In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of Gogs, a self-hosted Git service, on Manjaro Linux.
First, we need to install some dependencies that Gogs requires. In a terminal window, run the following command:
sudo pacman -S git go sqlite
This command will install Git, Go, and SQLite.
Next, we need to download and install Gogs. You can download the latest version of Gogs from their official website, https://gogs.io/. Alternatively, you can download the latest version from the command line using wget. For example:
wget https://dl.gogs.io/gogs_latest_linux_amd64.tar.gz
Extract the downloaded file by running the following command:
tar -xvf gogs_latest_linux_amd64.tar.gz
Before we can start using Gogs, we need to configure it. Navigate to the extracted Gogs directory and copy the app.ini.sample file to app.ini:
cd gogs
cp -r ./custom/conf/app.ini.sample ./custom/conf/app.ini
Next, open app.ini with your favorite text editor and configure the settings based on your needs. You will need to update the following settings:
RUN_USERRUN_MODEAPP_NAMESSH_PORTAfter you have configured Gogs, save and close the file.
To run Gogs, we will use the Gogs web server. You can start the server by running the following command:
./gogs web
This will start the Gogs web server on http://localhost:3000/. Open your web browser and navigate to the address to access the Gogs setup page.
Follow the setup wizard to create a new administrator account and initialize Gogs. Once the setup is complete, you can access Gogs using your web browser.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Gogs on your Manjaro Linux installation. You can now use Gogs to host your Git repositories.
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!
