RhodeCode is an open-source version control platform used for managing Git, Mercurial, and Subversion repositories. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of RhodeCode on a POP! OS system.
Before proceeding, ensure that you have:
We will create a virtual environment and install RhodeCode on it.
Open a terminal on your POP! OS system.
Enter the following command to install virtualenv:
sudo apt-get install virtualenv
Now, navigate to the directory where you want to create the virtual environment and enter the following command:
virtualenv rhodecode_env
Ensure to replace “rhodecode_env” with your preferred name.
Activate the virtual environment by running the following command:
source rhodecode_env/bin/activate
Next, we will install RhodeCode on your virtual environment. To do that, enter the following command in your terminal:
pip install rhodecode
After a successful installation, you can now launch RhodeCode using the following command:
pserve development.ini
The command activates the RhodeCode server on http://localhost:5000. You can now access your RhodeCode instance through a web portal.
Finally, we will configure RhodeCode to use your registered domain name.
Run the following command to edit the configuration file:
nano ~/rhodecode.ini
Add the following values to the configuration file:
[server:main]
host = YOUR-DOMAIN-OR-IP-ADDRESS
port = 80
Save and close the configuration file by pressing Ctrl + X, Y, and then Enter.
Restart the server:
pserve ~/rhodecode.ini
Congratulations! RhodeCode is now ready to be used on your POP! OS system.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install RhodeCode on a POP! OS system. You can now create and manage your repositories from your 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!
