+title: "Installing Sourcehut"
+date: 2020-08-27
+draft: true
+---
+
+A few months back, at the beginning of quarantine, I installed a self-hosted
+version of [SourceHut](https://sourcehut.org) for my git repos. In the end, I
+only actually set up and used the following services:
+
+- meta.sr.ht
+- git.sr.ht
+- todo.sr.ht
+- man.sr.ht
+- paste.sr.ht
+- dispatch.sr.ht
+
+I did not end up setting up lists.sr.ht or builds.sr.ht, either because I wasn't
+confident enough to do so (lists) or I didn't have the resources or knowledge
+(builds). Now, I figured that I have learned more and want to give it another
+crack. This post will go over the methods I use to install Sourcehut on my local
+machine and any pitfalls I encounter.
+
+The laptop that I used for this is a Thinkpad T430 running Arch Linux.
+
+## Packages
+Sourcehut upstream provides installable [packages](https://man.sr.ht/packages)
+for Alpine, Arch, and Debian. The Arch Linux mirror is at
+[https://mirror.sr.ht/archlinux/sr.ht](https://mirror.sr.ht/archlinux/sr.ht). To
+use the repository with Pacman, I had to add the following snippet to
+`/etc/pacman.conf`.
+
+```
+[sr.ht]
+Server = https://mirror.sr.ht/archlinux/sr.ht
+```
+
+I also had to import the signing key, which took a little while, because I had
+to configure Pacman to use a different keyserver since the MIT one wasn't
+responding. To receive the keys, I had to run the following commands  
+```
+# Get the key
+sudo pacman-key --recv-keys C0AAFC1676BD998617C94C42DC59670F1EB0A189 
+# Sign the key
+sudo pacman-key --lsign-key C0AAFC1676BD998617C94C42DC59670F1EB0A189
+``` 
+This made installing all the Sourcehut packages a lot easier than building from
+source, which I tried to do my first time around.
+
+## meta.sr.ht
+Since I had the package repository set up properly, all I had to do was `yay -S
+meta.sr.ht`, and both meta.sr.ht and the dependencies were downloaded. One
+dependency, `python-psycopg2` is marked as an optional dependency, but is
+required.
+
+### Configuration
+Each sr.ht service maintains a `config.example.ini` file in its' git repository.
+For meta.sr.ht, that file is
+[here](https://git.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/meta.sr.ht/tree/master/config.example.ini)
