Klaus is a simple, easy-to-use web viewer for Git repositories. Here's how to install Klaus on Elementary OS Latest:
Before you can install Klaus, you need to install some dependencies. Open a terminal and type the following command:
sudo apt-get install python3 python3-dev python3-pip python3-venv git-core
Next, you need to clone the Klaus repository. Open a terminal and type the following command:
git clone https://github.com/jonashaag/klaus.git
This will create a new directory called "klaus" in your current working directory.
To keep your Klaus installation isolated from other Python installations on your system, you can create a virtual environment. Open a terminal and type the following commands:
cd klaus
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
This will create a new virtual environment in a directory called "venv" and activate it.
Now that you're in your virtual environment, you can install Klaus. Open a terminal and type the following command:
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
This will install all the required dependencies for Klaus.
Before you can use Klaus, you need to configure it. Open a terminal and type the following command:
cp klaus/config-sample.ini klaus/config.ini
This will create a new config file in the "klaus" directory.
To configure Klaus, open the new config file in a text editor and modify the settings to your liking. For example, you may want to change the port number or the Git repository directory.
Finally, you can run Klaus! Open a terminal and type the following command:
python3 klaus.py
This will start Klaus on the default port (localhost:8080).
That's it! You can now access Klaus by opening a web browser and navigating to "http://localhost:8080/". From there, you can browse your Git repositories in a simple, easy-to-use interface.
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!
