| NAME |
| ---- |
| daemon - Git enabled SSH daemon |
| |
| SYNOPSIS |
| -------- |
| [verse] |
| 'java' -DGerritServer=PATH -jar gerrit.war 'daemon' [\--slave] |
| |
| DESCRIPTION |
| ----------- |
| Runs the Gerrit SSH 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 |
| ------- |
| |
| -DGerritServer=PATH:: |
| Path of the GerritServer.properties file, which describes |
| how to connect to the database. To obtain a template of this |
| file get it from the WAR: |
| + |
| ==== |
| java -jar gerrit.war \--cat extra/GerritServer.properties_example >GerritServer.properties |
| ==== |
| |
| \--slave:: |
| Run in slave mode, permitting only read operations |
| by clients. Commands which modify state such as |
| link:cmd-receive-pack.html[recieve-pack] (creates new changes |
| or updates existing ones) or link:cmd-approve.html[approve] |
| (sets approve marks) are disabled. |
| |
| 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. |
| |
| 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| Slave daemon caches can quickly become out of date when modifications |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. |
