== About ==
. Website: http://kernel.embedromix.ro/us/
. Author: Catalin(ux) M. BOIE
. Description: Light and fast Git hosting solution
. License: Affero GPLv3+
. Language: PHP (plans to rewrite in C in the near future)
. Database: PostgreSQL
. Project start date: 2011-03-04
== Features ==
. Free software
. No Java
. No Javascript
. Upgrades with the standard tools of the distributions
. Very little dependencies, all packaged in main-stream distributions
. SELinux friendly
. Very small (RPM is around 300KiB)
. IPv6 ready
. Internationalization ready
== Install ==
. Notes:
- It is recommended to NOT install rocketgit on a multiuser machine.
There are some things that should be fixed first. We are working on it.
. Prepare SELinux
# setsebool -P \
httpd_can_network_connect_db=on \
httpd_can_network_connect=on \
httpd_can_sendmail=on
. Edit /etc/rocketgit/config.php
. Edit /etc/httpd/conf.d/rocketgit.conf
. PHP
Adjust php.ini to:
- allow enough RAM and execution time
- fix timezone
You may want to activate an op cache to speed up the PHP scripts:
yum install php-opcache
Also, we recommend to activate opcache also for cli:
change opcache.enable_cli to 1 in /etc/php.d/10-opcache.ini or
/etc/php-zts.d/10-opcache.ini.
. Activate web server
# systemctl enable httpd.service
# systemctl restart httpd.service
. Activate sshd (for ssh:// access)
# systemctl enable sshd.service
# systemctl start sshd.service
. Activate xinetd (for git:// access)
# systemctl enable xinetd.service
# systemctl start xinetd.service
. Configure PostgreSQL server
# systemctl enable postgresql.service
# postgresql-setup initdb (TAKE CARE! YOU MAY DESTROY ALL YOUR DATA!)
# systemctl start postgresql.service
. Create a PostgreSQL user and database
# su - postgres
$ createuser -d -R -S rocketgit
$ createdb -O rocketgit rocketgit
. Allow access to PostgreSQL and restart:
Add the following lines, before wildcard matches, in
/var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_hba.conf:
local rocketgit rocketgit trust
host rocketgit rocketgit 127.0.0.1/32 trust
host rocketgit rocketgit ::1/128 trust
systemctl restart postgresql.service
Notes:
- Check also the config file (/etc/rocketgit/config.php) and set
correctly the rg_sql string.
- If the web server and the db are not on the same host, you need to
replace 127.0.0.1 and ::1 with your "safe network". You may want to use
md5 for authentication. Also, you may want to change 'listen_addresses'
to '*'. You may also want to activate SSL. Check PostgreSQL manual.
. Mail
To be able to generate e-mails as other user, you have to:
For sendmail:
- Enable daemon: systemctl enable sendmail.service
- Edit /etc/mail/trusted-users and add 'rocketgit' and 'apache'.
- Restart daemon: 'systemctl restart sendmail.service' (Fedora)
. Edit firewall to permit ssh, git, http and https ports
In /etc/sysconfig/iptables (IPv4) and ip6tables (IPv6), add something
like this:
-A INPUT -m tcp -p tcp --dport ssh -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -m tcp -p tcp --dport git -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -m tcp -p tcp --dport http -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -m tcp -p tcp --dport https -j ACCEPT
. Point your browser to the newly created server and you will be asked to
create the admin account.
. You may want to install qrencode to be able to be able to see the two factor
authentication keys as QR pictures.
