20 .Nm gotweb
21 .Nd Game of Trees Git repository server for web browsers
22 .Sh SYNOPSIS
23 .Nm
24 .Sh DESCRIPTION
25 .Nm
26 provides a simple web interface for read-only access to Git repositories,
27 allowing repository contents to be viewed with a web browser.
28 .Pp
29 .Nm
30 is a CGI program based on
31 .Xr got 1
32 and
33 .Xr kcgi 3
34 which is intended to run in a
35 .Xr chroot 2
36 environment in
37 .Pa /var/www .
38 The program has been designed to work out of the box with
39 the
40 .Xr httpd 8
41 web server in conjunction with
42 .Xr slowcgi 8 .
43 .Pp
44 Enabling
45 .Nm
46 requires the following steps:
47 .Bl -enum
48 .It
49 The
50 .Xr httpd.conf 5
51 configuration file must be adjusted to run
52 .Nm
53 as a CGI program with
54 .Xr slowcgi 8 .
55 The
56 .Sx EXAMPLES
57 section below contains an appropriate configuration file sample.
58 .It
59 httpd(8) and slowcgi(8) must be enabled and started:
60 .Bd -literal -offset indent
61   # rcctl enable httpd slowcgi
62   # rcctl start httpd slowcgi
63 .Ed
64 .It
65 Optionally, the run-time behaviour of
66 .Nm
67 can be configured via the
68 .Xr gotweb.conf 5
69 configuration file.
70 .It
71 Git repositories must be created at a suitable location inside the
72 web server's
73 .Xr chroot 2
74 environment.
75 These repositories should
76 .Em not
77 be writable by the user ID of the
78 .Xr httpd 8
79 server.
80 The default location for repositories published by
81 .Nm
82 is
83 .Pa /var/www/got/public .
84 .It
85 Git repositories served by
86 .Nm
87 should be kept up-to-date with a mechanism such as
88 .Xr git-fetch 1
89 or
90 .Xr rsync 1 ,
91 scheduled by
92 .Xr cron 8 .
