RhodeCode is a powerful and secure source code management system that provides comprehensive tools for code collaboration, repository management, and version control. It is built with Python and runs on multiple platforms, including Linux.
In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing RhodeCode on MXLinux Latest step by step.
First, we need to install some required dependencies for RhodeCode to work properly:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev libffi-dev python-dev python-pip
Now, we will install the RhodeCode package and its dependencies using pip:
sudo pip install rhodecode
Before we start using RhodeCode, we need to configure it by creating a configuration file. To create a configuration file, run the following command:
paster make-config RhodeCode production.ini
This command will create a default configuration file called production.ini.
Now, open the configuration file in a text editor of your choice:
nano production.ini
In the configuration file, you need to replace the database URL and credentials with your own database information. Below is an example for PostgreSQL:
sqlalchemy.url = postgresql://user:password@localhost:5432/rhodecode
Remember to replace user, password, and rhodecode with your own values.
You can also change other settings such as the server port and the installation directory.
Save and close the file.
Now, we need to initialize the database by running the following command:
paster setup-app production.ini
This command will create the necessary tables and data structures in the database.
Finally, let's start the RhodeCode server by running the following command:
paster serve production.ini
If everything is set up correctly, you should see RhodeCode's web interface in your web browser at http://localhost:5000.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured RhodeCode on your MXLinux Latest instance.
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!
