RhodeCode is a powerful source code management tool that allows users to manage their repositories and codes safely and efficiently. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of RhodeCode on Kali Linux.
To begin, you need to install the required dependencies for RhodeCode to run. Open the terminal and run the following command to install Python, Git, and PostgreSQL:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python python-dev python-setuptools python-pip git-core postgresql libpq-dev
Once the dependencies are installed, you can proceed to install RhodeCode. Use the following command to download and install RhodeCode:
sudo pip install rhodecode
Next, you need to create a new PostgreSQL database and user for RhodeCode. Run the following command to log in to the PostgreSQL shell:
sudo su - postgres
psql
Create a new database and user with the following commands:
CREATE DATABASE rhodecode;
CREATE USER rhodecode WITH PASSWORD 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE rhodecode TO rhodecode;
Exit the PostgreSQL shell using the command \q.
Now that you have installed RhodeCode and set up PostgreSQL, you need to configure RhodeCode to connect with the database. Navigate to the directory where RhodeCode is installed and open the production.ini file:
cd /etc/rhodecode/
nano production.ini
Locate the following lines in the production.ini file:
# SQL database configuration
# --------------------------------
sqlalchemy.url = sqlite:////var/lib/rhodecode/data/rhodecode.db
Replace the SQLite database configuration with the following:
# SQL database configuration
# --------------------------------
sqlalchemy.url = postgresql://rhodecode:password@localhost/rhodecode
Save and exit the production.ini file.
Finally, you can start RhodeCode with the following command:
sudo service rhodecode start
Wait for a few seconds until RhodeCode is fully started.
Once RhodeCode is running, you can access it by opening your web browser and navigating to http://localhost:5000. You can log in using the default credentials:
That's it! You have successfully installed RhodeCode on your Kali Linux machine. You can now start managing your repositories and codes safely and efficiently.
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!
