git + gitolite + git-daemon + gitweb setup on Ubuntu 10.10
- This works on Ubuntu Server 11.04 as well.
-
Fixed the section at the bottom about editing /etc/sv/git-daemon/run because I forgot to include the bits about changing the base-path and directory. Sorry bout that…
-
Added bits about setting gitweb owner and description
-
Added url rewrite bits
-
Added optional bits for /etc/gitweb.conf
-
Added gitweb theme
So here’s the skinny on getting git, gitolite, git-daemon, and gitweb set up on your Ubuntu 10.10 server using the packages from apt.
Make sure to read this entirely and follow every step!
git setup
Install git and doc:
sudo apt-get install git-core git-doc
gitweb setup
Install gitweb:
sudo apt-get install highlight gitweb
# update /etc/gitweb.conf to customize
gitolite setup
Install gitolite:
sudo apt-get install gitolite
(optional setup so that gitolite doesn’t complain about not having user and email setup)
sudo su gitolite
git config --global user.name "gitolite"
git config --global user.email gitolite@your.domain
exit
Append www-data to gitolite group so gitweb can access the repos:
sudo usermod -a -G gitolite www-data
Reboot (or something else to make sure that /etc/group is read)
Change the gitweb configuration to use the gitolite repo paths:
sudo emacs /etc/gitweb.conf
# change $projectroot to /var/lib/gitolite/repositories
# change $projects_list to /var/lib/gitolite/projects.list
Copy over your pubkey from your local machine to the git server:
# FROM YOUR LOCAL MACHINE
scp ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub git.server:/tmp/username.pub
Initialize gitolite:
# ON THE GIT SERVER
chmod 666 /tmp/username.pub
sudo -H -u gitolite gl-setup /tmp/username.pub
Change permissions on existing repos to allow gitweb and git-daemon export:
sudo chmod g+r /var/lib/gitolite/projects.list
sudo chmod -R g+rx /var/lib/gitolite/repositories
Change gitolite config so that new repos are given permissions to enable gitweb and git-daemon export:
sudo emacs /var/lib/gitolite/.gitolite.rc
# change to $REPO_UMASK = 0027; # gets you 'rwxr-x---'
git-daemon setup
sudo apt-get install git-daemon-run
Now we need to change the sv config for git-daemon so that it runs as the gitdaemon user and gitolite group (since gitolite group has read access to the repositories)
sudo emacs /etc/sv/git-daemon/run
Change:
#!/bin/sh
exec 2>&1
echo 'git-daemon starting.'
exec chpst -ugitdaemon \
"$(git --exec-path)"/git-daemon --verbose --base-path=/var/cache /var/cache/git
to:
IMPORTANT: notice the change from -ugitdaemon to -ugitdaemon:gitolite
#!/bin/sh
exec 2>&1
echo 'git-daemon starting.'
exec chpst -ugitdaemon:gitolite \
"$(git --exec-path)"/git-daemon --verbose --base-path=/var/lib/gitolite/repositories /var/lib/gitolite/repositories
Reboot the machine:
To test if everything is working, from your local machine, clone the gitolite-admin.git repository that’s created automatically by the gitolite setup script and enable gitweb and git-daemon export:
# FROM YOUR LOCAL MACHINE
git clone gitolite@git.server:gitolite-admin.git
cd gitolite-admin
emacs conf/gitolite.conf
Change the testing repo to:
repo testing
RW+ = @all
R = gitweb
R = daemon
which gives gitweb and git-daemon read access to testing.git.
If you want to set and owner and description for the gitweb page to use, change it to:
repo testing
RW+ = @all
R = daemon
testing "Owner" = "Test repo"
Setting the repo owner and description automatically gives read access to gitweb so you don’t have to specify it explicitly.
Save the file, commit it, and then push to the server:
git commit -a -m "Enable gitweb and git-daemon export for testing."
git push
Now you should be able to see the testing repository in gitweb at:
and you should be able to clone it via the git protocol:
git clone git://git.server/testing.git
To enable pretty gitweb urls ( instead of as explained in ):
Open /etc/apache2/conf.d/gitweb:
sudo emacs /etc/apache2/conf.d/gitweb
and comment out everything.
Enable rewrites in apache:
sudo a2enmod rewrite
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
Add a new ‘git’ virtual host:
sudo emacs /etc/apache2/sites-available/git
and add the following:
ServerName git.server
ServerAdmin webmaster@git.server
DocumentRoot /usr/share/gitweb
Options FollowSymLinks ExecCGI
AddHandler cgi-script cgi
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^.* /gitweb.cgi/$0 [L,PT]
brought to you by .
Enable the new ‘git’ virtual host:
sudo a2ensite git
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 reload
Enable pretty urls in /etc/gitweb.conf:
sudo emacs /etc/gitweb.conf
and add the following:
# Enable PATH_INFO so the server can produce URLs of the
# form:
# This allows for pretty URLs *within* the Git repository, where
# my Apache rewrite rules are not active.
$feature{'pathinfo'}{'default'} = [1];
To enable other optional features of gitweb, add the following:
$projects_list_description_width = 100;
# Enable blame, pickaxe search, snapshop, search, and grep
# support, but still allow individual projects to turn them off.
# These are features that users can use to interact with your Git trees. They
# consume some CPU whenever a user uses them, so you can turn them off if you
# need to. Note that the 'override' option means that you can override the
# setting on a per-repository basis.
$feature{'blame'}{'default'} = [1];
$feature{'blame'}{'override'} = 1;
$feature{'pickaxe'}{'default'} = [1];
$feature{'pickaxe'}{'override'} = 1;
$feature{'snapshot'}{'default'} = [1];
$feature{'snapshot'}{'override'} = 1;
$feature{'search'}{'default'} = [1];
$feature{'grep'}{'default'} = [1];
$feature{'grep'}{'override'} = 1;
$feature{'show-sizes'}{'default'} = [1];
$feature{'show-sizes'}{'override'} = 1;
$feature{'avatar'}{'default'} = ['gravatar'];
$feature{'avatar'}{'override'} = 1;
$feature{'highlight'}{'default'} = [1];
$feature{'highlight'}{'override'} = 1;
To add a customized theme (the one I use at ):
sudo mv /usr/share/gitweb/static/gitweb.js /usr/share/gitweb/static/gitweb.js.orig
sudo mv /usr/share/gitweb/static/gitweb.css /usr/share/gitweb/static/gitweb.css.orig
cd /tmp
git clone git://github.com/kogakure/gitweb-theme.git
cd gitweb-theme
sudo cp gitweb.css gitweb.js /usr/share/gitweb/static/
