Mention explicitly that general regex aren't supported The general regex were neither explicitly allowed nor forbidden; add a specific note in the documentation and checks in the code and tests for making sure that the only general regex allowed is ^.* Change-Id: I61d51430e5586f805a4f7691ac6c865e0afc78b8
Gerrit lib module to split the projects' space into virtual hosts similarly of what you would do with an HTTP Server and different domain names.
Build this module as it was a Gerrit plugin:
virtualhost directory to Gerrit /plugins/virtualhostbazel build plugins/virtualhostvirtualhost.jar module is generated under /bazel-genfiles/plugins/virtualhost/Copy virtualhost.jar library to Gerrit /lib and add the following two extra settings to gerrit.config:
[gerrit] installModule = com.gerritforge.gerrit.modules.virtualhost.GuiceModule [httpd] filterClass = com.gerritforge.gerrit.modules.virtualhost.VirtualHostFilter
X-Forwarded-Host Header:When Gerrit is hidden behind multiple service layers (eg. reverse-proxy and load balancer), it is essential to ensure the propagation from the upstream proxy of the header X-Forwarded-Host from the upstream proxy.
/etc/virtualhost.config contains the definition of the virtual hosts and the set of projects included.
Each server section defines a virtual host and contains a set of projects included. Projects are defined using Gerrit ref-matching expressions and can be repeated multiple times to include multiple matchers.
Example to include all the projects starting with team1/ and the ones starting with the username:
[server "team1.mycompany.com"]
projects = team1/*
projects = ${username}/*
For all the other server names that are not defined and for SSH access, there is a special default section that lists of visible projects.
Example to include all the projects by default:
[default] projects = ^.*
NOTE: The
^.*is the only regular expression supported by the virtualhost module because of the potential performance implication of a generic regular expression evaluation during the ACLs. Bear in mind that any possible action perform in Gerrit will go through the virtualhost module filtering and therefore it is paramount to minimize the potential performance impact.
