|---|
| | | 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.
|

|---|
| | | 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.
|
|---|

|
|---|
| | | 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.httpBindInterface* and *server.httpsBindInterface*<br/>
|
|---|
| | | **https** is strongly recommended because passwords are insecurely transmitted form your browser/git client using Basic authentication! |
|---|
| | | - *server.httpPort* and *server.httpsPort*
|
|---|
| | | - *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*.
|
|---|
| | | 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/>
|
|---|
| | | 4. Wait a minute or two while all dependencies are downloaded and your self-signed *localhost* certificate is generated. |
|---|
| | | 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. 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
|
|---|
| | | Gitblit GO automatically generates an ssl certificate for you that is bound to *localhost*.
|
|---|
| | |
|
|---|
| | | Remote Eclipse/EGit/JGit clients (<= 1.0.0) will fail to communicate using this certificate because JGit always verifies the hostname of the certificate, regardless of the *http.sslVerify=false* client-side setting.
|
|---|
| | | Remote Eclipse/EGit/JGit clients (<= 1.1.0) will fail to communicate using this certificate because JGit always verifies the hostname of the certificate, regardless of the *http.sslVerify=false* client-side setting.
|
|---|
| | |
|
|---|
| | | The EGit failure message is something like:
|
|---|
| | |
|
|---|
| | |
|---|
| | | 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.
|
|---|
| | |
|
|---|
| | |
|---|
| | |
|
|---|
| | | **NOTE:**<br/>
|
|---|
| | | If you change the name of the service from *gitblit* you must also change the name of `gitblitw.exe` to match the new service name otherwise the connection between the service and the utility is lost, at least to double-click execution.
|
|---|
| | |
|
|---|
| | | #### VM Considerations
|
|---|
| | | By default, the service installation script configures your Windows service to use your default JVM. This setup usually defaults to a client VM.<br/>
|
|---|
| | | If you have installed a JDK, you might consider using the `gitblitw.exe` utility to manually specify the *server* VM.
|
|---|
| | |
|
|---|
| | | 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.
|
|---|
| | |
|---|
| | | **Example**
|
|---|
| | |
|
|---|
| | | java -jar gitblit.jar --userService c:\myrealm.properties --storePassword something
|

| | | ## Upgrading Gitblit
|
|---|
| | | Generally, upgrading is easy.
|
|---|
| | |
|
|---|
| | | Since Gitblit does not use a database the only files you have to worry about are your configuration file (`gitblit.properties` or `web.xml`) and possibly your `users.properties` file.
|
|---|
| | |
|
|---|
| | | Any important changes to the setting keys or default values will always be mentioned in the [release log](releases.html).
|
|---|
| | |
|
|---|
| | | ### Upgrading Gitblit WAR
|
|---|
| | | 1. Backup your `web.xml` file
|
|---|
| | | 2. Delete currently deployed gitblit WAR
|
|---|
| | | 3. Deploy new WAR and overwrite the `web.xml` file with your backup
|
|---|
| | | 4. Review and optionally apply any new settings as indicated in the [release log](releases.html). |
|---|
| | | |
|---|
| | | ### Upgrading Gitblit GO
|
|---|
| | | |
|---|
| | | 1. Backup your `gitblit.properties` file
|
|---|
| | | 2. Backup your `users.properties` file *(if it is located in the Gitblit GO folder)*
|
|---|
| | | 3. Unzip Gitblit GO to a new folder
|
|---|
| | | 4. Overwrite the `gitblit.properties` file with your backup
|
|---|
| | | 5. Overwrite the `users.properties` file with your backup *(if it was located in the Gitblit GO folder)*
|
|---|
| | | 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.

| | | ## Gitblit Configuration
|

| | |
|
|---|
| | | ### Administering Repositories
|
|---|
| | |
|---|
| | | accessRestriction = clone
|
|---|
| | | isFrozen = false
|
|---|
| | | showReadme = false
|
|---|
| | | |
|---|
| | | federationStrategy = FEDERATE_THIS
|
|---|
| | | isFederated = false
|
|---|
| | | federationSets = |
|---|
| | |
|
|---|
| | | #### Repository Names
|
|---|
| | | 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.
|
|---|
| | |
|---|
| | | username,password,role1,role2,role3...
|
|---|
| | |
|
|---|
| | | #### Usernames

| | | Usernames must be unique and are case-insensitive.<br/>
|
|---|
| | | Usernames must be unique and are case-insensitive. |
|---|
| | | Whitespace is illegal.
|
|---|
| | |
|
|---|
| | | #### Passwords
|
|---|
| | | User passwords are CASE-SENSITIVE and may be *plain* or *md5* formatted (see `gitblit.properties` -> *realm.passwordStorage*).
|
|---|
| | |
|
|---|
| | | #### 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.
|
|---|
| | | There are two actual *roles* in Gitblit: *#admin*, which grants administrative powers to that user, and *#notfederated*, which prevents an account from being pulled by another Gitblit instance. 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.
|
|---|
| | |
|
|---|
| | | ## 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/>

| | | ## Client Setup and Configuration
|
|---|
| | | ### 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/>
|
|---|
| | | You must do this because Eclipse/EGit/JGit (<= 1.0.0) always verifies certificate hostnames, regardless of the *http.sslVerify=false* client-side setting. |
