Step 1: Update your system

Before installing RhodeCode, it is recommended to update your system to the latest packages using the following command:

Step 2: Install Required Dependencies

RhodeCode requires Python and PostgreSQL as the database. Installing PostgreSQL requires the following steps:

apk add postgresql
/etc/init.d/postgresql start
rc-update add postgresql default

You will also need to install other required dependencies for RhodeCode. These include gcc, make, libxml2-dev, libxslt-dev, libffi-dev, openssl-dev, and libjpeg-turbo-dev.

You can install these packages using the following command:

apk add gcc make libxml2-dev libxslt-dev libffi-dev openssl-dev libjpeg-turbo-dev

Step 3: Install RhodeCode

Once all dependencies are installed, you can download and install RhodeCode with the following command:

pip install rhodecode

Copy the default configuration file and edit it to match your settings:

cp /etc/rhodecode/rhodecode.ini.sample /etc/rhodecode/rhodecode.ini
nano /etc/rhodecode/rhodecode.ini

Update the following settings in the configuration file:

[app:main]
mako.directories = /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/rhodecode/templates

[server:main]    
# Replace 0.0.0.0 with your server IP
host = 0.0.0.0
port = 5000 

[alembic]
#Replace postgresql://user:password@localhost/dbname with your database connection details
sqlalchemy.url = postgresql://rhodecode:password@localhost/rhodecode

Make sure to save and close the file when you're done.
