Setting up Go Git Service on a Ubuntu Server 15.10.3 image on my Raspberry Pi 3

My quest in searching for a suitable self hosted Git Service didn’t stop at GitBucket. While GitBucket is easy to setup, running it on a Raspberry Pi 3 had not been ideal for me. If I had set it up on a more powerful computer / VM, I would have stuck with it.

To get a second opinion, I decided to give Go Git Service a try. This post documents my attempt in setting up Go Git Service on a Ubuntu 15.10.3 image on my Raspberry Pi 3. To make this post complete, the first eight steps are taken from previous posts.

Setting up GitBucket on Raspberry Pi 3 with an Ubuntu Server 15.10.3 image

With multiple Raspberry Pis around the house, it was time for me to setup a Git server to synchronise the source codes residing on my development laptop with those that are deployed on my Raspberry Pi servers.

As I am using GitHub at my workplace, I seek to emulate similar development operations at home. GitBucket seems to be an ideal candidate for my home Git server since it comes as a war file having API compatibility with GitHub.

Since I had created a LEMP server on my Raspberry Pi 3 with on Ubuntu Server 15.10.3, it makes sense for me to setup my GitBucket server on it.

This post describes how I setup GitBucket on my Raspberry Pi 3 with an Ubuntu Server 15.10.3 image. To make this post complete, the first seven steps are taken from previous posts.

A workflow for handling multiple concurrent changes on a single software system

To me, a change will mean that I am going to have more rice on my bowl. And in my nature of work, changes to the software systems under my care occur pretty often. In fact, changes had benefited me, as changes serve to increase my company’s competitiveness so that she can continue to buy me my daily bread.

There was this time when I was working with a software development house which my company had employed to build our new system. Nearing project completion, I volunteered to engineer a new workflow for my company to handle software development after we took over the system from the software development house. The main objective of the workflow is for coordinating change deliveries from multiple development teams on a single software system suite.

This post documents the workflow that I had engineered.
