I finally stopped being lazy and decided to create an HTTPS version of this blog. I know it's not at all required but I decided it could/would be a good thing to do anyway.

For now due to the blog software being crappy it's showing an invalid certificate due to including resources that are not secured - I'll work on fixing that.

Commands prefixed with # need to be run as a sudo or root.

To install we need to run the following command:

# apt-get install -y sks

# sks build

And change the permissions for the sks user:

# chown -R debian-sks:debian-sks /var/lib/sks/DB

Next we need to make sks start from init, open up /etc/default/sks in your favourite editor and initstart to look like below:

Installation

First up we'll need to install git and some Python tools to get Gitosis installed.

Where # is used it means you need to either run the command as a superuser with sudo or as root.

# apt-get install -y git-core gitweb python-setuptools

Next we have to clone gitosis from it's git repository and install it.

cd /tmp

git clone git://eagain.net/gitosis.git

cd gitosis

# adduser --system --shell /bin/sh --gecos 'git version control' --group --disabled-password --home /home/git git

The above command creates a new system user with /bin/sh as More >
