| | | ## Gitblit-Go Setup and Configuration
|
| | | ## Gitblit WAR Setup
|
| | |
|
| | | 1. Download and unzip [Gitblit-Go %VERSION%](http://gitblit.com/%GO%).<br/>
|
| | | *Its best to eliminate spaces in the path name as that can cause troubleshooting headaches.* |
| | | 1. Download [Gitblit WAR %VERSION%](http://code.google.com/p/gitblit/downloads/detail?name=%WAR%) to the webapps folder of your servlet container.<br/>
|
| | | 2. You may have to manually extract the WAR (zip file) to a folder within your webapps folder. Manual extraction depends on if your servlet container is configured to automatically deploy WAR files.
|
| | | 3. Copy the `WEB-INF/users.properties` file to a location outside the webapps folder but accessible by your servlet container. |
| | | 4. The Gitblit webapp is configured through its `web.xml` file.<br/>
|
| | | Open `web.xml` in your favorite text editor and make sure to review and set:
|
| | | - <context-parameter> *git.repositoryFolder* (set the full path to your repositories folder)
|
| | | - <context-parameter> *realm.userService* (set the full path to `users.properties`)
|
| | | 5. You may have to restart your servlet container. |
| | | 6. Open your browser to <http://localhost/gitblit> or whatever the url should be.
|
| | | 7. Click the *Login* link and enter the default administrator credentials: **admin / admin**<br/>
|
| | | **NOTE:** Make sure to change the administrator username and/or password!! |
| | |
|
| | | ## Gitblit GO Setup
|
| | |
|
| | | 1. Download and unzip [Gitblit GO %VERSION%](http://code.google.com/p/gitblit/downloads/detail?name=%GO%).<br/>
|
| | | *Its best to eliminate spaces in the path name.* |
| | | 2. The server itself is configured through a simple text file.<br/>
|
| | | Open `gitblit.properties` in your favorite text editor and make sure to review and set:
|
| | | - *git.repositoryFolder*
|
| | | - *server.tempFolder*
|
| | | - *git.repositoryFolder* (path my be relative or absolute)
|
| | | - *server.tempFolder* (path my be relative or absolute)
|
| | | - *server.httpBindInterface* and *server.httpsBindInterface*<br/>
|
| | | **NOTE:** Consider using **https** exclusively because passwords for authentication are transmitted as clear text!
|
| | | - *server.storePassword*<br/>
|
| | |
| | | 5. Open your browser to <http://localhost> or <https://localhost> depending on your chosen configuration.
|
| | | 6. Click the *Login* link and enter the default administrator credentials: **admin / admin**<br/>
|
| | | **NOTE:** Make sure to change the administrator username and/or password!!
|
| | |
|
| | | ### Creating your own Self-Signed Certificate
|
| | | Gitblit GO automatically generates an ssl certificate for you that contains generic, non-personalized information.
|
| | |
|
| | | Should you want to include more personal or server-specific information in your self-signed certificate you will have to generate a new one.
|
| | | |
| | | Review the contents of the `makekeystore.cmd` or `makekeystore_jdk.cmd` script and execute it.<br/>
|
| | | **NOTE:** If you manually generate an ssl certificate, the certificate password AND the keystore password must match!
|
| | |
|
| | | ### Running as a Windows Service
|
| | | Review the contents of the `installService.cmd` or `installService64.cmd`, as appropriate for your installed Java Virtual Machine.<br/>
|
| | | Set the *JVM* variable in the script to the location of your Java Virtual Machine, add any necessary start parameters, and execute the script.
|
| | |
|
| | | #### Command-Line Parameters
|
| | | Command-Line parameters override the values in `gitblit.properties` at runtime.
|
| | |
|
| | | --repositoriesFolder Git Repositories Folder
|
| | | --userService Authentication and Authorization Service (filename or fully qualified classname)
|
| | | --useNio Use NIO Connector else use Socket Connector.
|
| | | --httpPort HTTP port for to serve. (port <= 0 will disable this connector)
|
| | | --httpsPort HTTPS port to serve. (port <= 0 will disable this connector)
|
| | | --storePassword Password for SSL (https) keystore.
|
| | | --shutdownPort Port for Shutdown Monitor to listen on. (port <= 0 will disable this monitor)
|
| | | --tempFolder Folder for server to extract built-in webapp
|
| | | |
| | | **Example**
|
| | |
|
| | | java -jar gitblit.jar --userService c:\myrealm.properties --storePassword something
|
| | | |
| | | ## Gitblit Configuration
|
| | |
|
| | | ### Administering Repositories
|
| | | Repositories can be created, edited, renamed, and deleted through the web UI. They may also be created, edited, and deleted from the command-line using real [Git](http://git-scm.com) or your favorite file manager and text editor.
|
| | |
| | |
|
| | | Repositories can be grouped within subfolders. e.g. *libraries/mycoollib.git* and *libraries/myotherlib.git*
|
| | |
|
| | | All created repositories are *bare* and will automatically have *.git* appended to the name at creation time, if not already specified. |
| | | All repositories created with Gitblit are *bare* and will automatically have *.git* appended to the name at creation time, if not already specified. |
| | |
|
| | | #### Repository Owner
|
| | | The *Repository Owner* has the special permission of being able to edit a repository through the web UI. The Repository Owner is not permitted to rename the repository, delete the repository, or reassign ownership to another user.
|
| | |
| | | #### User Roles
|
| | | There is only one actual *role* in Gitblit and that is *#admin* which grants administrative powers to that user. Administrators automatically have access to all repositories. All other *roles* are repository names. If a repository is access-restricted, the user must have the repository's name within his/her roles to bypass the access restriction. This is how users are granted access to a restricted repository.
|
| | |
|
| | | ### Creating your own Self-Signed Certificate
|
| | | ## Authentication and Authorization Customization
|
| | | Instead of maintaining a `users.properties` file, you may want to integrate Gitblit into an existing environment.
|
| | |
|
| | | Review the contents of the `makekeystore.cmd` or `makekeystore_jdk.cmd` script and execute it.<br/>
|
| | | **NOTE:** If you manually generate an ssl certificate, the certificate password AND the keystore password must match!
|
| | | You may use your own custom *com.gitblit.IUserService* implementation by specifying its fully qualified classname in the *realm.userService* setting.<br/>
|
| | |
|
| | | ### Running as a Service
|
| | | Review the contents of the `installService.cmd` or `installService64.cmd`, as appropriate for your installed Java Virtual Machine.<br/>
|
| | | Set the *JVM* variable in the script to the location of your Java Virtual Machine, add any necessary start parameters, and execute the script.
|
| | | Your user service class must be on Gitblit's classpath and must have a public default constructor. |
| | |
|
| | | #### Command-Line Parameters
|
| | | --tempFolder Server temp folder
|
| | | --repositoriesFolder Git Repositories Folder
|
| | | --realmFile Users Realm Hash File
|
| | | --useNio Use NIO Connector else use Socket Connector.
|
| | | --httpPort HTTP port for to serve. (port <= 0 will disable this connector)
|
| | | --httpsPort HTTPS port to serve. (port <= 0 will disable this connector)
|
| | | --storePassword Password for SSL (https) keystore.
|
| | | --shutdownPort Port for Shutdown Monitor to listen on. (port <= 0 will disable this monitor)
|
| | | |
| | | **Example**
|
| | |
|
| | | java -jar gitblit.jar --realmFile c:\myrealm.txt --storePassword something
|
| | | |
| | | ## Client Setup and Configuration
|
| | | ### Https with Self-Signed Certificates
|
| | | You must tell Git not to verify the self-signed certificate in order to perform any remote Git operations.
