For about 10 years I used a gitolite installation but I finally went for a gui instead in order to host repositories for non tech people. +git.adyxax.org is the server hosting my git repositories. It uses gitolite as backend (reachable over ssh) with cgit and nginx as the read only web frontend. + +From October 2020 to June 2022 I relied on a [gitea](https://gitea.io/) instance and for the decade before that i relied on a gitolite (without a web frontend). I initially switched to gitea in order to host repositories for non tech people, but I no longer have that need. Gitea is simple enough to host but it has way too many features and way too frequent (security) updates! I therefore chose to simplify things again. I went with cgit as a web frontend because I did not want to link to github in my blog articles. Github is only a mirror of some of my work and I do not want it to be more than that. ## Captain's log +- 2022-06-01 : Migrated to cgit on FreeBSD. - 2021-11-12 : Migrated to a podman setup on dalinar, and from PostgreSQL to SQLite - 2020-10-05 : Initial setup of gitea on yen.adyxax.org's OpenBSD +- circa 2010 : Initial setup of gitolite on legend.adyxax.org's Centos 5 ## Docs diff --git a/content/docs/adyxax.org/git/backups.md b/content/docs/adyxax.org/git/backups.md index 40ad40a..ddf9e79 100644 --- a/content/docs/adyxax.org/git/backups.md +++ b/content/docs/adyxax.org/git/backups.md @@ -5,8 +5,7 @@ description: Backups of git.adyxax.org ## Documentation -Backups are configured with borg on `dalinar.adyxax.org` to `yen.adyxax.org`. +Backups are run with borg and stored on `yen.adyxax.org`. -There are two jobs : -- a filesystem backup of `/srv/gitea-data` -- a `VACUUM INTO` backup job of gitea's SQLite database +There is only one job : +- a filesystem backup of `/srv/git` diff --git a/content/docs/adyxax.org/git/cgit.md b/content/docs/adyxax.org/git/cgit.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..75ffa5d --- /dev/null +++ b/content/docs/adyxax.org/git/cgit.md @@ -0,0 +1,94 @@ +--- +title: "cgit and nginx" +description: Installation notes of cgit +--- + +## Introduction + +This article details how I installed and configured cgit on FreeBSD to serve as the web frontend of my gitolite repositories. + +## Installation + +cgit can be bootstrapped with the following : +```yaml +pkg install cgit fcgiwrap +``` + +## Configuration + +Here is my `/usr/local/etc/cgitrc-adyxax` file: +```cfg +about-filter=/usr/local/lib/cgit/filters/about-formatting.sh +clone-url=https://$HTTP_HOST/$CGIT_REPO_URL +enable-commit-graph=1 +enable-follow-links=1 +enable-git-config=1 +enable-log-filecount=1 +enable-log-linecount=1 +enable-subject-links=1 +mimetype.gif=image/gif +mimetype.html=text/html +mimetype.jpg=image/jpeg +mimetype.jpeg=image/jpeg +mimetype.pdf=application/pdf +mimetype.png=image/png +mimetype.svg=image/svg+xml +noplainemail=1 +readme=:README.md +remove-suffix=1 +snapshots=tar.gz tar.bz2 zip +root-desc=All public git repositories by Adyxax +#root-readme=/var/www/htdocs/about.html +root-title=Adyxax's git repositories +virtual-root=/ +scan-path=/home/git/repositories +``` + +## fcgiwrap + +fcgiwrap is a necessary interface for nginx to call cgit.
