Gitlist is a web-based Git repository browser that allows users to manage their Git repositories using a modern interface. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Gitlist on NetBSD.
Before you begin with the installation process, make sure that you have the following:
The first step is to install Composer on your NetBSD system. Composer is an open-source package manager for PHP that is used to manage dependencies for your PHP-based applications.
You can install Composer by executing the following commands:
$ cd /usr/pkgsrc/www/php-composer
$ make install clean
Next, you need to download Gitlist using Composer. To install Gitlist, execute the following commands:
$ cd /path/to/webroot
$ composer create-project gitlist/gitlist
This will install Gitlist in the gitlist directory inside your web root.
Once the installation is complete, you need to configure Gitlist to work with your Git repositories. You can do this by editing the config.ini file in the Gitlist directory.
$ cd /path/to/webroot/gitlist
$ cp config.ini-example config.ini
$ vi config.ini
In the config.ini file, you can specify the location of your Git repositories, the title of your Gitlist instance, and other settings.
Finally, you need to configure your web server to serve Gitlist. If you're using Apache, create a new virtual host configuration file in the /usr/pkg/etc/httpd/vhosts directory.
$ cd /usr/pkg/etc/httpd/vhosts
$ cp httpd-vhosts.conf-example httpd-vhosts.conf
$ vi httpd-vhosts.conf
In the virtual host configuration file, add the following lines:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName gitlist.example.com
DocumentRoot /path/to/webroot/gitlist/public
<Directory "/path/to/webroot/gitlist/public">
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Replace gitlist.example.com with your own domain name or IP address.
Save the configuration file and restart your web server.
$ /etc/rc.d/apache restart
That's it! You have successfully installed Gitlist on NetBSD and configured it to work with your Git repositories. You can now access Gitlist by visiting the URL of your virtual host in a web browser.
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!
