+title: hg.sr.ht Configuration
+---
+
+This document covers the configuration process for hg.sr.ht.
+
+# Cronjobs
+
+- `hgsrht-periodic`: The recommended configuration is
+ `*/20 * * * * hgsrht-periodic`.
+- `hgsrht-clonebundles` (optional): It is recommend to run this job daily.
+
+# Storage
+
+## Repository
+
+<div class="alert alert-info">
+ <strong>Note:</strong> If hg.sr.ht was installed in a package, you may skip
+ this section.
+</div>
+
+As a repository hosting service, hg.sr.ht requires a place for storing
+repositories (we recommend `/var/lib/hg/`). It also requires a `hg` user who
+has ownership over the repository storage location.
+
+# SSH Dispatch
+
+At the moment, hg.sr.ht uses git.sr.ht's SSH dispatcher, which you need to set
+up as the system-wide SSH authorization hook. See git.sr.ht's [Configuration
+page](/git.sr.ht/configuration.md) for more information.
+
+Once this is done, you need to make the hg.sr.ht authorization hook be part of
+the SSH dispatching, via the `hgsrht-keys` and `hgsrht-shell` scripts. See the
+`[dispatch]` section of your hg.sr.ht configuration for more details.
+
+Authorization logs are written to `hg-srht-shell`.
+
+# HTTP(S) Cloning
+
+hg.sr.ht does not do HTTP(S) cloning for you, so you'll need to set it up
+yourself in Nginx. Here's an example Nginx configuration:
+
+```nginx
+location = /authorize {
+ proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:5001;
+ proxy_pass_request_body off;
+ proxy_set_header Content-Length "";
+ proxy_set_header X-Original-URI $request_uri;
+}
+
+location ~ ^/[~^][a-z0-9_]+/[a-zA-Z0-9_.-]+/\.hg.*$ {
+ auth_request /authorize;
+ root /var/lib/mercurial;
+}
+```
+
+It is important that you set up the `/authorize` endpoint to enforce the
+privacy of private repositories.
