. Upgrades with the standard tools of the distributions
. Very little dependencies, all packaged in main-stream distributions
. SELinux friendly
. Very small (RPM is around 300KiB)
. IPv6 ready
. Internationalization ready


== Install ==
. Notes:
	- It is recommended to NOT install rocketgit on a multiuser machine.
	There are some things that should be fixed first. We are working on it.

. Edit /etc/rocketgit/config.php
. Edit /etc/httpd/conf.d/rocketgit.conf

. PHP
	Adjust php.ini to:
		- allow enough RAM and execution time
		- fix timezone
	You may want to activate an op cache to speed up the PHP scripts:
		yum install php-opcache
	Also, we recommend to activate opcache also for cli:
	change opcache.enable_cli to 1 in /etc/php.d/10-opcache.ini or
	/etc/php-zts.d/10-opcache.ini.

. Activate web server
	systemd based distributions:
		# systemctl enable httpd.service
		# systemctl restart httpd.service
	RedHat/CentOS/Oracle
		# chkconfig httpd on
		# service httpd restart

. Activate sshd (for ssh:// access)
	systemd based distributions:
		# systemctl enable sshd.service
		# systemctl start sshd.service
	RedHat/CentOS/Oracle
		# chkconfig sshd on
		# service sshd restart

. Activate xinetd (for git:// access)
	systemd based distributions:
		# systemctl enable xinetd.service
		# systemctl start xinetd.service
	RedHat/CentOS/Oracle
		# chkconfig xinetd on
		# service xinetd restart

. Configure PostgreSQL server
	Fedora:
		# systemctl enable postgresql.service
		# export PGSETUP_INITDB_OPTIONS="--data-checksums" # recommended
		# postgresql-setup --initdb # (TAKE CARE! YOU MAY DESTROY ALL YOUR DATA!)
		# systemctl start postgresql.service
	RedHat/CentOS/Oracle
		# chkconfig postgresql on
		# service postgresql initdb
		# service postgresql start

. Create a PostgreSQL user and database
	# su - postgres
	$ createuser --createdb --no-createrole --no-superuser rocketgit
	$ createdb -O rocketgit rocketgit

. Allow access to PostgreSQL and restart:
	Add the following lines, before wildcard matches, in
	/var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_hba.conf:
	local	rocketgit	rocketgit			trust
	host 	rocketgit	rocketgit	127.0.0.1/32	trust
	host 	rocketgit	rocketgit	::1/128		trust

	systemd based distributions:
		# systemctl reload postgresql.service
	RedHat/CentOS/Oracle
		# service postgresql reload

	Notes:
	- Check also the config file (/etc/rocketgit/config.php) and set
	correctly the rg_sql string.
	- If the web server and the db are not on the same host, you need to
	replace 127.0.0.1 and ::1 with your "safe network". You may want to use
	md5 for authentication. Also, you may want to change 'listen_addresses'
	to '*'. You may also want to activate SSL. Check PostgreSQL manual.

. Mail
	To be able to generate e-mails as other user, you have to:
	For sendmail:
		- Enable daemon:
			systemd based distributions: systemctl enable sendmail.service
			RedHat/CentOS/Oracle: chkconfig sendmail on
		- Edit /etc/mail/trusted-users and add 'rocketgit' and 'apache'.
		- Restart daemon:
			systemd based distributions: systemctl restart sendmail.service
			RedHat/CentOS/Oracle: service sendmail restart

. Edit firewall to permit ssh, git, http and https ports
	In /etc/sysconfig/iptables (IPv4) and ip6tables (IPv6), add something
	like this:
	-A INPUT -m tcp -p tcp --dport ssh -j ACCEPT
	-A INPUT -m tcp -p tcp --dport git -j ACCEPT
	-A INPUT -m tcp -p tcp --dport http -j ACCEPT
	-A INPUT -m tcp -p tcp --dport https -j ACCEPT

. Point your browser to the newly created server and you will be asked to
	create the admin account.

. You may want to install 'qrencode' package to be able to be able to see the
	two factor authentication keys as QR images.
