Pagure is a web-based code collaboration platform that allows developers to manage their Git repositories, issue tracking, and pull requests. In this tutorial, we will explain how to install Pagure on Windows 11.
Before installing Pagure, you need to have the following prerequisites installed on your Windows 11 machine:
First, you need to clone the Pagure repository from GitHub. To do this, open the Command Prompt and navigate to the directory where you want to store the repository. Then, run the following command:
git clone https://pagure.io/pagure
This will download the latest version of Pagure from the repository.
After cloning the repository, you need to create a virtual environment to isolate the Python packages that Pagure requires. To create a virtual environment, run the following command:
python -m venv env
This will create a new virtual environment in a directory named "env."
To activate the virtual environment, run the following command:
.\env\Scripts\activate
This will activate the virtual environment and allow you to install Pagure's required packages.
To install Pagure's required packages, navigate to the cloned repository's directory and run the following command:
pip install -r requirements.txt
This will download and install all the necessary packages required by Pagure.
After installing the required packages, you need to configure Pagure's settings appropriately. Navigate to the "pagure.cfg" file located in the repository's directory, and modify the settings according to your needs.
For example, if you want to change the database settings, modify the following lines in pagure.cfg:
SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI = 'postgresql://pagure:pagure@localhost/pagure'
To initialize the Pagure database, run the following command:
python pagure-db init
This will create the necessary tables and sequences in the PostgreSQL database.
After initializing the database, you can start the Pagure server by running the following command:
python pagure.py
This will start the Pagure server and allow you to access it through your web browser at "http://localhost:5000."
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Pagure on your Windows 11 machine. Now you can start using Pagure to manage your Git repositories, issue tracking, and pull requests.
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!
