In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps to install RhodeCode on Void Linux. RhodeCode is a powerful and versatile source code management system, suitable for both individual users and large enterprises with complex hierarchies of code repositories.
Before we begin with the installation, let's update the package manager to ensure that we have the latest versions of all packages:
sudo xbps-install -Syyu
RhodeCode has several dependencies that you need to install before you can set up the application. Run the following command to install these dependencies:
sudo xbps-install python3 python3-devel gcc libffi-devel openssl-devel
RhodeCode uses PostgreSQL as its default database, so we need to install it and create a database and user for RhodeCode. Run the following commands to install the PostgreSQL server and client:
sudo xbps-install postgresql postgresql-client
Once PostgreSQL is installed, we need to create a database and user for RhodeCode. Run the following commands to log in to the PostgreSQL server and create a database and user:
sudo su - postgres
psql
CREATE DATABASE rhodecode;
CREATE USER rhodecode WITH PASSWORD 'YOUR_PASSWORD_HERE';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE rhodecode TO rhodecode;
\q
exit
Replace "YOUR_PASSWORD_HERE" with a secure password for the RhodeCode user.
Now that we have installed all the necessary dependencies and set up the database, we can proceed with the RhodeCode installation. Run the following command to download and install the latest version of RhodeCode Community edition:
sudo pip3 install rhodecode
The next step is to configure RhodeCode. We need to create a configuration file for RhodeCode and specify the database connection details.
Run the following commands to create a configuration file and edit it:
sudo mkdir /etc/rhodecode
sudo touch /etc/rhodecode/rhodecode.ini
sudo nano /etc/rhodecode/rhodecode.ini
In the configuration file, add the following lines:
[app:main]
rhodecode.default_encoding=utf-8
rhodecode.multithread=1
rhodecode.trace_errors=true
pylons.globals.app_globals.db_url = postgresql://rhodecode:YOUR_PASSWORD_HERE@localhost/rhodecode
Again, replace "YOUR_PASSWORD_HERE" with the password you used for the RhodeCode user.
We are almost done! The final step is to start the RhodeCode server. Run the following command to start the server:
sudo rhodecode-ctl start
This will start the RhodeCode server on port 5000. You can access it using your web browser at http://localhost:5000.
In this tutorial, we have walked you through the steps to install RhodeCode on Void Linux. You can now use RhodeCode to manage your code repositories with ease. Happy coding!
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!
