Kallithea is a free and open-source management system for Git and Mercurial. It provides a web interface for managing code repositories and facilitating code collaboration. Here's how you can install Kallithea on MXLinux Latest:
Before installing Kallithea, it's best to ensure that your system is up-to-date. Open the terminal window and run the following command:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
Kallithea depends on several software packages to function properly. To install these dependencies, run the following commands:
sudo apt install python-pip python-dev build-essential libffi-dev libssl-dev libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev libjpeg-dev zlib1g-dev
Once you've installed the dependencies, you can proceed to install Kallithea. Run the following commands in the terminal window:
sudo pip install --upgrade setuptools
sudo pip install kallithea
Kallithea uses Nginx as a reverse proxy server. To configure Nginx, create a new configuration file in the /etc/nginx/sites-available directory:
sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/kallithea
Add the following lines to the file:
server {
listen 80;
server_name example.com;
location / {
proxy_pass http://localhost:5000;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
}
}
Replace example.com with your domain name. Save the file and exit.
Create a symbolic link to the configuration file in the /etc/nginx/sites-enabled directory:
sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/kallithea /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
Restart Nginx:
sudo systemctl restart nginx
Create a new configuration file for Kallithea:
sudo nano /etc/kallithea/kallithea.ini
Add the following lines to the file:
[server:main]
use = egg:gunicorn#main
bind = 127.0.0.1:5000
workers = 3
timeout = 3600
max_requests = 1000
graceful_timeout = 3600
Save the file and exit.
Start the Kallithea service:
sudo systemctl start kallithea
Check the status to ensure that it's running:
sudo systemctl status kallithea
You should see an output that reads:
● kallithea.service - Kallithea service
Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/kallithea.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
Active: active (running) since ...
Finally, open a web browser and navigate to your Kallithea installation by visiting http://[your.domain.name]. You should see the Kallithea login page.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Kallithea on MXLinux Latest.
