Klaus is a simple web viewer for Git repositories. It allows you to browse the history of your Git repositories and view the repository files in your web browser.
This tutorial will guide you through the installation process of Klaus on EndeavourOS.
Before installing Klaus, you need to install some dependencies. Open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo pacman -S git python python-pip uwsgi uwsgi-plugin-python
The above command will install the required dependencies.
Now, clone the Klaus Git repository to your local system using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/jonashaag/klaus.git
The above command will create a directory called klaus in your current working directory, which contains Klaus source code.
After cloning the Klaus repository, cd into the klaus directory and run the following command:
sudo pip install .
This command will install Klaus and its dependencies.
To run Klaus on a web server, you need to configure the server. Here, we will be using uwsgi to run Klaus. First, create a new configuration file for the uwsgi with the following command:
sudo nano /etc/uwsgi/klaus.ini
Add the following content to the file:
[uwsgi]
socket = 127.0.0.1:3031
chdir = /path/to/klaus
module = klaus.wsgi:application
master = true
vacuum = true
Replace /path/to/klaus with the actual path to the Klaus directory.
Save and close the file.
To start the Klaus web server, run the following command:
sudo uwsgi --ini /etc/uwsgi/klaus.ini
This command will start the Klaus web server. You can now access Klaus in your web browser by visiting http://127.0.0.1:3031.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install Klaus on EndeavourOS. Now, you can browse your Git repository history and files using Klaus.
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!
