However, there are several additional -steps required. +hg.sr.ht can be installed with the [standard package +installation process](/installation.md#installing-from-packages). ## Daemons -- `hg.sr.ht`: the web service +- `hg.sr.ht` - The web service. ## Cronjobs -- `hgsrht-periodic`: various maintenance tasks. Recommended configuration is - `*/20 * * * * hgsrht-periodic` -- `hgsrht-clonebundles`: optional cronjob to generate [clone - bundles][clonebundles]. Recommended to run daily, e.g. - `0 * * * * hgsrht-clonebundles` - -[clonebundles]: https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/ClonebundlesExtension - -Clone bundles are computationally expensive to create, and use up more disk -space, but may dramatically speed up clone operations on large repositories. - -## Repository storage - -You will need to set up a directory for repositories to be stored in - we -suggest `/var/lib/hg/`. Also configure a `hg` user and assign ownership over -`/var/lib/hg/` to this user. The hg.sr.ht package will automatically prepare -these for you. If you do not use the package, you must create the user yourself -and ensure that the hg.sr.ht web application runs as this user. - -## SSH dispatch - -At the moment, hg.sr.ht uses git.sr.ht's SSH dispatcher, which you need to setup -as the system-wide SSH authorization hook. See the [git.sr.ht -documentation](../git.sr.ht/installation.md#ssh-dispatch) 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 you hg.sr.ht configuration for details on how this -works. - -Authorization logs are written to `hg-srht-shell`. - -## HTTP(s) Cloning - -hg.sr.ht does not do this for you - you need to wire it up in nginx. Here's an -example config: - -```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; -} -``` +- `hgsrht-periodic`: Performs various maintenance tasks. +- `hgsrht-clonebundles` (optional): Generates [clone + bundles](https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/ClonebundlesExtension). |
