Gave up on installing this...

[spicysomtam]

Installed php8.1 on ubuntu 20.04.
Wired my roundcube to use php7.4 via fpm in a Directory block on apache2 so the 2 php versions can coexist.
a2enmod set to use php8.1 (was set to php7.4).
Just getting a page with no graphics rendered.

Spun up the docker-compose development env, but even that has an issue, so gave up on that.
Think this really needs some documentation and a bit of love as the docs look like they are from an earlier version.
I am not a php expert; linux, devops and cloud is more my thing.
Would appreciate any help to get this working.
Thanks in advance.

Did you use the development version or the latest release? Development version is not suited for end-users: https://github.com/klaussilveira/gitlist#installation

You should not use the containers for production use. They exist for development purposes only.

I used your latest release. I gave up and instead installed Gitea, which worked out well, although a learning curve on Gitea.
Your troubleshooting notes are for a much older release? Anyhow no worries; Gitea has a much bigger community.

Got similar issue, and I need to update my apache2 configuration, details below.

For setting up gitlist 1.0.2, I followed instructions here, and for the gitlist.conf, I used to have Alias /gitlist /var/www/gitlist/.

With gitlist 2.0.0, I need to update that line to Alias /gitlist /var/www/gitlist/public/ to see the "page with no graphics rendered"; and I found in my apache2 access.log lines similar to "GET /assets/ace/js/main.js HTTP/1.1" 404 .... To resolve it, I need to add Alias /assets /var/www/gitlist/public/assets to the gitlist.conf file.

Now I am able to see some of my git repo, yet I am hitting this bug. Also, the pages are extremely slow to navigate compared to gitlist 1.0.2 setup.

I guess I would just continue using gitlist 1.0.2 for now.
