How to Install GitPrep on Fedora CoreOS Latest

GitPrep is a lightweight Git repository hosting application. It provides a web interface for creating, managing, and sharing Git repositories. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install GitPrep on Fedora CoreOS Latest.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, you need the following:

• A Fedora CoreOS Latest server
• A user account with sudo privileges
• Basic knowledge of command line interface

Step 1: Install Required Software Packages

The first step is to install the required software packages. Run the following command to update the package index and install the necessary packages:

sudo dnf update
sudo dnf install git httpd perl-App-cpanminus perl-devel perl-Test-Simple fcgi fcgi-perl

Step 2: Install GitPrep

The next step is to download the GitPrep code from the GitHub repository. You can download the code by running the following command:

git clone https://github.com/yuki-kimoto/gitprep.git

Once the code is downloaded, navigate to the GitPrep directory and run the following command to install the application:

cd gitprep
sudo make install

Step 3: Configure Apache Virtual Host

The next step is to configure the Apache virtual host to serve GitPrep. Create a new virtual host configuration file in the Apache conf.d directory:

sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf.d/gitprep.conf

Add the following content to the file:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName gitprep.example.com
    DocumentRoot /var/www/gitprep
    AddHandler fcgid-script .fcgi
    DirectoryIndex gitprep.fcgi
    <Directory /var/www/gitprep>
        Options +ExecCGI
        AddHandler fcgid-script .fcgi
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
        SetEnv GIT_PREP_CONFIG /etc/gitprep.conf
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Replace gitprep.example.com with your server's domain name or IP address. Save and close the file.

Step 4: Configure GitPrep

The next step is to create a configuration file for GitPrep. Run the following command to create a new configuration file:

sudo nano /etc/gitprep.conf

Add the following content to the file:

db_dsn     dbi:mysql:dbname=gitprep;host=localhost
db_user    gitprep
db_pass    your_secret_password
external_from   [email protected]

Replace your_secret_password with a strong and secure password. Save and close the file.

Step 5: Start the Services

The last step is to start the required services. Run the following commands to start Apache and enable it to start at boot time:

sudo systemctl start httpd
sudo systemctl enable httpd

Run the following command to start the GitPrep FastCGI server:

sudo /var/www/gitprep/gitprep.fcgi

Step 6: Access GitPrep

Your GitPrep installation is now complete. You can access it by navigating to the server's domain name or IP address in your web browser:

http://gitprep.example.com/

Replace gitprep.example.com with your server's domain name or IP address.
