<h2 class="section" id='H1'><a href="#H1" class="sectionlink"><i class="icon-share-alt"> </i></a>Gitblit as a Viewer</h2><p>Gitblit is designed to be a complete Git server solution, however you may already have a Git serving solution such as ssh+gitolite or Gerrit. For these scenarios, you may configure Gitblit to be just a repository viewer.</p>
<h3 class="section" id='H2'><a href="#H2" class="sectionlink"><i class="icon-share-alt"> </i></a>Lock-down your Viewer</h3><p>Here is an example configuration that disables all administration, all Git serving features, and requires an authenticated user to view anything.</p>
<pre><code>git.repositoriesFolder = ${baseFolder}/git
git.cacheRepositoryList = true
git.searchRepositoriesSubfolders = true
git.searchRecursionDepth = -1
git.searchExclusions =
git.daemonPort = 0
git.enableGitServlet = false
git.enableGarbageCollection = false
git.defaultAccessRestriction = VIEW
web.authenticateViewPages = true
web.allowAdministration = false
web.enableRpcServlet = false
web.enableRpcManagement = false
web.enableRpcAdministration = false
web.allowForking = false
</code></pre>
<h3 class="section" id='H3'><a href="#H3" class="sectionlink"><i class="icon-share-alt"> </i></a>Tomcat or Reverse-Proxy Servers</h3><p>If you are running Gitblit on a Tomcat-based container you will likely run into forward-slash character troubles.</p><p>To resolve this either set:</p>
<pre><code>web.mountParameters = false
</code></pre><p>or</p>
<pre><code>web.forwardSlashCharacter = !
</code></pre>
<h3 class="section" id='H4'><a href="#H4" class="sectionlink"><i class="icon-share-alt"> </i></a>Advertised Repository Urls</h3><p>You may also want to advertise repository urls for your other Git serving solution from Gitblit.</p>
<ul>
<li><em>{0}</em> is the token for the repository name</li>
<li><em>{1}</em> is the token for the username</li>
</ul><p>The username is only practical if you have setup the account names for your other git serving solution to match the Gitblit account.</p>
<pre><code>web.otherUrls = ssh://localhost/git/{0} git://localhost:29418/git/{0} https://{1}@localhost/r/{0}
</code></pre>
