SCM Manager is an open source web-based Git, Mercurial, and Subversion repository manager. It allows you to manage your code repositories, access control, and user management from a single point of entry with an easy-to-use interface. This tutorial will guide you through the steps to install SCM Manager on Kali Linux Latest.
Before we begin, you will need to have these prerequisites installed on your Kali Linux:
You can install Java JDK 11 by running the following command:
sudo apt install openjdk-11-jdk
You can download the latest version of SCM Manager from the official website:
wget https://maven.scm-manager.org/nexus/content/repositories/releases/sonia/scm/scm-server/2.33.0/scm-server-2.33.0-app.tar.gz
You need to extract the downloaded SCM Manager package by running the following command:
tar -xvzf scm-server-2.33.0-app.tar.gz
Create a new user for SCM Manager:
sudo useradd -r scm
Change the ownership of the extracted folder:
sudo chown -R scm:scm scm-server/
You can start the SCM Manager server by running the following command:
sudo -u scm ./scm-server/bin/scm-server start
You can confirm that the server is running by checking for its process:
sudo -u scm jps
You can access SCM Manager from your web browser by entering the following URL:
http://localhost:8080/scm/
In case you want to make it available on the network, ensure that the port is open and available for external connections.
SCM Manager is now installed and running on your Kali Linux Latest machine. You can now create and manage your code repositories easily with this tool.
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!
