-------------

Kallithea will by default generate URLs based on the WSGI environment.

Alternatively, you can use some special configuration settings to control

directly which scheme/protocol Kallithea will use when generating URLs:

- With ``https_fixup = true``, the scheme will be taken from the

  ``X-Url-Scheme``, ``X-Forwarded-Scheme`` or ``X-Forwarded-Proto`` HTTP header

  (default ``http``).

- With ``force_https = true`` the default will be ``https``.

- With ``use_htsts = true``, Kallithea will set ``Strict-Transport-Security`` when using https.

Nginx virtual host example

--------------------------

Sample config for Nginx using proxy:

.. code-block:: nginx

    upstream kallithea {

        server 127.0.0.1:5000;

        # add more instances for load balancing

        #server 127.0.0.1:5001;

        #server 127.0.0.1:5002;

    }

    ## gist alias

    server {

       listen          443;

       server_name     gist.example.com;

       access_log      /var/log/nginx/gist.access.log;

       error_log       /var/log/nginx/gist.error.log;

       ssl on;

       ssl_certificate     gist.your.kallithea.server.crt;

       ssl_certificate_key gist.your.kallithea.server.key;

       ssl_session_timeout 5m;

       ssl_protocols SSLv3 TLSv1;

       ssl_ciphers DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA:DHE-RSA-AES128-SHA:EDH-RSA-DES-CBC3-SHA:AES256-SHA:DES-CBC3-SHA:AES128-SHA:RC4-SHA:RC4-MD5;

       ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on;

       rewrite ^/(.+)$ https://kallithea.example.com/_admin/gists/$1;

       rewrite (.*)    https://kallithea.example.com/_admin/gists;

    }

    server {

       listen          443;

       server_name     kallithea.example.com

       access_log      /var/log/nginx/kallithea.access.log;

       error_log       /var/log/nginx/kallithea.error.log;

       ssl on;

       ssl_certificate     your.kallithea.server.crt;

       ssl_certificate_key your.kallithea.server.key;

       ssl_session_timeout 5m;

       ssl_protocols SSLv3 TLSv1;

       ssl_ciphers DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA:DHE-RSA-AES128-SHA:EDH-RSA-DES-CBC3-SHA:AES256-SHA:DES-CBC3-SHA:AES128-SHA:RC4-SHA:RC4-MD5;

       ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on;

       ## uncomment root directive if you want to serve static files by nginx

       ## requires static_files = false in .ini file

       #root /path/to/installation/kallithea/public;

       include         /etc/nginx/proxy.conf;

       location / {

            try_files $uri @kallithea;

       }

       location @kallithea {

            proxy_pass      http://127.0.0.1:5000;

       }

    }

Here's the proxy.conf. It's tuned so it will not timeout on long

pushes or large pushes::

    proxy_redirect              off;

    proxy_set_header            Host $host;

    ## needed for container auth

    #proxy_set_header            REMOTE_USER $remote_user;

    #proxy_set_header            X-Forwarded-User $remote_user;

    proxy_set_header            X-Url-Scheme $scheme;

    proxy_set_header            X-Host $http_host;

    proxy_set_header            X-Real-IP $remote_addr;

    proxy_set_header            X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;

    proxy_set_header            Proxy-host $proxy_host;

    proxy_buffering             off;

    proxy_connect_timeout       7200;

    proxy_send_timeout          7200;

    proxy_read_timeout          7200;

    proxy_buffers               8 32k;

    client_max_body_size        1024m;

    client_body_buffer_size     128k;

    large_client_header_buffers 8 64k;

Apache virtual host reverse proxy example

-----------------------------------------

Here is a sample configuration file for Apache using proxy:

.. code-block:: apache

    <VirtualHost *:80>

            ServerName kallithea.example.com

            <Proxy *>

              # For Apache 2.4 and later:

              Require all granted

              # For Apache 2.2 and earlier, instead use:

              # Order allow,deny

              # Allow from all

            </Proxy>

            #important !

            #Directive to properly generate url (clone url) for pylons

            ProxyPreserveHost On

            #kallithea instance

            ProxyPass / http://127.0.0.1:5000/

            ProxyPassReverse / http://127.0.0.1:5000/

            #to enable https use line below

            #SetEnvIf X-Url-Scheme https HTTPS=1

    </VirtualHost>

Apache as subdirectory

----------------------

Apache subdirectory part:

.. code-block:: apache

    <Location /<someprefix> >

      ProxyPass http://127.0.0.1:5000/<someprefix>

      ProxyPassReverse http://127.0.0.1:5000/<someprefix>

      SetEnvIf X-Url-Scheme https HTTPS=1

    </Location>

Besides the regular apache setup you will need to add the following line

into ``[app:main]`` section of your .ini file::

    filter-with = proxy-prefix

Add the following at the end of the .ini file::

    [filter:proxy-prefix]

    use = egg:PasteDeploy#prefix

    prefix = /<someprefix>

then change ``<someprefix>`` into your chosen prefix

Apache with mod_wsgi

--------------------

Alternatively, Kallithea can be set up with Apache under mod_wsgi. For

that, you'll need to:

- Install mod_wsgi. If using a Debian-based distro, you can install

  the package libapache2-mod-wsgi::

    aptitude install libapache2-mod-wsgi

- Enable mod_wsgi::

    a2enmod wsgi

- Create a wsgi dispatch script, like the one below. Make sure you

  check that the paths correctly point to where you installed Kallithea

  and its Python Virtual Environment.

- Enable the ``WSGIScriptAlias`` directive for the WSGI dispatch script,

  as in the following example. Once again, check the paths are

  correctly specified.

Here is a sample excerpt from an Apache Virtual Host configuration file:

.. code-block:: apache

    WSGIDaemonProcess kallithea \

        processes=1 threads=4 \

    WSGIScriptAlias / /srv/kallithea/dispatch.wsgi

    WSGIPassAuthorization On

Or if using a dispatcher WSGI script with proper virtualenv activation:

.. code-block:: apache

    WSGIDaemonProcess kallithea processes=1 threads=4

    WSGIScriptAlias / /srv/kallithea/dispatch.wsgi

    WSGIPassAuthorization On

.. note::

   When running apache as root, please make sure it doesn't run Kallithea as

   root, for examply by adding: ``user=www-data group=www-data`` to the configuration.

.. note::

   If running Kallithea in multiprocess mode,

   make sure you set ``instance_id = *`` in the configuration so each process

   gets it's own cache invalidation key.

Example WSGI dispatch script:

.. code-block:: python

    import os

    os.environ["HGENCODING"] = "UTF-8"

    os.environ['PYTHON_EGG_CACHE'] = '/srv/kallithea/.egg-cache'

    # sometimes it's needed to set the curent dir

    os.chdir('/srv/kallithea/')

    import site

    from paste.deploy import loadapp

    from paste.script.util.logging_config import fileConfig

    fileConfig('/srv/kallithea/my.ini')

    application = loadapp('config:/srv/kallithea/my.ini')

Or using proper virtualenv activation:

.. code-block:: python

    activate_this = '/srv/kallithea/venv/bin/activate_this.py'

    execfile(activate_this, dict(__file__=activate_this))

    import os

    os.environ['HOME'] = '/srv/kallithea'

    ini = '/srv/kallithea/kallithea.ini'

    from paste.script.util.logging_config import fileConfig

    fileConfig(ini)

    from paste.deploy import loadapp

    application = loadapp('config:' + ini)

Other configuration files

-------------------------

A number of `example init.d scripts`__ can be found in

the ``init.d`` directory of the Kallithea source.
