Installing Pagure on Elementary OS

Pagure is a free and open-source software for managing git repositories. It provides a web interface for managing git repositories, issues, and pull requests.

In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Pagure on Elementary OS step by step.

Prerequisites

Before you start installing Pagure, make sure your system has the following prerequisites:

Step 1: Install Dependencies

First, we need to install Pagure dependencies. You can install them using the following command:

sudo apt install git python3 python3-pip rabbitmq-server postgresql postgresql-client postgresql-server-dev-all python3-psycopg2 python3-bcrypt python3-crypto python3-jwt python3-libvirt python3-libxml2 python3-libxslt1 python3-libguestfs python3-lxml libgnutls28-dev libxml2-dev libxslt-dev libpq-dev libldap2-dev libsasl2-dev libffi-dev

Step 2: Clone Pagure Repository

Once the dependencies are installed, we can clone the Pagure repository. You can do it with the following command:

git clone https://pagure.io/pagure.git

Step 3: Install Pagure

Navigate to the cloned Pagure repository and install Pagure using the following command:

cd pagure
sudo pip3 install -r requirements.txt
sudo python3 setup.py install

Step 4: Configure Pagure

Copy the default configuration file to /etc/pagure/pagure.cfg:

sudo cp /etc/pagure/pagure.example.cfg /etc/pagure/pagure.cfg

Edit the configuration file with your favorite text editor to set up your desired configuration:

sudo nano /etc/pagure/pagure.cfg

Ensure that the following options in the pagure.cfg file match your PostgreSQL settings:

[DATABASE]
uri = postgresql://pagure_user:pagure_password@localhost/pagure

And ensure that the following options match your RabbitMQ settings:

[MESSAGING]
backend = amqp://guest:guest@localhost:5672/

Note: Replace pagure_user and pagure_password with your PostgreSQL username and password, respectively.

Step 5: Initialize Database

Initialize the database using the following command:

sudo pagure-db-init

Step 6: Start Pagure

Finally, start Pagure using the following command:

sudo systemctl start pagure

You can check the status of the Pagure service using the following command:

sudo systemctl status pagure

Conclusion

By following these steps, you should have successfully installed Pagure on your Elementary OS system. You can now use the web interface to create and manage git repositories, issues, and pull requests.
