Setup

1. Install https://www.codemadness.org/git/stagit/ on your Server

2. Use this template:

git clone https://src.jayvii.de/pub/stagit-scripts.git /var/www/git.myserver.com

3. Setup the HTML Root:

mkdir -p /var/www/git.myserver.com/{pub,priv}

4. Setup git-user:

useradd -r -m -U -d /var/www/git.myserver.com -s /bin/sh -G www-data git

Private Repositories

Private repositories reside within /prv, while your public repositories are in /pub. Access to the private repositories is restricted via HTTP Basic Authentication.

A .htaccess file is provided within the /prv directory, however you also need to set up a user/password for the web-access, e.g. here for the user “username”:

sudo htpasswd -c /etc/apache2/.htpassword username 

Optional Tweaks

Set your stagit server’s URL via the “url” file:

echo "https://src.example.com" > /var/www/src.example.com/url

You may also setup SSH-credentials for the user or SSH-Auth keys.

You most likely want to setup a webserver (e.g. Apache2) with “/var/www/ git.myserver.com” (home of user “git”) as its root-dir.

As long as user “git” is in the group “www-data”, file permissions should generally be no problem. For good measure, you may however still set up cron-job that enforces file permissions every now and then. In crontab, use following entries (assuming your git-folder is located in “/var/www/src.example.com”):

0 0 * * * chown git:www-data -R /var/www/src.example.com
0 0 * * * chmod 770 -R /var/www/src.example.com

Examples

You’ll find a post-update hook example in the “examples/hooks/” directory.

examples/
|
'- hooks/
|- post-update.sample1    Automatic packaging and deployment
'- post-update.sample2    REUSE linting on push

Further notes

New repositories can be created via the webform in “/create_repo/index.html” or via an according GET request to that PHP-script:

curl https://src.example.com/create_repo/?name=test_repo&description=this%20is%20just%20a%20test%20repository&owner=me&type=pub

The “/create_repo/” endpoint is restricted to authenticated users via htaccess (just like the “/priv/” repositories). A GET request therefore has to supply the authentication credentials accordingly.
