GitPrep is a Git repository hosting application that is easy to install, lightweight and simple to use. This tutorial will walk you through the installation process of GitPrep on a Debian Latest operating system.
Before you begin with the installation process, make sure to have the following requirements:
Update the system package list:
sudo apt-get update
Install the required dependencies:
sudo apt-get install -y curl perl libcgi-fast-perl
Download GitPrep from the official GitHub repository:
sudo curl -L https://github.com/yuki-kimoto/gitprep/archive/master.tar.gz -o gitprep.tar.gz
Extract the downloaded archive:
sudo tar -xzvf gitprep.tar.gz
Move the extracted directory to /var/www/html/:
sudo mv gitprep-master /var/www/html/gitprep
Change the ownership of the /var/www/html/gitprep directory and its contents to the www-data user:
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/gitprep
Create a virtual host configuration file for GitPrep:
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/gitprep.conf
Add the following configuration to the virtual host file and save it:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName gitprep.example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/gitprep
<Directory /var/www/html/gitprep>
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Note: Replace gitprep.example.com with your domain name or IP address.
Enable the virtual host configuration:
sudo a2ensite gitprep.conf
Restart Apache for the changes to take effect:
sudo systemctl restart apache2
Now, you can access GitPrep by navigating to http://gitprep.example.com (replace gitprep.example.com with your domain name or IP address).
Congratulations! You have successfully installed GitPrep on your Debian Latest server.
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!
