Setup on Arch Linux =================== For testing aurweb patches before submission, you can use the instructions in TESTING for testing the web interface only. Note that you can only do limited testing using the PHP built-in web server. In particular, the cgit interface will be unusable as well as the ssh+git interface. For a detailed description on how to setup a full aurweb server, read the instructions below. 1) Clone the aurweb project: $ cd /srv/http/ $ git clone git://git.archlinux.org/aurweb.git 2) Setup a web server with PHP and MySQL. Configure the web server to redirect all URLs to /index.php/foo/bar/. The following block can be used with nginx: server { listen 80; server_name aur.local aur; root /srv/http/aurweb/web/html; index index.php; location ~ ^/[^/]+\.php($|/) { fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php-fpm/php-fpm.sock; fastcgi_index index.php; fastcgi_split_path_info ^(/[^/]+\.php)(/.*)$; fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name; fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_path_info; include fastcgi_params; } location ~ .* { rewrite ^/(.*)$ /index.php/$1 last; } } Ensure to enable the pdo_mysql extension in php.ini. 3) Optionally copy conf/config.defaults to /etc/aurweb/. Create or copy /etc/aurweb/config (this is expected to contain all configuration settings if the defaults file does not exist) and adjust the configuration (pay attention to disable_http_login, enable_maintenance and aur_location). 4) Install Python modules and dependencies: # pacman -S python-mysql-connector python-pygit2 python-srcinfo python-sqlalchemy \ python-bleach python-markdown python-alembic # python3 setup.py install 5) Create a new MySQL database and a user and import the aurweb SQL schema: $ python -m aurweb.initdb 6) Create a new user: # useradd -U -d /srv/http/aurweb -c 'AUR user' aur 7) Initialize the Git repository: # mkdir /srv/http/aurweb/aur.git/ # cd /srv/http/aurweb/aur.git/ # git init --bare # git config --local transfer.hideRefs '^refs/' # git config --local --add transfer.hideRefs '!refs/' # git config --local --add transfer.hideRefs '!HEAD' # ln -s /usr/local/bin/aurweb-git-update hooks/update # chown -R aur . It is recommended to read doc/git-interface.txt for more information on the administration of the package Git repository. 8) Configure sshd(8) for the AUR. Add the following lines at the end of your sshd_config(5) and restart the sshd. Note that OpenSSH 6.9 or newer is needed! Match User aur PasswordAuthentication no AuthorizedKeysCommand /usr/local/bin/aurweb-git-auth "%t" "%k" AuthorizedKeysCommandUser aur AcceptEnv AUR_OVERWRITE 9) If you want to enable smart HTTP support with nginx and fcgiwrap, you can use the following directives: location ~ "^/([a-z0-9][a-z0-9.+_-]*?)(\.git)?/(git-(receive|upload)-pack|HEAD|info/refs|objects/(info/(http-)?alternates|packs)|[0-9a-f]{2}/[0-9a-f]{38}|pack/pack-[0-9a-f]{40}\.(pack|idx))$" { fastcgi_pass unix:/run/fcgiwrap.sock; include fastcgi_params; fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /usr/lib/git-core/git-http-backend; fastcgi_param PATH_INFO /aur.git/$3; fastcgi_param GIT_HTTP_EXPORT_ALL ""; fastcgi_param GIT_NAMESPACE $1; fastcgi_param GIT_PROJECT_ROOT /srv/http/aurweb/; } Sample systemd unit files for fcgiwrap can be found under conf/. 10) If you want memcache to cache MySQL data. # pacman -S php-memcached And edit the configuration file to enabled memcache caching.
