|
| 30 | ## Using |
| 31 |
|
| 32 | 1. Copy this directory with its scripts to a place OpenResty/nginx workers have |
| 33 | access, such as `/srv/[SITE]/resty-gitweb`. (In reality it doesn't matter |
| 34 | where, as long as it's accessible.) |
| 35 |
|
| 36 | 2. Copy your config file (`resty-gitweb.yaml`) to |
| 37 | `/etc/[SITE]/resty-gitweb.yaml` (or somewhere else) |
| 38 |
|
| 39 | 3. Add the following near the top (`main` context, outside of any blocks) of |
| 40 | your OpenResty/nginx configuration file: |
| 41 |
|
| 42 | ``` |
| 43 | # resty-gitweb configuration |
| 44 | env RESTY_GITWEB; # Script won't run without this |
| 45 | env RESTY_GITWEB_ENV=PROD; # PROD for Production, DEV for Development. DEV by default. |
| 46 | env RESTY_GITWEB_CONFIG=/etc/[SITE]/resty-gitweb.yaml; # Wherever you put your configuration file |
| 47 | ``` |
| 48 |
|
| 49 | 4. Add the following to the `http` block in your OpenResty/nginx configuration |
| 50 | file: |
| 51 |
|
| 52 | ``` |
| 53 | lua_package_path ";;/srv/[SITE]/resty-gitweb/?.lua"; # Add resty-gitweb to your Lua package path |
| 54 | init_by_lua_file /srv/[SITE]/resty-gitweb/init.lua; # Initialize modules for nginx workers |
| 55 | ``` |
| 56 |
|
| 57 | 5. And in whichever `location` block you wish to serve content: |
| 58 |
|
| 59 | ``` |
| 60 | content_by_lua_file /srv/[SITE]/resty-gitweb/app.lua; |
| 61 | ``` |
| 62 |
|
| 63 | 6. Restart OpenResty/nginx |
| 64 |
|
| 65 | Note that I use "OpenResty/nginx" instead of just OpenResty; if you desire, you |
| 66 | can actually use nginx with only a few OpenResty components. These are the only |
| 67 | OpenResty components you actually need to |
| 68 | [compile](https://www.nginx.com/resources/wiki/extending/compiling/) to use |
| 69 | this package: |
| 70 |
|
| 71 | * [lua-nginx-module](https://github.com/openresty/lua-nginx-module) |
| 72 | * [lua-resty-core](https://github.com/openresty/lua-resty-core) |
| 73 | * [lua-resty-shell](https://github.com/openresty/lua-resty-shell) |
| 74 |
|
| 75 | Optionally, you can build these with OpenResty's |
| 76 | [branch](https://github.com/openresty/luajit2) of LuaJIT 2 instead of the |
| 77 | original. |
