Trac is an open-source project management system that integrates with the Subversion version control system. This tutorial will walk you through the process of installing Trac on your Arch Linux system.
Before we can begin with the installation, there are a few prerequisites that need to be met.
sudo pacman -Syu
Follow the steps below to install Trac on Arch Linux.
Trac requires Python to run. If you do not have Python installed on your system, you can use the following command to install it:
sudo pacman -S python
Trac requires a web server to function. Apache is a popular web server that is compatible with Trac. To install Apache, use the following command:
sudo pacman -S apache
To install Trac on Arch Linux, use the following command:
sudo pacman -S trac
After Trac is installed, you need to configure Apache to serve Trac. You can do this by creating a new Apache configuration file for Trac using the following command:
sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf/extra/trac.conf
Add the following content to the file:
LoadModule wsgi_module modules/mod_wsgi.so
WSGIScriptAlias /trac /usr/share/webapps/trac/htdocs/trac.wsgi
WSGIDaemonProcess trac user=trac group=httpd processes=1 threads=4 maximum-requests=1000
WSGIProcessGroup trac
<Directory /usr/share/webapps/trac/htdocs>
Require all granted
</Directory>
Save and close the file.
To enable and start Apache, use the following commands:
sudo systemctl enable httpd.service
sudo systemctl start httpd.service
Trac is now installed and running on your Arch Linux system. You can access Trac by navigating to the following URL in your web browser:
http://localhost/trac
From here, you can begin using Trac to manage your projects.
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!
