kmxgit 0.4

kmxgit is a web interface and a Git server written in C and Elixir / Phoenix.

kmxgit started as a frontend for git-auth. Now public repositories are also supported.

This branch is work in progress, for the stable branch see v0.3.

For releases see the tags, latest is v0.3.2.

ChangeLog | TODO

Installation

git-auth installation

git-auth handles all permissions for a single git user accessible through SSH with just one config file (/etc/git/auth.conf).

Please see git-auth README.md.

Phoenix installation

• Clone repo with git clone https://git.kmx.io/kmx.io/kmxgit.git
• Change directory with cd kmxgit
• Install dependencies with mix deps.get
• Create and migrate your database with mix ecto.setup
• Start Phoenix endpoint with mix phx.server or inside IEx with iex -S mix phx.server

Now you can visit localhost:4000 from your browser.

Public access

To setup public access repositories on HTTP or HTTPS you need to setup your web server to serve certain requests with git-http-backend.

Nginx setup

First you need to setup fcgiwrap to serve on 127.0.0.1:9001.

Then in your nginx server config :

location ~ ^(.*/info/refs|.*/git-upload-pack)$ {
    fastcgi_pass  127.0.0.1:9001;
    include       fastcgi_params;
    fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME  /usr/local/libexec/git/git-http-backend;
    fastcgi_param GIT_PROJECT_ROOT ~git;
    fastcgi_param PATH_INFO        $1;        
}
