Installing Pagure on Alpine Linux

Pagure is a free and open-source software for hosting git repositories. It can be used for collaboration and version control. In this tutorial, we will explain how to install Pagure on Alpine Linux.

Prerequisites

Before starting with this installation, make sure you have the following requirements:

Step 1: Update System

Before installing any new software, it is important to update your system.

apk update && apk upgrade

This will update all the packages on your system.

Step 2: Install Required Dependencies

To install Pagure, we will need to install some required dependencies. Run the following command to install the required dependencies.

apk add git python3 python3-dev gcc postgresql-dev libffi-dev curl

Step 3: Install Pagure

Now that we have installed all the required dependencies, we can go ahead and install Pagure. We will use pip3 to install Pagure.

pip3 install --user pagure[mysql, git, tests] # For MySQL database
pip3 install --user pagure[sqlite, git, tests] # For SQLite database

Step 4: Generate Default Configuration

Once the installation is complete, we need to create the default configuration file for Pagure.

pagure-admin initdb

This command will create the default configuration file at /home/<username>/.config/pagure/pagure.cfg.

Step 5: Configure the Database

By default, Pagure uses a SQLite database. If you need to use a different database, make sure to change the database settings in the configuration file.

Step 6: Start Pagure

Once you have completed the configuration, you can run the following command to start Pagure.

pagure serve

This will start the Pagure server on http://localhost:5000.
