GitPrep is a lightweight Git repository hosting application. It provides a web interface for creating, managing, and sharing Git repositories. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install GitPrep on Fedora CoreOS Latest.
Before you begin, you need the following:
The first step is to install the required software packages. Run the following command to update the package index and install the necessary packages:
sudo dnf update
sudo dnf install git httpd perl-App-cpanminus perl-devel perl-Test-Simple fcgi fcgi-perl
The next step is to download the GitPrep code from the GitHub repository. You can download the code by running the following command:
git clone https://github.com/yuki-kimoto/gitprep.git
Once the code is downloaded, navigate to the GitPrep directory and run the following command to install the application:
cd gitprep
sudo make install
The next step is to configure the Apache virtual host to serve GitPrep. Create a new virtual host configuration file in the Apache conf.d directory:
sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf.d/gitprep.conf
Add the following content to the file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName gitprep.example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/gitprep
AddHandler fcgid-script .fcgi
DirectoryIndex gitprep.fcgi
<Directory /var/www/gitprep>
Options +ExecCGI
AddHandler fcgid-script .fcgi
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
SetEnv GIT_PREP_CONFIG /etc/gitprep.conf
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Replace gitprep.example.com with your server's domain name or IP address. Save and close the file.
The next step is to create a configuration file for GitPrep. Run the following command to create a new configuration file:
sudo nano /etc/gitprep.conf
Add the following content to the file:
db_dsn dbi:mysql:dbname=gitprep;host=localhost
db_user gitprep
db_pass your_secret_password
external_from gitprep@example.com
Replace your_secret_password with a strong and secure password. Save and close the file.
The last step is to start the required services. Run the following commands to start Apache and enable it to start at boot time:
sudo systemctl start httpd
sudo systemctl enable httpd
Run the following command to start the GitPrep FastCGI server:
sudo /var/www/gitprep/gitprep.fcgi
Your GitPrep installation is now complete. You can access it by navigating to the server's domain name or IP address in your web browser:
http://gitprep.example.com/
Replace gitprep.example.com with your server's domain name or IP address.
In this tutorial, you learned how to install GitPrep on Fedora CoreOS Latest. You also learned how to configure Apache virtual hosting, create a GitPrep configuration file, and start the required services.
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!
