Fossil-director is an HTTP/SCGI server used to host multiple Fossil repositories, based on the hostname.
The server is meant to run behind nginx or other reverse proxy. Either HTTP or SCGI can be used, though SCGI is probably preferable. Fossil-director will inspect the incoming HTTP Host: header and dispatch to the configured fossil repository.
Installation
(Requires Python >= 3.8)
pip install fossil-director
Configuration
A configuration .ini is required. At minimum, define a hostname and path to the fossil repository:
[example.com]
repo = /path/to/repo.fossil
Each virtual host is a new section. Here are all of the options:
[foo.org]
repo = /other/path.fossil
repolist = false # if repo is a directory, set this to true to serve
# a directory index of fossil files
baseurl = http://foo.org/fossil/ # base url
args = --nodelay --acme # extra arguments to the `fossil http` command
By default, the server runs on port 7000. Here are the server options:
[server]
host = 127.0.0.1
port = 7000
scgi = true # to run as an SCGI server
fossil_cmd = /usr/local/bin/fossil # path to fossil executable
Running
fossil-director /path/to/config.ini
