.Sh NAME
.Nm gotwebd
.Nd Game of Trees FastCGI server for web browsers
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm
.Op Fl dnv
.Op Fl D Ar macro Ns = Ns Ar value
.Op Fl f Ar file
.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Nm
is a FastCGI server program which can display the contents of Git
repositories via a web browser.
The program has been designed to work out of the box with
the
.Xr httpd 8
web server.
.Pp
.Nm
provides the following options:
.Bl -tag -width tenletters
.It Fl D Ar macro Ns = Ns Ar value
Define
.Ar macro
to be set to
.Ar value .
Overrides the definition of
.Ar macro
in the configuration file.
.It Fl d
Do not daemonize.
Send log output to stderr.
.It Fl f Ar file
Set the path to the configuration file.
If not specified, the file
.Pa /etc/gotwebd.conf
will be used.
.It Fl n
Parse the configuration file, report errors if any, and exit.
.It Fl v
Verbose mode.
Verbosity increases if this option is used multiple times.
.El
.Pp
Enabling
.Nm
requires the following steps:
.Bl -enum
.It
The
.Xr httpd.conf 5
configuration file must be adjusted to run
.Nm
as a FastCGI helper program.
The
.Sx EXAMPLES
section below contains an appropriate configuration file sample.
.It
httpd(8) must be enabled and started:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
  # rcctl enable httpd
  # rcctl start httpd
.Ed
.It
Optionally, the run-time behaviour of
.Nm
can be configured via the
.Xr gotwebd.conf 5
configuration file.
.It
Git repositories must be created.
These repositories may reside anywhere in the filesystem and must
be readable, but should
.Em not
be writable, by the user
.Nm
runs as.
The default location for repositories published by
.Nm
is
.Pa /var/www/got/public .
.It
If the Git repositories served by
.Nm
do not receive changes from committers directly, they need to be kept
up-to-date with a mechanism such as
.Cm got fetch ,
.Xr git-fetch 1 ,
or
.Xr rsync 1 ,
scheduled by
.Xr cron 8 .
.El
.Sh FILES
.Bl -tag -width /var/www/got/public/ -compact
.It Pa /etc/gotwebd.conf
Default location of the
.Xr gotwebd.conf 5
configuration file.
.It Pa /var/www/got/public/
Default location for Git repositories served by
.Nm .
This location can be adjusted in the
.Xr gotwebd.conf 5
configuration file.
.It Pa /var/www/bin/gotwebd/
Directory containing statically linked
.Xr got 1
helper programs which are run by
.Nm
to read Git repositories.
.It Pa /var/www/htdocs/gotwebd/
Directory containing HTML, CSS, and image files used by
.Nm .
.It Pa /var/www/run/gotweb.sock
Default location for the
.Nm
listening socket.
.It Pa /tmp/
Directory for temporary files created by
.Nm .
.El
.Sh EXAMPLES
Example configuration for
.Xr httpd.conf 5 :
.Bd -literal -offset indent
types { include "/usr/share/misc/mime.types" }

server "example.com" {
	listen on * port 80
	root "/htdocs/gotwebd"
	location "/" {
		fastcgi socket "/run/gotweb.sock"
	}
}
.Ed
.Pp
Hosting multiple
.Nm gotwebd
instances on the same HTTP server under different path prefixes, with
the first reached via the default
.Ux Ns -domain socket, the second configured to listen on localhost
port 9000:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
server "example.com" {
	listen on * port 80

	location "/gotwebd-unix/" {
		fastcgi socket "/run/gotweb.sock"
	}
	location "/gotwebd-unix/*" {
		root "/htdocs/gotwebd"
		request strip 1
	}

	location "/gotwebd-tcp/" {
		fastcgi socket tcp localhost 9000
	}
	location "/gotwebd-tcp/*" {
		root "/htdocs/gotwebd"
		request strip 1
	}
}
