus.cfg
and modify the configuration to meet your needs.
Start Klaus by running:
klaus --port=8000 --base-path=/repos /path/to/your/git/repo
Replace /repos and /path/to/your/git/repo with your preferred directory and the path to your Git repositories, respectively.
Access Klaus by navigating to http://<your-host>:8000/repos/ in your web browser.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Klaus on Alpine Linux.
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!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
