| NAME |
| ---- |
| daemon - Gerrit network server |
| |
| SYNOPSIS |
| -------- |
| -- |
| 'java' -jar gerrit.war 'daemon' |
| -d <SITE_PATH> |
| [--enable-httpd | --disable-httpd] |
| [--enable-sshd | --disable-sshd] |
| [--console-log] |
| [--slave] |
| [--headless] |
| [--init] |
| [-s] |
| -- |
| |
| DESCRIPTION |
| ----------- |
| Runs the Gerrit network daemon on the local system, configured as |
| per the local copy of link:config-gerrit.html[gerrit.config]. |
| |
| The path to gerrit.config is read from the metadata database, |
| which requires that all slaves (and master) reading from the same |
| database must place gerrit.config at the same location on the local |
| filesystem. However, any option within gerrit.config, including |
| link:config-gerrit.html#gerrit.basePath[gerrit.basePath] may be set |
| to different values. |
| |
| OPTIONS |
| ------- |
| |
| -d:: |
| --site-path:: |
| Location of the gerrit.config file, and all other per-site |
| configuration data, supporting libraries and log files. |
| |
| --enable-httpd:: |
| --disable-httpd:: |
| Enable (or disable) the internal HTTP daemon, answering |
| web requests. Enabled by default. |
| |
| --enable-sshd:: |
| --disable-sshd:: |
| Enable (or disable) the internal SSH daemon, answering SSH |
| clients and remotely executed commands. Enabled by default. |
| |
| --slave:: |
| Run in slave mode, permitting only read operations |
| by clients. Commands which modify state such as |
| link:cmd-receive-pack.html[receive-pack] (creates new changes |
| or updates existing ones) or link:cmd-review.html[review] |
| (sets approve marks) are disabled. |
| + |
| This option automatically implies '--disable-httpd --enable-sshd'. |
| |
| --console-log:: |
| Send log messages to the console, instead of to the standard |
| log file '$site_path/logs/error_log'. |
| |
| --headless:: |
| Don't start the default Gerrit UI. May be useful when Gerrit is |
| run with an alternative UI. |
| |
| --init:: |
| Run init before starting the daemon. This will create a new site or |
| upgrade an existing site. |
| |
| --s:: |
| Start link:dev-inspector.html[Gerrit Inspector] on the console, a |
| built-in interactive inspection environment to assist debugging and |
| troubleshooting of Gerrit code. |
| + |
| This options requires 'jython.jar' from the http://www.jython.org[Jython distribution] |
| to be present in '$site_path/lib' directory. |
| |
| CONTEXT |
| ------- |
| This command can only be run on a server which has direct |
| connectivity to the metadata database, and local access to the |
| managed Git repositories. |
| |
| LOGGING |
| ------- |
| Error and warning messages from the server are automatically written |
| to the log file under '$site_path/logs/error_log'. This log file |
| is automatically rotated at 12:00 AM GMT each day, allowing an |
| external log cleaning service to clean up the prior logs. |
| |
| KNOWN ISSUES |
| ------------ |
| Slave daemon caches can quickly become out of date when modifications |
| are made on the master. The following configuration is suggested in |
| a slave to reduce the maxAge for each cache entry, so that changes |
| are recognized in a reasonable period of time: |
| |
| ---- |
| [cache "accounts"] |
| maxAge = 5 min |
| [cache "accounts_byemail"] |
| maxAge = 5 min |
| [cache "diff"] |
| maxAge = 5 min |
| [cache "groups"] |
| maxAge = 5 min |
| [cache "projects"] |
| maxAge = 5 min |
| [cache "sshkeys"] |
| maxAge = 5 min |
| ---- |
| |
| and if LDAP support was enabled, also include: |
| ---- |
| [cache "ldap_groups"] |
| maxAge = 5 min |
| [cache "ldap_usernames"] |
| maxAge = 5 min |
| ---- |
| |
| Automatic cache coherency between master and slave systems is |
| planned to be implemented in a future version. |
