How to Install Sourcehut on Fedora Server Latest

Introduction

Sourcehut is a web-based software development platform that provides a suite of tools to manage software projects, such as version control, issue tracking, and build services. In this tutorial we will show you how to install Sourcehut on Fedora Server Latest.

Prerequisites

• A Fedora Server Latest installed and configured with ssh access.
• A sudo user.

Step 1 - Install Dependencies

Before installing Sourcehut, we need to install the following dependencies:

$ sudo dnf install tar git gcc golang

Step 2 - Clone Sourcehut

Next, we need to clone the Sourcehut repository from its Git repository on your server:

$ git clone https://git.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/sr.ht

Step 3 - Build the Sourcehut

After cloning the repository, move into the sourcehut directory and build the sourcehut:

$ cd sr.ht
$ make all

Step 4 - Install Sourcehut

Once the sourcehut is built, run the following command to install the sourcehut on your system:

$ sudo make install

Step 5 - Configure Sourcehut

After installing the Sourcehut, we need to configure it before starting it. Create a new directory using the following command:

$ sudo mkdir /etc/sourcehut

Then, create a new configuration file inside the /etc/sourcehut directory using your favorite text editor with the following content:

[server]
bind = "localhost:3000"
root = "/var/lib/sourcehut"
domain = "example.com"

[services]
gitd = "/usr/local/bin/gitd"
builds = "/usr/local/bin/builds"
lists = "/usr/local/bin/lists"
dispatch = "/usr/local/bin/dispatch"

[secrets]
path = "/etc/sourcehut/tokens/secret"

In the above configuration file change the example.com to your domain name.

Create the directory for secrets like this:

$ sudo mkdir /etc/sourcehut/tokens

And create a new secret:

$ sudo dd if=/dev/urandom of=/etc/sourcehut/tokens/secret bs=32 count=1

Make sure that the sourcehut directory and configuration file are readable by the user under which the sourcehut will run:

$ sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /etc/sourcehut
$ sudo chmod -R 755 /etc/sourcehut

Step 6 - Start Sourcehut

Once Sourcehut is installed and configured, we can start sourcehut using the following command:

$ systemctl start sr.ht.service

To check the status of the sourcehut, run:

$ systemctl status sr.ht.service

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Sourcehut on Fedora Server Latest. You can now use Sourcehut to manage your software projects.
