# README: gitolite web interface

[gitolite](https://gitolite.com/gitolite/) is a great tool to manage

[git](https://git-scm.com/) repositories and get access by

[ssh](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Shell_Protocol).

There are also possibilities to use

[http](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypertext_Transfer_Protocol)

for transport, e. g.:

  * [installing on a smart http git server](https://gitolite.com/gitolite/http)

  * [Making repositories available to both ssh and http mode clients](https://gitolite.com/gitolite/contrib/ssh-and-http)

With [sskm](https://gitolite.com/gitolite/contrib/sskm) there is also a tool

available to manage ssh keys for the user over ssh.

But until now there is no possibility to manage ssh keys over http.

Therefore this script [gitolite_web_interface.py](gitolite_web_interface.py)

should give the possibility to add ssh keys over http. After this sskm over

ssh can be used to further manage the keys.

Especially if you have already a directory service (e. g. LDAP)

for managing user accounts with password, this script

*gitolite_web_interface.py* provides the possibility to let the users

manage their ssh keys in a gitolite environment.

## Usage

If you have installed [gitolite](https://gitolite.com/gitolite/) on a server

and enabled http mode

([Making repositories available to both ssh and http mode clients](https://gitolite.com/gitolite/contrib/ssh-and-http)),

you can use this script:

First you have to enable sskm in gitolite: [changing keys -- self service key management](https://gitolite.com/gitolite/contrib/sskm)

Next you should adapt in *gitolite_web_interface.py* the following few keys of

the global variable CONFIG:

  * gitolite_wrapper_script

  * ssh_gitolite_user

  * ssh_host

  * only_https

  * gitolite_cmd

  * gitolite_home

  * gitolite_admin_repo

  * creategroup_format

  * provided_options with:

    * help

	* info

	* mngkey

	* creategroup

	* createrepo

Store the script in an adequate directory with necessary permissions, e. g.:

    install --group=git --mode=0700 --owner=git --preserve-timestamps \

      --target-directory=/var/www/bin/ gitolite_web_interface.py

You can install the module in the same way, e. g.:

    install --group=git --mode=0600 --owner=git --preserve-timestamps \

      --target-directory=/var/www/bin/gitolite_web_interface_mod/ \

	  gitolite_web_interface_mod/*.py

Or you can install the module using pip, e. g.:

    pip3 install https://github.com/dlr-pa/gitolite_web_interface/archive/refs/heads/master.zip

Now you can integrate calling it in [apache](https://apache.org/),

e. g. add the following lines to your apache configuration:

    SuexecUserGroup git git

	ScriptAlias /www/ /var/www/bin/gitolite_web_interface.py

    

        AuthType Basic

        AuthName "gitolite access is required"

        Require valid-user

        AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/gitolite.passwd
