GitBucket is a self-hosted Git platform built with Java and Scala. It provides a web-based user interface for managing Git repositories, issues, pull requests, and users. GitBucket has a similar interface to GitHub, making it easy for developers to switch between the two platforms. To install GitBucket on CentOS 7, follow these steps: Step 1: Update the System ``` sudo yum update -y ``` Step 2: Install Java Development Kit (OpenJDK) ``` sudo yum install java-1.8.0-openjdk-devel -y ``` Step 3: Download and Install GitBucket ``` sudo wget https://github.com/gitbucket/gitbucket/releases/download/4.37.0/gitbucket.war -O /opt/gitbucket.war ``` Step 4: Create Systemd Service ``` sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/gitbucket.service ``` Add the following content to the `gitbucket.service` file: ```html [Unit] Description=GitBucket After=syslog.target [Service] ExecStart=/usr/bin/java -jar /opt/gitbucket.war User=gitbucket Type=simple Restart=always StandardOutput=syslog StandardError=syslog SyslogIdentifier=gitbucket [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target ``` Save and close the file. Step 5: Create a User for GitBucket ``` sudo adduser gitbucket ``` Step 6: Start GitBucket Service ``` sudo systemctl start gitbucket sudo systemctl enable gitbucket ``` Step 7: Configure Firewall If you have firewall enabled, allow access to the GitBucket service. ``` sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-port=8080/tcp sudo firewall-cmd --reload ``` Now you can access GitBucket by opening your web browser and navigating to `http://:8080`. Please note that the version number used in Step 3 might change over time. Visit the official GitBucket releases page (https://github.com/gitbucket/gitbucket/releases) to get the latest version.
