Kallithea is a free and open-source source code management system that supports Git, Mercurial, and Subversion. Fedora CoreOS is a lightweight operating system designed for containerized workloads.
In this tutorial, we will learn how to install Kallithea on Fedora CoreOS Latest.
To install Kallithea on Fedora CoreOS Latest, you will need:
Before we install Kallithea, we need to install the dependencies. Run the following command:
sudo dnf install -y python3-pip python3-devel gcc postgresql-server postgresql-devel libffi-devel openssl-devel
This will install the necessary packages required for Kallithea.
Kallithea stores its data in a PostgreSQL database, so we need to create a user and a database for it. Run the following commands to create a PostgreSQL user and database:
sudo postgresql-setup --initdb
sudo systemctl start postgresql
sudo systemctl enable postgresql
sudo su postgres
psql
CREATE USER kallithea WITH PASSWORD 'password';
CREATE DATABASE kallithea OWNER kallithea;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE kallithea TO kallithea;
\q
exit
Replace 'password' with a strong password of your choice.
Once the dependencies are installed and the PostgreSQL user and database are created, we can now install Kallithea.
Run the following commands to install Kallithea:
sudo pip3 install kallithea==0.7.3
This will install the latest stable version of Kallithea.
Before we start Kallithea, we need to configure it by creating a configuration file.
Run the following commands to create a configuration file for Kallithea:
sudo mkdir /etc/kallithea
sudo chown -R kallithea:kallithea /etc/kallithea
sudo su kallithea
cat <<EOF > /etc/kallithea/kallithea.ini
[kallithea]
debug=false
force_private=false
mercurial_max_commits=100
mercurial_chunk_size=10
default_encoding=utf-8
server_start_threads = 1
max_thread_lifetime=60
max_threads=50
checkout_timeout=300
extensions =
cache_type=memory
cache_memory=1000000
cache_expire=3600
secret_key = [insert a strong secret key here]
[policy:repositories]
meta.allow_read=false
[*]
use = egg:kallithea#main
EOF
Replace '[insert a strong secret key here]' with your own custom secret key.
Now that we have successfully installed and configured Kallithea, we can start the application.
Run the following command to start Kallithea:
pserve /etc/kallithea/kallithea.ini --reload
This will start the Kallithea application.
You should now be able to access Kallithea by visiting http://[your-server-ip]:5000 in your web browser.
In this tutorial, we have learned how to install Kallithea on Fedora CoreOS Latest. We have also covered the dependencies required for Kallithea, creating a PostgreSQL user and database, and configuring Kallithea. With this knowledge, you can now easily set up Kallithea for your source code management needs.
