| | | ## Gitblit WAR Setup
|
| | |
|
| | | 1. Download [Gitblit WAR %VERSION%](http://code.google.com/p/gitblit/downloads/detail?name=%WAR%) to the webapps folder of your servlet container.<br/>
|
| | | 1. Download [Gitblit WAR %VERSION%](http://code.google.com/p/gitblit/downloads/detail?name=%WAR%) to the webapps folder of your servlet container. |
| | | 2. You may have to manually extract the WAR (zip file) to a folder within your webapps folder.
|
| | | 3. Copy the `WEB-INF/users.properties` file to a location outside the webapps folder that is accessible by your servlet container.
|
| | | 4. The Gitblit webapp is configured through its `web.xml` file.<br/>
|
| | | 4. The Gitblit webapp is configured through its `web.xml` file. |
| | | 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/>
|
| | | 7. Enter the default administrator credentials: **admin / admin** and click the *Login* button |
| | | **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/>
|
| | | 1. Download and unzip [Gitblit GO %VERSION%](http://code.google.com/p/gitblit/downloads/detail?name=%GO%). |
| | | *Its best to eliminate spaces in the path name.*
|
| | | 2. The server itself is configured through a simple text file.<br/>
|
| | | 2. The server itself is configured through a simple text file. |
| | | Open `gitblit.properties` in your favorite text editor and make sure to review and set:
|
| | | - *git.repositoryFolder* (path may be relative or absolute)
|
| | | - *server.tempFolder* (path may be relative or absolute)
|
| | | - *server.httpPort* and *server.httpsPort*
|
| | | - *server.httpBindInterface* and *server.httpsBindInterface*<br/>
|
| | | - *server.httpBindInterface* and *server.httpsBindInterface* |
| | | **https** is strongly recommended because passwords are insecurely transmitted form your browser/git client using Basic authentication!
|
| | | 3. Execute `gitblit.cmd` or `java -jar gitblit.jar` from a command-line
|
| | | 4. Wait a minute or two while all dependencies are downloaded and your self-signed *localhost* certificate is generated.<br/>Please see the section titled **Creating your own Self-Signed Certificate** to generate a certificate for *your hostname*.

| | | Please see the section titled **Creating your own Self-Signed Certificate** to generate a certificate for *your hostname*.
|
| | | 5. Open your browser to <http://localhost:8080> or <https://localhost:8443> depending on your chosen configuration.
|
| | | 6. Click the *Login* link and enter the default administrator credentials: **admin / admin**<br/>
|
| | | 6. Enter the default administrator credentials: **admin / admin** and click the *Login* button |
| | | **NOTE:** Make sure to change the administrator username and/or password!!
|
| | |
|
| | | ### Creating your own Self-Signed Certificate
|
| | |
| | | 2. Set *your hostname* into the *HOSTNAME* variable.
|
| | | 3. Execute the script.<br/>This will generate a new certificate and keystore for *your hostname* protected by *server.storePassword*.
|
| | |
|
| | | **NOTE:**<br/>If you use `makekeystore_jdk.cmd`, the certificate password AND the keystore password must match and must be set as *server.storePassword* or specified with the *storePassword* command-line parameter!
|
| | | **NOTE:** |
| | | If you use `makekeystore_jdk.cmd`, the certificate password AND the keystore password must match and must be set as *server.storePassword* or specified with the *storePassword* command-line parameter!
|
| | |
|
| | | Additionally, if you want to change the value of *server.storePassword* (recommended) you will have to generate a new certificate afterwards.
|
| | |
|
| | |
| | | Gitblit uses [Apache Commons Daemon](http://commons.apache.org/daemon) to install and configure its Windows service.
|
| | |
|
| | | 1. Review the contents of the `installService.cmd`
|
| | | 2. Set the *ARCH* value as appropriate for your installed Java Virtual Machine.<br/>
|
| | | 2. Set the *ARCH* value as appropriate for your installed Java Virtual Machine.
|
| | | 3. Add any necessary *--StartParams* as enumerated below in **Command-Line Parameters**.
|
| | | 4. Execute the script.
|
| | |
|
| | |
| | | 1. Execute `gitblitw.exe`
|
| | | 2. On the *Java* tab uncheck *Use default*.
|
| | | 3. Manually navigate your filesystem and specify the server VM with the `...` button<br/><pre>
|
| | | Java Virtual Machine:
|
| | | C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\server\jvm.dll</pre>

|
| | |
|
| | | #### Command-Line Parameters
|
| | | Command-Line parameters override the values in `gitblit.properties` at runtime.
|
| | |
| | | 6. Review and optionally apply any new settings as indicated in the [release log](releases.html).
|
| | |
|
| | | #### Upgrading Windows Service
|
| | | You may need to delete your old service definition and install a new one depending on what has changed in the release. |

|
| | | Repository names must be unique and are CASE-SENSITIVE ON CASE-SENSITIVE FILESYSTEMS. The name must be composed of letters, digits, or `/ _ - .`<br/>
|
| | | Whitespace is illegal.
|

| | | ## Authentication and Authorization Customization
|
| | | Instead of maintaining a `users.properties` file, you may want to integrate Gitblit into an existing environment.
|
| | |
|
| | | You may use your own custom *com.gitblit.IUserService* implementation by specifying its fully qualified classname in the *realm.userService* setting.<br/>
|
| | | You may use your own custom *com.gitblit.IUserService* implementation by specifying its fully qualified classname in the *realm.userService* setting.
|
| | |
|
| | | Your user service class must be on Gitblit's classpath and must have a public default constructor.
|
| | |
|
| | |
| | | ### Https with Self-Signed Certificates
|
| | | You must tell Git/JGit not to verify the self-signed certificate in order to perform any remote Git operations.
|
| | |
|
| | | **NOTE:**<br/>
|
| | | The default self-signed certificate generated by Gitlbit GO is bound to *localhost*.<br/>
|
| | | If you are using Eclipse/EGit/JGit clients, you will have to generate your own certificate that specifies the exact hostname used in your clone/push url.<br/>
|
| | | **NOTE:** |
| | | The default self-signed certificate generated by Gitlbit GO is bound to *localhost*. |
| | | If you are using Eclipse/EGit/JGit clients, you will have to generate your own certificate that specifies the exact hostname used in your clone/push url. |
| | | You must do this because Eclipse/EGit/JGit (<= 1.1.0) always verifies certificate hostnames, regardless of the *http.sslVerify=false* client-side setting.
