index : cgit

-- A cgit auth filter that puts chosen repositories behind a login form and a
-- signed session cookie. cgit consults it on every request once cgitrc names
-- it with auth-filter=lua:/path/to/auth-file.lua, and it answers the
-- authenticate-cookie, authenticate-post and body actions the filter API
-- defines. This variant keeps the accounts, the groups and the per-repository
-- access lists in files on disk, which suits a user set that is large or
-- maintained by something else. The companion auth-inline.lua behaves
-- identically but carries the same lists inside the script.

-- The script runs on Lua 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4 and LuaJIT, and the runtime has to
-- be the same Lua that cgit was built against. Lua 5.5 will not do, because
-- luaossl has no 5.5 build.
--
-- The session cookie is marked Secure by default, so a browser only sends
-- it back over HTTPS. On an instance served over plain HTTP login loops
-- until cookie_insecure below is set.
--
-- Two libraries are needed. luaossl provides openssl.rand and openssl.hmac and
-- lives at <https://github.com/wahern/luaossl>, and luaposix provides
-- posix.sys.stat and posix.unistd and lives at
-- <https://github.com/luaposix/luaposix>. The reliable cross-platform way to
-- install them is LuaRocks matched to your Lua version, and luaossl also needs
-- the OpenSSL development headers present.
