In this tutorial, we are going to learn how to install OneDev, an all-in-one DevOps platform that enables you to manage your entire application lifecycle under one roof, on MXLinux.
Before we start, ensure that you have the following:
Once you have met the above requirements, let's proceed with the installation.
We need to ensure that all our system packages are up to date before we proceed with the installation. To do this, execute the following command:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
OneDev requires several packages and dependencies to function correctly. To install these dependencies, execute the following command:
sudo apt install -y git curl nodejs npm unzip
Create a directory where we will clone OneDev's repository and download it from GitHub.
sudo mkdir /opt/onedev
cd /opt/onedev
sudo git clone https://github.com/theonedev/onedev.git
Once the download is complete, navigate to the onedev directory and run the following command:
sudo ./onedev start
This command will start OneDev and configure it to run on port 6610 by default.
To verify that OneDev is running successfully, open your web browser and navigate to:
http://your-server-ip:6610
If everything has been installed correctly, you should see the OneDev login page. From here, you can create an account and start using OneDev.
OneDev is configured to use HTTP by default. However, it's strongly recommended to configure HTTPS for improved security. To do this, we need to generate an SSL certificate using Let's Encrypt.
Certbot is a tool that we can use to generate an SSL certificate for our domain. To install Certbot, execute the following command:
sudo apt install certbot
Once Certbot is installed, we can generate an SSL certificate for our domain. To do this, execute the following command, replacing your-domain-name with your actual domain name.
sudo certbot certonly --standalone -d your-domain-name
Once the SSL certificate is generated, we need to configure the SSL options in OneDev's configuration file.
Open the OneDev Configuration file located in /opt/onedev/server/conf/onedev-config.properties:
sudo nano /opt/onedev/server/conf/onedev-config.properties
Add the following lines to the configuration file:
server.port = 443
server.ssl.enabled = true
server.ssl.key-store=/etc/letsencrypt/live/your-domain-name/keystore.jks
server.ssl.key-alias=letsencrypt
server.ssl.key-store-password=changeit
Save and close the file.
To apply the changes made to OneDev's configuration file, we need to restart it. Execute the following command to stop OneDev:
sudo ./onedev stop
And the following command to start OneDev again:
sudo ./onedev start
We have successfully installed and configured OneDev on MXLinux Latest. OneDev is a versatile platform that can be used for various application lifecycle management tasks. You can now proceed to use OneDev to manage your projects and collaborate with your team.
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!
