Hi Jon,
I went through the process of setting up fossil behind NGINX the same
way your looking for, where you can specify the repository depending on
the url. At first I tried the proxy method with xinetd, but had to play
with path's of the actual repositories before it would work.
The solution I went with was to use scgi with configuration similar to
the following:
In /etc/nginx.conf
location ~ ^/fossil(.*)$ {
fastcgi_pass unix:/run/fcgiwrap.sock;
include fossil_fcgi_params;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_NAME "/fossil";
}
In fossil_fcgi_params
fastcgi_param QUERY_STRING $query_string;
fastcgi_param REQUEST_METHOD $request_method;
fastcgi_param CONTENT_TYPE $content_type;
fastcgi_param CONTENT_LENGTH $content_length;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_NAME $fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_param REQUEST_URI $request_uri;
fastcgi_param DOCUMENT_URI $document_uri;
fastcgi_param DOCUMENT_ROOT $document_root;
fastcgi_param SERVER_PROTOCOL $server_protocol;
fastcgi_param GATEWAY_INTERFACE CGI/1.1;
fastcgi_param SERVER_SOFTWARE nginx;
fastcgi_param REMOTE_ADDR $remote_addr;
fastcgi_param REMOTE_PORT $remote_port;
fastcgi_param SERVER_ADDR $server_addr;
fastcgi_param SERVER_PORT $server_port;
fastcgi_param SERVER_NAME $server_name;
fastcgi_param REMOTE_USER $remote_user;
And the cgi script as
#!/usr/bin/fossil
directory: /srv/fossil/
notfound: http://localhost/invalid.html
Where /srv/fossil is where I keep the .fossil files.
