index : cgit

-- 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
--                <https://github.com/wahern/luaossl>
--     luaposix   POSIX binding, provides posix.sys.stat and posix.unistd
--                <https://github.com/luaposix/luaposix>
--
-- 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. If you use a distribution package, make sure it is built for the
-- same Lua version as cgit.
--
-- SECURITY NOTES
--
-- The cookie carries only a username with no server-side session store, so
-- deleting an account does not revoke a cookie already issued until it
-- expires, and instances that share a secret file accept each other's cookies.
-- The login form carries no CSRF token. Both are acceptable for gating read
-- access to a git browser. Weigh them before guarding anything more sensitive.
