How to Install Pagure on NetBSD

Pagure is a software forge that provides Git and Mercurial hosting, pull requests, issue tracking, and more. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Pagure on NetBSD.

Step 1: Install Dependencies

First, you need to install the following dependencies:

pkgin install python3 py3-virtualenv nginx

Step 2: Create a Virtual Environment

Create a new virtual environment for Pagure:

virtualenv-3 pagure-venv

Activate the virtual environment:

source pagure-venv/bin/activate

Step 3: Install Pagure

Clone the latest version of Pagure from the Git repository:

git clone https://pagure.io/pagure.git

Change the working directory to the Pagure directory:

cd pagure

Install Pagure and its dependencies using pip:

pip install --editable .

Step 4: Configure Pagure

Create a configuration file for Pagure:

cp pagure.example.cfg pagure.cfg

Edit the pagure.cfg file and modify the following settings:

• FQDN: Set this to the fully qualified domain name of your server.
• SECRET_KEY: Generate a new secret key and set it here.

Step 5: Configure Nginx

Create a new Nginx configuration file for Pagure:

sudo nano /usr/pkg/etc/nginx/conf.d/pagure.conf

Paste the following configuration into the file:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name yourdomain.com;
    return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri;
}

server {
    listen 443 ssl;
    server_name yourdomain.com;

    ssl_certificate /path/to/ssl/certificate;
    ssl_certificate_key /path/to/ssl/certificate/key;

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:5000;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    }
}

Replace yourdomain.com with your domain name and the paths to your SSL certificate and key.

Restart Nginx to apply the new configuration:

sudo /usr/pkg/sbin/nginx -s reload

Step 6: Start Pagure

Start a new Pagure instance:

pserve pagure.ini

Pagure should now be up and running. You can access the Pagure web interface by navigating to https://yourdomain.com in your 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!
