-- cgit auth-filter that gates repositories behind a login form and a signed -- session cookie. -- -- This is the INLINE variant. The user accounts and the per-repository access -- lists are written directly in this script, in the two tables in the -- CONFIGURATION block below. Edit them here and reload. This suits a small -- fixed set of users that rarely changes. -- -- The companion auth-file.lua behaves identically but reads its accounts and -- access lists from files on disk instead, which suits larger or externally -- managed user sets. -- -- Enable it in cgitrc with -- auth-filter=lua:/path/to/auth-inline.lua -- -- SUPPORTED LUA -- -- Lua 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4 and LuaJIT. Lua 5.5 is not supported, because luaossl -- has no 5.5 build. Match the runtime to the Lua that cgit is built against. -- -- HTTPS IS RECOMMENDED -- -- Serve cgit over HTTPS. Terminate TLS at the web server in front of cgit. The -- session cookie is marked Secure by default, so a browser only sends it back -- over HTTPS. If you genuinely run cgit over plain HTTP with no TLS anywhere, -- set cookie_insecure below, otherwise the cookie is never returned and login -- appears to loop. -- -- DEPENDENCIES -- -- luaossl OpenSSL binding, provides openssl.rand and openssl.hmac -- -- luaposix POSIX binding, provides posix.sys.stat and posix.unistd -- -- -- The reliable cross-platform install is LuaRocks, matched to your Lua -- version. luaossl also needs the OpenSSL development headers present. -- -- # Debian and Ubuntu -- sudo apt install luarocks libssl-dev -- sudo luarocks --lua-version 5.1 install luaossl -- sudo luarocks --lua-version 5.1 install luaposix -- -- # Fedora -- sudo dnf install luarocks openssl-devel -- sudo luarocks --lua-version 5.1 install luaossl luaposix -- -- # Alpine -- sudo apk add luarocks openssl-dev -- sudo luarocks-5.1 install luaossl luaposix -- -- # macOS with Homebrew -- brew install luarocks openssl -- luarocks install luaossl OPENSSL_DIR="$(brew --prefix openssl)" -- luarocks install luaposix -- -- Some distributions also package these, for example lua-luaossl and lua-posix -- on Debian.
