| | | 3. The repository is clone-restricted and your password changed.
|
|---|
| | | 4. A regression in Gitblit. :(

| | | ### Why can't I access Gitblit from another machine?
|
|---|
| | | ### Why can't I access Gitblit-Go from another machine?
|
|---|
| | | Please check *server.httpBindInterface* and *server.httpsBindInterface* in `gitblit.properties`.

| | | ### How do I run Gitblit on port 80 or 443 in Linux?
|
|---|
| | | ### How do I run Gitblit-Go on port 80 or 443 in Linux?
|
|---|
| | | Linux requires root permissions to serve on ports < 1024.<br/>
|
|---|
| | | Run the server as *root* (security concern) or change the ports you are serving to 8080 (http) and/or 8443 (https).
|
|---|
| | |
|
|---|
| | |
|---|
| | | No. Gitblit is based on [JGit][jgit] which is a pure Java implementation of the [Git version control system][git].<br/>
|
|---|
| | | Everything you need for Gitblit is either in the zip distribution file or automatically downloaded on execution.
|
|---|
| | |
|
|---|
| | | ### What about periodic Git garbage collection (git-gc)?
|
|---|
| | | Good question. I'm not sure.
|
|---|
| | |
|
|---|
| | | Git repositories grow and grow and periodically need to be repacked every once in a while. Git calls this process [garbage collection](http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-gc.html) (which is not to be confused with [garbage collection](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garbage_collection_(computer_science)).)
|
|---|
| | |
|
|---|
| | | [JGit's][jgit] documentation is sparse and its unclear whether or not JGit performs this function.
|
|---|
| | |
|
|---|
| | | ### Can I run Gitblit in conjunction with my existing Git tooling?
|
|---|
| | | Yes. You can configure Gitblit to only be a repository viewer.
|
|---|
| | | Yes.
|
|---|
| | |
|
|---|
| | | ### Do I need a JDK or can I use a JRE?
|
|---|
| | | Gitblit will run just fine with a JRE. Gitblit can optionally use `keytool` from the JDK to generate self-signed certificates, but normally Gitblit uses [BouncyCastle][bouncycastle] for that need.
|
|---|
| | |
|
|---|
| | | ### I want to deploy Gitblit into my own servlet container. Where is the WAR?
|
|---|
| | | At this time there is no WAR build available.
|
|---|
| | |
|
|---|
| | | ### Does Gitblit use a database to store its data?
|
|---|
| | | No. Gitblit stores its repository configuration information within the `.git/config` file and its user information in `users.properties` or whatever filename is configured in `gitblit.properties`.
|
|---|
| | |
|---|
| | |
|
|---|
| | | Gitblit's simple authentication and authorization mechanism can be used to facilitate one or more of the [workflows outlined here](http://progit.org/book/ch5-1.html). Should you require more fine-grained access controls you might consider using [gitolite](https://github.com/sitaramc/gitolite).
|
|---|
| | |
|
|---|
| | | ### Can I authenticate users against XYZ?
|
|---|
| | | Yes. The login service is pluggable. You may write your own authentication module by implementing the *ILoginService* interface. Set the fully qualified classname as the *realm.realmFile* property.
|
|---|
| | |
|
|---|
| | | ### Why doesn't Gitblit support SSH?
|
|---|
| | | Gitblit could integrate [Apache Mina][mina] to provide SSH access. However, doing so violates Gitblit's first design principle: [KISS](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KISS_principle).<br/>
|
|---|
| | | SSH support requires creating, exchanging, and managing SSH keys (arguably not more complicated than managing users). While this is possible, JGit's SmartHTTP implementation is a simpler and universal transport mechanism.
