Self Hosting Git

Monday, January 30, 2023 4:23pm

Something that I've wanted to do for a while now is self host my code projects and have them visible through a GitHub-like interface. I used this guide to set up the basic Git HTTP interface along with the GitWeb script for displaying the repos in a browser. You can view my projects at: http://ericdwertz.com/git

I hacked around with GitWeb's default stylesheet so that it would match the styling of the rest of this site. I also added a snippet of code I found here that displays README.md files when viewing a repo.

Right now I have the code that controls the fans on my thin-client server (the machine that served you this page) uploaded. I also moved over all the old repos I had hosted on GitHub.

About a month ago I finally ordered the 5TB drives I had been eyeing as part of the storage upgrade for my thin client server.

It's going to involve cutting down the main heatsink as well as installing some 40mm fans with a custom controller to keep everything quiet when the server is not in use.

Here are the drives: 2.5 inch 5TB drives from Seagate. They are thicker than normal laptop HDD's
