sudo apt-get install nginx fcgiwrap git apache2-utils
Set up https server
First, please setup your https server by your self.
You can refer to
my guide
git-http-backend
git-http-backend is a Server side implementation of Git over HTTP.
/usr/lib/git-core/git-http-backend
Set Up Password Authentication file for your git server
We can get a password with MD5-based password algorithm, Apache variant via
openssl passwd
command.
You can add a username to the file using this command. We are using sammy as our username, but you can use whatever name you'd like:
sudo sh -c "echo -n 'sammy:' >> .gitpasswd"
Next, add an encrypted password entry for the username by typing:
sudo sh -c "openssl passwd -apr1 >> .gitpasswd"
You can repeat this process for additional usernames. You can see how the usernames and encrypted passwords are stored within the file by typing:
cat .gitpasswd
Output
sammy:$apr1$wI1/T0nB$jEKuTJHkTOOWkopnXqC1d1
Or We can use The
htpasswd
utility, found in the
apache2-utils
package, serves this function well.
Let's add a new user kimmy via htpasswd, below is command line.
htpasswd -c .gitpasswd kimmy
cat .gitpasswd
sammy:$apr1$wI1/T0nB$jEKuTJHkTOOWkopnXqC1d1
kimmy:$apr1$sBPFn6ek$L8Ta2LkiuXzi7bQZUqUlq0

OK, nginx server config is done, just reload it.(sudo nginx -s reload)
Now it is time to set up git repository under the root(/home/errong_leng/www/git)
Set up git repository
$ cd www/git/
$ mkdir helloworld.git
$ cd helloworld.git/
$ git --bare init
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/errong_leng/www/git/helloworld.git/
$ cp hooks/post-update.sample hooks/post-update
$ chmod a+x hooks/post-update
$ chmod a+w . -R
Now, We can git clone and push to the respository on remote machine via http/https protocol.
git clone helloworld.git
git clone
https://git.errong.win/helloworld.git Cloning into 'helloworld'...
