Gitlist is a simple and elegant Git repository viewer that you can install on your server. In this guide, we will show you how to install Gitlist on Void Linux.
Before we begin, make sure that you have the following:
Gitlist depends on Git and Composer. Run the following command to install them:
xbps-install -S git composer
Run the following command to download and extract Gitlist:
wget https://github.com/klaussilveira/gitlist/archive/master.zip
unzip master.zip -d /var/www/
This command will download the latest version of Gitlist from GitHub and extract it into the /var/www/ directory.
Change into the Gitlist directory and run the following command to install the dependencies using Composer:
cd /var/www/gitlist-master/
composer install --no-dev
This command will install all the required dependencies for Gitlist.
Copy the sample configuration file to config.ini:
cp config.ini-example config.ini
Update the repositories[] parameter with the path to your Git repositories:
repositories[] = "/path/to/repository"
Configure your webserver to serve Gitlist. Here's an example configuration for Apache:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName gitlist.example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/gitlist-master/public
<Directory "/var/www/gitlist-master/public">
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
Make sure to replace gitlist.example.com with your server's domain name or IP address.
Restart your web server and point your web browser to http://gitlist.example.com (replace with your domain name or IP address). You should see Gitlist in action!
That's it! You have now installed Gitlist on your Void Linux server. Enjoy exploring your Git repositories with Gitlist!
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!
