Call something like this from a crontab:

 $ wget -O /var/www/html/dl/my-project.zip http://localhost:8080/zip

Then in the HTML:

 Download


I want share only the "code part" without the wiki or the issues.


Fossil-produced zip files and tarballs leave that out.

The main downside is that you don’t get delta downloads.  The user would have 
to download the whole thing all over again.


without the cgi.


CGI isn’t necessarily required to run a Fossil web server.  I understand that some 
web hosts don’t allow easy access to CGI for security reasons, but you might still 
be able to run a Fossil instance there with “fossil server” and use its HTTP 
server, possibly on a nonstandard port >= 1024.  Then point the static pages to 
the Fossil instance:

 http://server-name:8080/zip/my-project.zip?uuid=trunk”>Download

You do unfortunately have to give an absolute URL here: HTML doesn’t allow you 
to say “same server but different port,” on purpose, presumably for some 
security reason.

The default permissions on Fossil allow anonymous users to download zip files 
and tarballs.

Or, you could just expose the Fossil server publicly but deny anonymous users 
the ability to read tickets an the wiki.  Then you get delta syncing and all 
the other Fossil goodness.


Thanks guys for the help.

In short, no. To be able to clone, fossil needs a server process of some
sort, which means either CGI or a the built-in standalone http server. It
can use SSH, but that uses fossil's built-in server to do the real work.

PS: the db does not store raw user passwords, but does store hashes of
those passwords.

[fossil-users] How to share a fossil repo using static http (without the cgi)?

2017-12-12 Thread Juan Francisco Cantero Hurtado 

Something like:

https://git-scm.com/book/en/v1/Git-Internals-Transfer-Protocols#The-Dumb-Protocol

https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/StaticHTTP

IIUC, the .fossil files include the users passwords and I don't know if 
those include more private info. So, I can't just share directly the file.


Let me give you an example, so it's more clear. I want share a fossil 
repo using a static http server, without the cgi. And I want share only 
the "code part" without the wiki or the issues. The user could clone the 
repo and pull regularly the changes. Can I do something like that with 
fossil?.


Cheers.
