How to Install Sourcegraph on MXLinux Latest

Sourcegraph is an open-source code search and navigation tool that allows you to explore and understand your codebase quickly. In this tutorial, we'll walk you through the process of installing Sourcegraph on MXLinux Latest.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure you have the following prerequisites installed:

Step 1: Download Sourcegraph Configuration Files

The first step is to download the Sourcegraph configuration files. You can do this by running the following command in your terminal:

git clone https://github.com/sourcegraph/deploy-sourcegraph.git

This will download the configuration files into a new directory called deploy-sourcegraph.

Step 2: Edit Sourcegraph Configuration Files

Next, we need to edit the Sourcegraph configuration files to customize our installation. To do this, navigate to the deploy-sourcegraph directory and open the .env file in your favorite text editor:

cd deploy-sourcegraph
nano .env

In this file, you can customize various settings such as the domain name, email address, and storage options. You can also enable or disable features such as authentication, code intelligence, and more.

For example, to set the domain name for your installation, look for the following line:

SRC_FRONTEND_INTERNAL=sourcegraph.example.com:3080

Replace sourcegraph.example.com with your own domain name.

Step 3: Start Sourcegraph

Now we're ready to start Sourcegraph. To do this, simply run the following command:

docker-compose up -d

This will start Sourcegraph in the background. It may take a few minutes for the containers to start up, so be patient.

Once the containers have started, you can access Sourcegraph by visiting the URL you configured in the .env file.

Step 4: Enjoy Sourcegraph

Congratulations! You've successfully installed Sourcegraph on MXLinux Latest. Now you can explore and navigate your codebase with ease.

If you experience any issues or have any questions, be sure to check out the Sourcegraph documentation or community resources.
