Kallithea is a free and open-source source code management system that supports various version control systems, such as Git, Mercurial, and Subversion. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to install Kallithea on Manjaro.
Open the terminal and run the following commands to update your system to the latest version:
sudo pacman -Syu
Now, we will install the dependencies required for Kallithea using the following command:
sudo pacman -S python-pip python-setuptools python-wheel mercurial
Next, we will install Kallithea using pip. Run the following command to install it:
sudo pip install kallithea
After installation, we need to configure Kallithea based on our requirements.
First, navigate to the installation directory of Kallithea using the following command:
cd /opt/kallithea
Next, create a configuration file using the following command:
cp kallithea/development.ini kallithea/production.ini
Now, open the configuration file using any text editor of your choice. We will use nano as follows:
sudo nano kallithea/production.ini
Update the server:main section of the configuration file with the following:
[server:main]
use = egg:waitress#main
listen = *:8080
max_request_body_size = 20971520
Save the file and exit the text editor.
Finally, we will start Kallithea web server using the following command:
paster serve kallithea/production.ini --daemon
Congratulations, you have successfully installed Kallithea on Manjaro!
You can now access Kallithea through a web browser using the address http://localhost:8080.
Note: If you are configuring Kallithea for production, you need to configure the webserver (Nginx, Apache, etc.) to reverse-proxy the requests to the Kallithea web server.
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!
