Well, CGI in httpd/inetd is going to run Fossil for every request. In the
meantime, Fossil in server mode does a fork for every request too, but it *does
not do exec*. So it can be more performant to just proxy to a `fl server`
instance. Plus, this way you don't have to make your repositories readable by
httpd process.
To answer the original question:
You start your fossil server on a given port, preferably by means of cron.
Then, in your vhost configuration you just put:
location @fossil {
proxy_pass http://localhost:MY_CHOSEN_PORT;
}
And anchor it appropriately. That simple.
Kind regards,
