# Apache httpd 2.4 configuration for cgit. # # Apache runs the cgit.cgi binary directly through mod_cgid, so no FastCGI # bridge is needed. Drop this file in your vhost directory, for example # /etc/apache2/sites-available/cgit.conf on Debian and Ubuntu or # /etc/httpd/conf.d/cgit.conf on RHEL and Fedora, then enable it and reload. # # Paths assumed below, edit them to match your install. # cgit CGI binary /usr/lib/cgit/cgit.cgi # static assets /usr/share/cgit (cgit.css cgit.js cgit.png favicon.ico robots.txt) # cgit config /etc/cgitrc # public URL https://git.example.org/ (cgit at the domain root) # # cgit is one CGI executable. It learns the repository and the page from # PATH_INFO and reads page options such as h= and id= from QUERY_STRING. # ScriptAlias runs the binary and forwards the trailing path as PATH_INFO, so # no extra path tuning is needed. cgit builds its own link base from # SCRIPT_NAME. The five static assets are served straight off disk. mod_alias # resolves Alias and ScriptAlias in order and the first match wins, so the # static Alias lines come before the catch-all ScriptAlias to stop the two # routes from shadowing each other. # --- Required modules ------------------------------------------------------- # mod_cgid suits the threaded MPMs that ship by default. Use mod_cgi instead # only on the old prefork MPM. mod_alias provides Alias and ScriptAlias and # mod_env provides SetEnv. On Debian and Ubuntu run a2enmod cgid alias env # rather than editing these lines. The guards make double-loading harmless. LoadModule cgid_module modules/mod_cgid.so LoadModule alias_module modules/mod_alias.so LoadModule env_module modules/mod_env.so LoadModule headers_module modules/mod_headers.so # --- Plain HTTP virtual host ------------------------------------------------ # This vhost only bounces plain HTTP up to HTTPS. It serves no cgit itself, # every cgit directive lives in the HTTPS vhost below. To run without TLS for # now, convert the HTTPS vhost to port 80 and delete this whole block rather # than editing it, since deleting only the Redirect line would leave a vhost # that serves nothing. ServerName git.example.org ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/cgit_error.log CustomLog /var/log/apache2/cgit_access.log combined Redirect permanent / https://git.example.org/ # --- HTTPS virtual host, this one serves cgit ------------------------------- # To run without TLS for now, change this opening line to , # delete the three SSL lines, and delete the port 80 vhost above so there is # only one vhost. Everything else stays the same. ServerName git.example.org ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/cgit_ssl_error.log CustomLog /var/log/apache2/cgit_ssl_access.log combined # TLS needs mod_ssl (a2enmod ssl). Point these at your certificate. SSLEngine on SSLCertificateFile /etc/ssl/certs/git.example.org.crt SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/ssl/private/git.example.org.key # Which config cgit reads. It falls back to the compiled-in /etc/cgitrc, # the same path used here, but setting it makes the location explicit and # lets you point at a per-vhost file later. SetEnv CGIT_CONFIG /etc/cgitrc # --- Security headers (needs mod_headers, a2enmod headers) -------------- # Set here, not in cgit, so they also cover the static assets Apache # serves. script-src stays self because cgit loads only its own cgit.js, # and style-src allows inline for the diffstat bars. If you enable the # gravatar or libravatar avatar filter, add its host to img-src, for # example https://www.gravatar.com. Header always set Content-Security-Policy "default-src 'self'; script-src 'self'; style-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline'; img-src 'self' data:; object-src 'none'; base-uri 'none'; frame-ancestors 'self'" Header always set X-Content-Type-Options "nosniff" Header always set Referrer-Policy "no-referrer" # Enable only once you serve HTTPS exclusively, since it is hard to undo. #Header always set Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=63072000; includeSubDomains" # --- Static assets, served directly by Apache --------------------------- # These five files are the only things served off disk. Each Alias maps # one URL to one file. Because they come before the ScriptAlias below, a # request for /cgit.css is answered from disk and never reaches cgit. # cgit.css and cgit.js are the paths cgit's HTML points at by default, so # if you relocate the assets update both these Alias targets and the css, # js, logo and favicon settings in cgitrc to agree. Alias /cgit.css /usr/share/cgit/cgit.css Alias /cgit.js /usr/share/cgit/cgit.js Alias /cgit.png /usr/share/cgit/cgit.png Alias /favicon.ico /usr/share/cgit/favicon.ico Alias /robots.txt /usr/share/cgit/robots.txt # Apache 2.4 denies filesystem access by default, so open the asset # directory for reading. Options None AllowOverride None Require all granted # Optional. These assets rarely change, so let browsers cache them. # Needs mod_expires (a2enmod expires). Safe to delete this block. ExpiresActive On ExpiresDefault "access plus 30 days" # --- cgit, the catch-all ------------------------------------------------ # ScriptAlias maps a URL prefix to a path, marks it executable, and # forwards the rest of the URL as PATH_INFO. Mapping / makes cgit the # handler for every URL the static Aliases above did not already claim. # # The trailing slash on cgit.cgi/ is load bearing. It tells Apache that # cgit.cgi is the program and the rest of the URL is PATH_INFO. So a # request for /torvalds/linux/tree/kernel?h=next runs the binary with # PATH_INFO set to /torvalds/linux/tree/kernel and QUERY_STRING set to # h=next. cgit derives its link base from SCRIPT_NAME, which at the domain # root is / and needs no tuning. For a sub-path install see the note below. ScriptAlias / /usr/lib/cgit/cgit.cgi/ # Allow CGI execution here. ScriptAlias implies it, stating it makes # the intent clear. Options +ExecCGI # Run cgit.cgi as a CGI even if it is ever reached through a plain # Alias rather than ScriptAlias. SetHandler cgi-script AllowOverride None Require all granted # --- Sub-path install, only if cgit is not at the domain root --------------- # To serve cgit at https://git.example.org/cgit/ instead of the root, change # the ScriptAlias to # ScriptAlias /cgit/ /usr/lib/cgit/cgit.cgi/ # and move the static assets under the same prefix, for example # Alias /cgit/cgit.css /usr/share/cgit/cgit.css # SCRIPT_NAME then becomes /cgit and cgit auto-detects it. If links come out # wrong, pin the base in cgitrc with virtual-root=/cgit.
