#gitweb — Public Fediverse posts

#AI crawlers overloaded my #apache server again. They crawl the #gitweb interface - commits, commitdiffs, blobs, atom+rss feeds - instead of simply cloning the repository, which would take a fraction of the traffic.
I decided to fully block certain URL paths by responding with "HTTP 402 Payment Required": https://p.cweiske.de/929

Now that things have slowed down, I still get between 10 and 30 requests per second on these URLs.

Настройка Git сервера с нуля

Любой начинающий DevOps начинает своё знакомство с Git. Этот инструмент стал неотъемлемой частью рабочего процесса разработчиков по всему миру. Во многих курсах и руководствах по DevOps описывается настройка серверов через популярные платформы, такие как GitLab, а иногда и Gitea. Однако мне стало интересно попробовать другой путь — использовать встроенный в Git инструмент GitWeb. Подробнее

With #cgit I can set configuration variable `section-from-path`, and it makes all repos grouped under their directories like at https://git.cepl.eu/cgit/. Unfortunately, I cannot find the equivalent for the plain #Gitweb, so https://git.cepl.eu/git/ looks convoluted.

Any idea, how to achieve the same effect with gitweb?

My evidence that #Amazon doesn't know what it's doing is that their web crawler keeps getting lost in my #GitWeb website, constantly tripping over the various commit, diff, and raw links of the repositories I've posted.

Just `git clone` the repositories! There's only like 8 of them and you'll have all the data you're downloading piecemeal multiple times over!

On the note of #podman, I have not been able to get #forgejo (gitea fork) working, something about permissions, probably an issue with rootless podman. For my use it's a bit overkill anyways and I'm thinking of switching to something simpler. I've heart of #gitolite and #cgit or #gitweb as good alternatives but am open others.

Input and boosts appreciated! :ablobcatheartsqueeze:​

A lot of people use #github just to have web view of their repository. That is entirely unnecessary. Git comes with #gitweb: a little perl script out of the box that you can configure for a simple web view of your git repositories. https://gofedora.com/how-to-install-configure-gitweb/index.html #git

A year ago I moved almost all my #OpenSource code away from #GitHub and into a self-hosted setup based on #GitWeb and integrated into my personal website. You can see the result here: :fietkau_software: https://fietkau.software/git_repositories

A fair amount of work and thought went into it, so I wrote 1.5k-ish words on the why and how & posted them to the #SelfHosted subreddit. The essay is temp sheltered here: https://stuff.jfietkau.me/git

But I am contemplating bringing back my #blog (again) as a long-term home. 🤔

finally got around to migrating my #git server from #gitweb to #stagit, and i am happy with result

@xuv @KnowPresent I have a personal project called NimCoon that I'm self-hosting on my FreedomBox using GitWeb.

Since GitWeb doesn't have bug-tracking built-in, I'm using git-bug for tracking issues and features. I haven't integrated it with other code forges that have bug-tracking features. I'm using it to augment GitWeb.

So far, I'm the only developer on this project, so I haven't really seen what collaboration with git-bug looks like.

I have finally sorted out how to install #nginx and #gitweb on #guix. I now have git repositories viewable with gitweb, cloneable over https and #gitolite.

The only thing I haven't sort out is how to keep /var/lib/gitolite set to 750. guix system reconfigure and reboots set it back to 700.

Moving my #gitweb server to #guix. Seems to have permission issues. Wonder how to make fcgiwrap with group ngnix.

#git #FreedomBox #gitWeb

Anyone run #gitolite with #nginx and #gitweb on #guix? Something seems amiss. Repositories are present, just not visible to the web. I can run gitweb.cgi on the command line and it spews out proper html. I know not where to start troubleshooting. I am suspecting a perm error or fcgi issue.

FreedomBox 19.19 has a new app for basic Git web hosting using gitweb.

I am shifting all of my personal projects that were still on Microsoft GitHub and GitLab.com to my FreedomBox.
