How to Install Cgit on Fedora CoreOS Latest

Cgit is a web interface for Git repositories. It allows you to browse and navigate repositories in a web browser. This tutorial will guide you on how to install Cgit on Fedora CoreOS Latest.

Step 1 – Install Dependencies

Before you can install Cgit, you need to install its dependencies. You can do this by running the following command:

sudo dnf install -y git fcgi spawn-fcgi nginx

This command will install Git, FastCGI, Nginx, and Spawn-FCGI.

Step 2 – Download Cgit

The next step is to download Cgit. You can do this by running the following command:

git clone https://git.zx2c4.com/cgit

This command will create a directory called cgit in your current directory and download the Cgit source code.

Step 3 – Compile and Install Cgit

Once you have downloaded Cgit, you need to compile and install it. You can do this by running the following commands:

cd cgit
sudo make install PREFIX=/usr/local

This command will compile Cgit and install it to /usr/local/bin.

Step 4 – Configure Nginx

The final step is to configure Nginx to serve your Cgit repositories. You can do this by creating a new Nginx configuration file at /etc/nginx/conf.d/cgit.conf with the following content:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name example.com; 

    root /var/git;
    index cgit.cgi;

    location / {
        include fastcgi_params;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /usr/local/bin/cgit.cgi;
        fastcgi_pass unix:/run/spawn-fcgi.sock;
        fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $request_uri;
    }
}

Change example.com to your domain name, and /var/git to the path where your Git repositories are located.

Finally, restart Nginx by running the following command:

sudo systemctl restart nginx
