How to Install SCM Manager on Fedora Server Latest?

SCM Manager is a web application that lets you manage your source code repositories. It provides a platform to host and manage Git, Mercurial, and Subversion repositories. In this tutorial, we will learn how to install SCM Manager on Fedora Server Latest.

Prerequisites

Before we proceed, let's make sure that the following prerequisites are installed on the Fedora server:

• Java Development Kit (JDK) version 8 or later.

Install SCM Manager

Let's start by installing SCM Manager on Fedora Server Latest. The installation process involves the following steps:

Step 1: Download SCM Manager

First, visit the official SCM Manager website at https://www.scm-manager.org and navigate to the Downloads section. From there, download the latest version of SCM Manager for Linux.

Step 2: Extract the SCM Manager Package

Next, extract the downloaded package to a directory of your choice. Suppose we extract it to /opt/scm-manager. Run the following command to extract the package:

$ sudo tar -xvf <scm-manager-package>.tar.gz -C /opt/

Step 3: Configure the SCM Manager Service

The next step is to configure the SCM Manager service. We will create a service file /etc/systemd/system/scm.service to manage the SCM Manager service.

$ sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/scm.service

Copy and paste the following contents in the service file:

[Unit]
Description=SCM Manager Service
After=network.target

[Service]
User=root
ExecStart=/opt/scm-server/bin/scm-server
Restart=always

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Step 4: Start and Enable the SCM Manager Service

Now, start the SCM Manager service and enable it to automatically start at boot time using the following commands:

$ sudo systemctl start scm
$ sudo systemctl enable scm

Step 5: Configure the Firewall

By default, the Fedora server doesn't allow external connections to the SCM Manager application running on port 8080. We need to configure the firewall to allow incoming connections to port 8080.

$ sudo firewall-cmd --add-port=8080/tcp --permanent
$ sudo firewall-cmd --reload

Step 6: Access the SCM Manager Web Interface

Finally, open a web browser and navigate to http://<server-ip>:8080 to access the SCM Manager web interface. The default username is admin with the password admin.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we have learned how to install SCM Manager on Fedora Server Latest. Now, you can use this platform to manage and host your source code repositories.
