Set up gitweb server on nginx

Precondition

please setup your git server via git-http-backend on nginx.

Setup gitweb conf

sudo apt-get install gitweb 

/etc/gitweb.conf is Gitweb (Git web interface) configuration file
The default project root is /usr/lib/git.
Here, I changed to my own path.
our $projectroot = "/home/errong_leng/www/git";

Change nginx conf

cat /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/git.errong.win.conf

server {
    listen  80;
    listen [::]:80;
    server_name git.errong.win;
    auth_basic "Restricted";
    auth_basic_user_file /home/errong_leng/.gitpasswd;
 location ~ ^.*\.git/(HEAD|info/refs|objects/info/.*|git-(upload|receive)-pack)$ {
  root /home/errong_leng/www/git;
  fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/fcgiwrap.socket;
  fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME   /usr/lib/git-core/git-http-backend;
  fastcgi_param PATH_INFO         $uri;
  fastcgi_param GIT_PROJECT_ROOT  /home/errong_leng/www/git;
  fastcgi_param GIT_HTTP_EXPORT_ALL "";
  fastcgi_param REMOTE_USER $remote_user;
  include fastcgi_params;
 }
 location /index.cgi {
  root /usr/share/gitweb;
  include fastcgi_params;
  gzip off;
  fastcgi_param SCRIPT_NAME $uri;
  fastcgi_param GITWEB_CONFIG /etc/gitweb.conf;
  fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/fcgiwrap.socket;
 }
 location / {
  root /usr/share/gitweb;
  index index.cgi;
 }
}

cat /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/git.errong.win-ssl.conf

server {
    listen 443 ssl http2;
    listen [::]:443 ssl http2;
    server_name git.errong.win;
    ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/git.errong.win/fullchain.cer;
    ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/git.errong.win/git.errong.win.key;
    auth_basic "Restricted";
    auth_basic_user_file /home/errong_leng/.gitpasswd;
 location ~ ^.*\.git/(HEAD|info/refs|objects/info/.*|git-(upload|receive)-pack)$ {
  root /home/errong_leng/www/git;
  fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/fcgiwrap.socket;
  fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME   /usr/lib/git-core/git-http-backend;
  fastcgi_param PATH_INFO         $uri;
  fastcgi_param GIT_PROJECT_ROOT  /home/errong_leng/www/git;
  fastcgi_param GIT_HTTP_EXPORT_ALL "";
  fastcgi_param REMOTE_USER $remote_user;
  include fastcgi_params;
 }
 location /index.cgi {
  root /usr/share/gitweb;
  include fastcgi_params;
  gzip off;
  fastcgi_param SCRIPT_NAME $uri;
  fastcgi_param GITWEB_CONFIG /etc/gitweb.conf;
  fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/fcgiwrap.socket;
    }
 location / {
  root /usr/share/gitweb;
  index index.cgi;
 }
}

Restart nginx server.

errors handle

If your gitweb server can't work.
You can check the error log to analysis the cause.
cat /var/log/nginx/error.log
In my case, I encountered below errors.
It turned out that my system did not install perl module for CGI and HTML::Entities.
I installed them manually from sources.
Download CGI source
Download HTML::Entities source
I have a post for this. Install perl module from source
