How to Install Pagure on Void Linux

Pagure is an open source, self-hosted Git service that allows you to host your repositories, track bugs, and collaborate with other developers. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the installation process of Pagure on Void Linux.

Prerequisites

Before proceeding with the installation, ensure that you have the following prerequisites met:

• A user account with sudo privileges.
• A working installation of Void Linux.
• A stable internet connection.

Step 1: Install Dependencies

The first step is to install the necessary dependencies that are required for Pagure to run on Void Linux. Open your terminal and run the following command:

sudo xbps-install git python3 python3-setuptools python3-pip python3-virtualenv httpd gcc automake autoconf libffi-dev openssl-dev

Step 2: Install Pagure

Once the dependencies are installed, we need to create a virtual environment to install Pagure. Run the following command to create a virtual environment for Pagure:

sudo virtualenv -p python3 /opt/pagure

Activate the virtual environment by running the following command:

. /opt/pagure/bin/activate

Now, we can install Pagure by running the following command:

sudo -H pip install pagure

Step 3: Configure HTTPD

We need to configure the Apache HTTPD server to serve Pagure. Open the default configuration file by running the following command:

sudo vi /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

Add the following lines at the end of the file:

WSGIDaemonProcess pagure user=pagure group=pagure threads=5
WSGIScriptAlias / /var/www/pagure/pagure.wsgi
<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName your.domain.com
    ServerAlias www.your.domain.com
    <Directory /var/www/pagure>
        WSGIProcessGroup pagure
        WSGIApplicationGroup %{GLOBAL}
        Order deny,allow
        Allow from all
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Replace your.domain.com with your own domain name. Save and exit the file by typing :wq.

Step 4: Create the Pagure Configuration File

Copy the Pagure configuration file example by running the following command:

sudo cp /opt/pagure/share/pagure/pagure.cfg.example /etc/pagure.cfg

Edit the configuration file by running the following command:

sudo vi /etc/pagure.cfg

Update the following settings:

[site]
# This is the full URL to your Pagure instance.
public_url = http://your.domain.com/

[smtp]
# This is the URL of your SMTP server.
server = smtp.example.com

Replace your.domain.com and smtp.example.com with your own domain name and SMTP server.

Step 5: Initialize the Database

Initialize the Pagure database by running the following command:

sudo pagure-admin db upgrade /etc/pagure.cfg

Step 6: Start the HTTPD and Pagure Services

Start the HTTPD and Pagure services by running the following commands:

sudo service httpd start
sudo pagure --debug serve /etc/pagure.cfg

If everything is configured correctly, you can access your Pagure instance by going to http://your.domain.com/ in your web browser.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured Pagure on Void Linux.

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!
