How to Install RhodeCode on OpenSUSE Latest

RhodeCode is a powerful source code management platform that helps developers collaborate and manage their code securely. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install RhodeCode on OpenSUSE latest.

Prerequisites

Before we start with the installation, make sure that your OpenSUSE system is up to date and you have root access.

Step 1: Install Required Dependencies

Before we can install RhodeCode, we need to make sure that all the required dependencies are installed. Open your terminal and run the following command:

sudo zypper install python3 python3-pip python3-setuptools python3-wheel python3-cffi libffi-devel libgit2 libgit2-devel postgresql

Step 2: Install RhodeCode

Once all the required dependencies are installed, we can move on to installing RhodeCode. To install RhodeCode, run the following command in your terminal:

sudo pip3 install rhodecode

This will install RhodeCode on your OpenSUSE system.

Step 3: Set Up RhodeCode

Now that RhodeCode is installed, we need to configure it. First, we need to create a PostgreSQL database for RhodeCode. Run the following command to create a new database:

sudo -u postgres createdb rhodecode

Next, we need to create a RhodeCode configuration file. Run the following command to create a new configuration file:

sudo touch /etc/rhodecode.ini
sudo vi /etc/rhodecode.ini

Enter the following configuration settings into the file:

[app:main]
force_https = false
auth_force_ldap = false
auth_force_oauth = false
auth_force_teamcity = false

[server:main]
port = 5000
host = 0.0.0.0
threadpool_workers = 20

[paste.server_runner]
use = egg:waitress#main
threads = 2

[app:rhodecode-enterprise-ce]
use = call:rhodecode.config.middleware:make_app
pyramid.reload_templates = false
pyramid.debug_authorization = false
pyramid.debug_notfound = false
pyramid.debug_routematch = false
rhodecode.external_template_dir= $ENV_HOME/repo-listener/templates
rhodecode.external_static_dir= $ENV_HOME/repo-listener/static
rhodecode.who_response_headers='WWW-Authenticate, Authorization, X-XSS-Protection, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options'
rhodecode.serve_static = true

[rhodecode-enterprise-ce:app_data]
# Store settings at specified path. Unset path, and settings will be stored
# in $ENV_HOME/repo-listener/services/rhodecode/local.ini
local_store.path = 


[rhodecode-enterprise-ce:app_cfgs]
# Check if settings exist in database if not copy them locally
auto_update = true

[app:routing_algs]
use = call:rhodecode.config.routing:make_app

[app:sample]
use = call:rhodecode.config.sample:make_app

Save and exit the file.

Step 4: Start RhodeCode

To start RhodeCode, run the following command in your terminal:

sudo rhodecode start

This will start RhodeCode on your OpenSUSE system.

Step 5: Access RhodeCode

You can now access RhodeCode by opening your web browser and navigating to http://YOUR_SERVER_IP:5000. You'll be prompted to create an admin user account during your first time login.

Congratulations, you have successfully installed and configured RhodeCode on your OpenSUSE system. You can now use it to manage your code 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!
