# 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.

# --- 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.

# --- 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.

# Which config cgit reads. It falls back to the compiled-in /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

# --- 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.
