RhodeCode is a free and open-source platform used for source code management. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing RhodeCode on your Manjaro machine.
Before we proceed with the installation process, make sure that the following prerequisites are met:
First, we need to install some dependencies required by RhodeCode. Open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo pacman -S git nginx postgresql python-pip
This command will install Git, Nginx, PostgreSQL, and pip.
Once the dependencies are installed, we can proceed with the installation of RhodeCode. Run the following command to install RhodeCode:
sudo pip3 install -U rhodecode
This command will install the latest version of RhodeCode. During the installation process, you will be prompted to select the database server you want to use. Choose PostgreSQL or MySQL and provide the necessary information, such as the database username, password, and hostname.
After the installation of RhodeCode is complete, we need to configure Nginx to serve RhodeCode. Create a new Nginx configuration file for RhodeCode by running the following command:
sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/rhodecode
Paste the following configuration in the file:
server {
listen 80;
server_name your.domain.com; // change this to your domain name
location / {
proxy_pass http://localhost:5000;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
}
}
Save and close the file by pressing Ctrl+X, then Y, and Enter.
Enable the configuration by creating a symbolic link of the configuration file to the sites-enabled directory by running the following command:
sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/rhodecode /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
Now, restart Nginx by running the following command:
sudo systemctl restart nginx
Finally, we need to configure RhodeCode to use the database server we have installed. To do this, we need to create a configuration file for RhodeCode.
sudo nano /opt/rhodecode/config.ini
Paste the following configuration in the file:
[rhodecode]
host = 127.0.0.1
port = 5000
protocol = http
debug = false
[database]
type = postgresql
host = localhost
port = 5432
user = your_username
password = your_password
database = your_database_name
Replace the user, password, and database with the relevant information for your database server.
Save and close the file by pressing Ctrl+X, then Y, and Enter.
Now that we have installed and configured RhodeCode, we can start the RhodeCode server by running the following command:
sudo rhodecode
RhodeCode should now be accessible at http://your.domain.com. You can log in with the default credentials – admin as the username and admin as the password.
In this tutorial, we have learned how to install RhodeCode on Manjaro. The process involved installing dependencies, configuring Nginx, and configuring RhodeCode. Once the installation and configuration are complete, RhodeCode should be up and running, and you can start using it for source code management.
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!
