Trac is an open-source web-based project management and bug-tracking system. In this tutorial, we will learn how to install Trac on EndeavourOS Latest.
Before we proceed, ensure that you have the following:
First, we need to install the required packages for Trac to function correctly.
sudo pacman -S trac
This command will install the Trac package along with its dependencies.
Next, we need to configure the Trac environment by creating a new project.
sudo trac-admin /var/trac/project initenv
Here, replace “project” with your project name. Then, you will be asked to answer a few questions related to your project.
Once the Trac environment is set up, we can configure the web server to access the project. In this tutorial, we will be using Apache as our web server.
sudo pacman -S apache
This will install Apache on your system.
Next, we need to create a new virtual host configuration file for our project:
sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf/extra/httpd-trac.conf
Add the following lines to the file and save it:
ServerName yourdomain.com
DocumentRoot "/var/trac/project/htdocs"
<Location />
SetHandler mod_python
PythonInterpreter main_interpreter
PythonHandler trac.web.modpython_frontend
PythonOption TracEnvParentDir /var/trac
PythonOption TracUriRoot /
</Location>
In the above code, replace “yourdomain.com” with your domain name and “project” with your project’s name.
Now, enable the Trac Apache module and restart the web server:
sudo /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
sudo systemctl restart httpd
Lastly, we will set up the Trac permissions to control access to our project.
sudo chown -R http:http /var/trac
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/trac
sudo chmod -R g+w /var/trac
These commands will change the ownership and permissions of the project directory to allow Apache to access it.
After completing the above steps, you should now be able to access Trac in your web browser by entering your domain name or IP address:
http://yourdomain.com
Replace “yourdomain.com” with your domain name or IP address.
That’s it! You have successfully installed Trac on EndeavourOS Latest. You can now use Trac for project management and bug tracking.
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!
