# GitList Installation
* Download GitList from [https://github.com/patrikx3/gitlist/releases](https://github.com/patrikx3/gitlist/releases/) and decompress to your `/var/www/gitlist` folder, or anywhere else you want to place GitList.
* Rename the `config.example.ini-example` file to `config.ini`.
* Open up the `config.ini` and configure your installation. You'll have to provide where your repositories are located and the base GitList URL.
* Create the cache folder and give read/write permissions to your web server user:
```bash
cd /var/www/gitlist
mkdir -p cache
chmod 777 cache
```
That's it, installation complete!
## Webserver configuration
Apache is the "default" webserver for GitList. You will find the configuration inside the `.htaccess` file. However, nginx and lighttpd are also supported.
To make it to be more secure:
All `PHP` files will be in the `root` and only `index.php`, `images`, `icons`, `svg`, `css`, `js`bundle files will be in the `public` subdir.
### nginx server.conf
```conf
server {
server_name MYSERVER;
access_log /var/log/nginx/MYSERVER.access.log combined;
error_log /var/log/nginx/MYSERVER.error.log error;
root /var/www/DIR/public;
index index.php;
# auth_basic "Restricted";
# auth_basic_user_file .htpasswd;
location = /robots.txt {
allow all;
log_not_found off;
access_log off;
}
location ~* ^/index.php.*$ {
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
# if you're using php7.2-fpm via socket
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php7.2-fpm.sock;
include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
fastcgi_pass $php_listener;
}
location ~ /\.ht {
deny all;
}
location ~* \.(js|css|png|jpg|jpeg|gif|ico)$ {
add_header Vary "Accept-Encoding";
expires max;
try_files $uri @gitlist;
tcp_nodelay off;
tcp_nopush on;
}
# location ~* \.(git|svn|patch|htaccess|log|route|plist|inc|json|pl|po|sh|ini|sample|kdev4)$ {
# deny all;
# }
}
```
### lighthttpd
I do not use `lighthttpd`, but you know what I mean. Make sure only, the `gitlist/public` folder should be enabled.
```txt
# GitList is located in /var/www/gitlist/
server.document-root = "/var/www"
url.rewrite-once = (
"^/gitlist/web/.+" => "$0",
"^/gitlist/favicon\.ico$" => "$0",
"^/gitlist(/[^\?]*)(\?.*)?" => "/gitlist/index.php$1$2"
)
```
### hiawatha
I do not use `hiawatha`, but you know what I mean. Make sure only, the `gitlist/public` folder should be enabled.
```txt
UrlToolkit {
ToolkitID = gitlist
RequestURI isfile Return
# If you have example.com/gitlist/ ; Otherwise remove "/gitlist" below
Match ^/gitlist/.* Rewrite /gitlist/index.php
Match ^/gitlist/.*\.ini DenyAccess
}
```
