Rolling Out New RhodeCode Installer Using Docker

Published on December 01, 2023, by Kate Kovbii


Hi All,

We are happy to announce that we're rolling out a new installer for RhodeCode called rcstack. This is our new docker stack, which would also allow an easier path to migration to Python3.

What's important is that in the near future, rcstack will replace the currently used rccontrol installer. So be sure to try it out and give us the feedback.

Here's a quick way to download and run our new rcstack installer:
mkdir docker-rhodecode && cd docker-rhodecode curl -L -s -o rcstack https://dls.rhodecode.com/get-rcstack && chmod +x rcstack
./rcstack get-started

For those who want to make the transition from the old installer to the rcstack, we have a comprehensive guide.
There, you'll find step-by-step instructions on deciding components, bootstrapping the environment, copying old configurations, launching the services stack, making a db dump, restoring the db, moving data into Docker storage, ensuring old services are stopped, starting the complete stack, fixing database paths, and dealing with SSL certificates.

Feel free to check everything out and join the discussion on our community portal.

Yours performantly,
The RhodeCode team
