How to Install RhodeCode on Debian Latest

RhodeCode is a fast and powerful source code management tool that allows you to manage and control your source code quickly and efficiently. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing RhodeCode on Debian Latest.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, you will need:

Step 1: Update your Debian system

The first step in installing RhodeCode on Debian Latest is to update your Debian system. To do this, log in to your server as a sudo user and run the following command:

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

This command will update the packages and repositories on your Debian server.

Step 2: Install PostgreSQL

RhodeCode requires a database management system to store its data. We will be using PostgreSQL as our database management system for this tutorial. To install PostgreSQL on your Debian server, run the following command:

sudo apt install postgresql -y

During the installation process, you will be prompted to set a password for the PostgreSQL user. Remember this password, as you will need it later.

Step 3: Install RhodeCode

Now that we have updated our Debian system and installed PostgreSQL, we can proceed to install RhodeCode. To do this, we will need to add the RhodeCode repository to our system. Run the following command to add the RhodeCode repository to your system:

sudo echo "deb http://apt.rhodecode.com/ <DISTRIBUTION> main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/rhodecode.list

Replace <DISTRIBUTION> with your Debian version, for example, stretch, buster, or bullseye. You can find your Debian version by running the command:

lsb_release -cs

Once you have added the RhodeCode repository, run the following command to import the RhodeCode GPG key:

wget -qO - https://s3.rhodecode.com/apt-key/rhodecode.gpg.key | sudo apt-key add -

Finally, run the following command to install RhodeCode:

sudo apt update && sudo apt install rhodecode-enterprise -y

Step 4: Configure RhodeCode

Once you have installed RhodeCode, you will need to configure it. To do this, run the following command:

sudo rhodecode-setup admintoken

This command will prompt you to set a password for the RhodeCode administrator account. Remember this password, as you will need it to access RhodeCode.

After the configuration has completed, you can start the RhodeCode service by running the following command:

sudo systemctl start rhodecode

Step 5: Access RhodeCode

Once the RhodeCode service is running, you can access it by opening your web browser and navigating to http://your_server_ip:5000. You should be prompted to enter the administrator username and password that you set during the configuration process.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed RhodeCode on your Debian Latest server.
