DESCRIPTION |
|
----------- |
|
A really simple TCP git daemon that normally listens on port "DEFAULT_GIT_PORT" |
|
aka 9418. It waits for a connection asking for a service, and will serve |
|
that service if it is enabled. |
|
|
|
It verifies that the directory has the magic file "git-daemon-export-ok", and |
|
it will refuse to export any git directory that hasn't explicitly been marked |
|
for export this way (unless the '--export-all' parameter is specified). If you |
|
pass some directory paths as 'git-daemon' arguments, you can further restrict |
|
the offers to a whitelist comprising of those. |
|
|
|
By default, only `upload-pack` service is enabled, which serves |
|
`git-fetch-pack` and `git-peek-remote` clients that are invoked |
|
from `git-fetch`, `git-ls-remote`, and `git-clone`. |
|
|
|
This is ideally suited for read-only updates, i.e., pulling from |
|
git repositories. |
|
|
|
OPTIONS |
|
------- |
|
--strict-paths:: |
|
Match paths exactly (i.e. don't allow "/foo/repo" when the real path is |
|
"/foo/repo.git" or "/foo/repo/.git") and don't do user-relative paths. |
|
git-daemon will refuse to start when this option is enabled and no |
|
whitelist is specified. |
|
|
|
--base-path:: |
|
Remap all the path requests as relative to the given path. |
|
This is sort of "GIT root" - if you run git-daemon with |
|
'--base-path=/srv/git' on example.com, then if you later try to pull |
|
'git://example.com/hello.git', `git-daemon` will interpret the path |
|
as '/srv/git/hello.git'. |
|
|
|
--interpolated-path=pathtemplate:: |
|
To support virtual hosting, an interpolated path template can be |
|
used to dynamically construct alternate paths. The template |
|
supports %H for the target hostname as supplied by the client, |
|
and %D for the absolute path of the named repository. |
|
|
|
--export-all:: |
|
Allow pulling from all directories that look like GIT repositories |
|
(have the 'objects' and 'refs' subdirectories), even if they |
|
do not have the 'git-daemon-export-ok' file. |
|
|
|
--inetd:: |
|
Have the server run as an inetd service. Implies --syslog. |
|
|
|
--port:: |
|
Listen on an alternative port. |
|
|
|
--init-timeout:: |
|
Timeout between the moment the connection is established and the |
|
client request is received (typically a rather low value, since |
|
that should be basically immediate). |
|
|
|
--timeout:: |
|
Timeout for specific client sub-requests. This includes the time |
|
it takes for the server to process the sub-request and time spent |
|
waiting for next client's request. |
|
|
|
--syslog:: |
|
Log to syslog instead of stderr. Note that this option does not imply |
|
--verbose, thus by default only error conditions will be logged. |
|
|
|
--user-path, --user-path=path:: |
|
Allow ~user notation to be used in requests. When |
|
specified with no parameter, requests to |
|
git://host/~alice/foo is taken as a request to access |
|
'foo' repository in the home directory of user `alice`. |
|
If `--user-path=path` is specified, the same request is |
|
taken as a request to access `path/foo` repository in |
|
the home directory of user `alice`. |
|
|
|
--verbose:: |
|
Log details about the incoming connections and requested files. |
|
|
|
--reuseaddr:: |
|
Use SO_REUSEADDR when binding the listening socket. |
|
This allows the server to restart without waiting for |
|
old connections to time out. |
|
|
|
--detach:: |
|
Detach from the shell. Implies --syslog. |
|
|
|
--pid-file=file:: |
|
Save the process id in 'file'. |
|
|
|
--user=user, --group=group:: |
|
Change daemon's uid and gid before entering the service loop. |
|
When only `--user` is given without `--group`, the |
|
primary group ID for the user is used. The values of |
|
the option are given to `getpwnam(3)` and `getgrnam(3)` |
|
and numeric IDs are not supported. |
|
+ |
|
Giving these options is an error when used with `--inetd`; use |
|
the facility of inet daemon to achieve the same before spawning |
|
`git-daemon` if needed. |
|
|
|
--enable-service, --disable-service:: |
|
Enable/disable the service site-wide per default. Note |
|
that a service disabled site-wide can still be enabled |
|
per repository if it is marked overridable and the |
|
repository enables the service with an configuration |
|
item. |
|
|
|
--allow-override, --forbid-override:: |
|
Allow/forbid overriding the site-wide default with per |
|
repository configuration. By default, all the services |
|
are overridable. |
|
|
|
<directory>:: |
|
A directory to add to the whitelist of allowed directories. Unless |
|
--strict-paths is specified this will also include subdirectories |
|
of each named directory. |
|
|
|
SERVICES |
|
-------- |
|
|
|
upload-pack:: |
|
This serves `git-fetch-pack` and `git-peek-remote` |
|
clients. It is enabled by default, but a repository can |
|
disable it by setting `daemon.uploadpack` configuration |
|
item to `false`. |
|
|
|
EXAMPLES |
|
-------- |
|
git-daemon as inetd server:: |
|
To set up `git-daemon` as an inetd service that handles any |
|
repository under the whitelisted set of directories, /pub/foo |
|
and /pub/bar, place an entry like the following into |
|
/etc/inetd all on one line: |
|
+ |
|
------------------------------------------------ |
|
git stream tcp nowait nobody /usr/bin/git-daemon |
|
git-daemon --inetd --verbose |
|
--syslog --export-all |
|
/pub/foo /pub/bar |
|
------------------------------------------------ |
|
|
|
|
|
git-daemon as inetd server for virtual hosts:: |
|
To set up `git-daemon` as an inetd service that handles |
|
repositories for different virtual hosts, `www.example.com` |
|
and `www.example.org`, place an entry like the following into |
|
`/etc/inetd` all on one line: |
|
+ |
|
------------------------------------------------ |
|
git stream tcp nowait nobody /usr/bin/git-daemon |
|
git-daemon --inetd --verbose |
|
--syslog --export-all |
|
--interpolated-path=/pub/%H%D |
|
/pub/www.example.org/software |
|
/pub/www.example.com/software |
|
/software |
|
------------------------------------------------ |
|
+ |
|
In this example, the root-level directory `/pub` will contain |
|
a subdirectory for each virtual host name supported. |
|
Further, both hosts advertise repositories simply as |
|
`git://www.example.com/software/repo.git`. For pre-1.4.0 |
|
clients, a symlink from `/software` into the appropriate |
|
default repository could be made as well. |
