RhodeCode Features
 
------------------
 

	
 
- Has its own middleware to handle mercurial_ protocol requests. 
 
  Each request can be logged and authenticated.
 
- Runs on threads unlike hgweb. You can make multiple pulls/pushes simultaneous.
 
  Supports http/https and LDAP
 
- Full permissions (private/read/write/admin) and authentication per project. 
 
  One account for web interface and mercurial_ push/pull/clone operations.
 
- Have built in users groups for easier permission management
 
- Repository groups let you group repos and manage them easier.
 
- Users can fork other users repo. RhodeCode have also compare view to see
 
  combined changeset for all changeset made within single push.
 
- Build in commit-api let's you add, edit and commit files right from RhodeCode
 
  interface using simple editor or upload form for binaries.
 
- Mako templates let's you customize the look and feel of the application.
 
- Beautiful diffs, annotations and source code browsing all colored by pygments. 
 
  Raw diffs are made in git-diff format, including git_ binary-patches
 
- Mercurial_ branch graph and yui-flot powered graphs with zooming and statistics
 
- Admin interface with user/permission management. Admin activity journal, logs
 
  pulls, pushes, forks, registrations and other actions made by all users.
 
- Server side forks. It is possible to fork a project and modify it freely 
 
  without breaking the main repository. You can even write Your own hooks 
 
  and install them
 
- code review with notification system, inline commenting, all parsed using
 
  rst syntax
 
- rst and markdown README support for repositories  
 
- Full text search powered by Whoosh on the source files, and file names.
 
  Build in indexing daemons, with optional incremental index build
 
  (no external search servers required all in one application)
 
- Setup project descriptions and info inside built in db for easy, non 
 
  file-system operations
 
- Intelligent cache with invalidation after push or project change, provides 
 
  high performance and always up to date data.
 
- Rss / atom feeds, gravatar support, download sources as zip/tar/gz
 
- Optional async tasks for speed and performance using celery_  
 
- Backup scripts can do backup of whole app and send it over scp to desired 
 
  location 
 
- Based on pylons / sqlalchemy / sqlite / whoosh / vcs
 

	
 
    
 
Incoming / Plans
 
----------------
 

	
 
- Finer granular permissions per branch, repo group or subrepo
 
- pull requests and web based merges
 
- per line file history
 
- SSH based authentication with server side key management
 
- Commit based built in wiki system
 
- More statistics and graph (global annotation + some more statistics)
 
- Other advancements as development continues (or you can of course make 
 
  additions and or requests)

Apache as subdirectory
 
----------------------
 

	
 
Apache subdirectory part::
 

	
 
    <Location /<someprefix> >
 
      ProxyPass http://127.0.0.1:5000/<someprefix>
 
      ProxyPassReverse http://127.0.0.1:5000/<someprefix>
 
      SetEnvIf X-Url-Scheme https HTTPS=1
 
    </Location> 
 

	
 
Besides the regular apache setup you will need to add the following line
 
into [app:main] section of your .ini file::
 

	
 
    filter-with = proxy-prefix
 

	
 
Add the following at the end of the .ini file::
 

	
 
    [filter:proxy-prefix]
 
    use = egg:PasteDeploy#prefix
 
    prefix = /<someprefix> 
 

	
 

	
 
then change <someprefix> into your choosen prefix
 

	
 
Apache's WSGI config
 
--------------------
 

	
 
Alternatively, RhodeCode can be set up with Apache under mod_wsgi. For
 
that, you'll need to:
 

	
 
- Install mod_wsgi. If using a Debian-based distro, you can install
 
  the package libapache2-mod-wsgi::
 

	
 
    aptitude install libapache2-mod-wsgi
 

	
 
- Enable mod_wsgi::
 

	
 
    a2enmod wsgi
 

	
 
- Create a wsgi dispatch script, like the one below. Make sure you
 
  check the paths correctly point to where you installed RhodeCode
 
  and its Python Virtual Environment.
 
- Enable the WSGIScriptAlias directive for the wsgi dispatch script,
 
  as in the following example. Once again, check the paths are
 
  correctly specified.
 

	
 
Here is a sample excerpt from an Apache Virtual Host configuration file::
 

	
 
    WSGIDaemonProcess pylons user=www-data group=www-data processes=1 \
 
        threads=4 \
 
        python-path=/home/web/rhodecode/pyenv/lib/python2.6/site-packages
 
    WSGIScriptAlias / /home/web/rhodecode/dispatch.wsgi
 
    WSGIPassAuthorization On
 

	
 
Example wsgi dispatch script::
 

	
 
    import os
 
    os.environ["HGENCODING"] = "UTF-8"
 
    os.environ['PYTHON_EGG_CACHE'] = '/home/web/rhodecode/.egg-cache'
 
    
 
    # sometimes it's needed to set the curent dir
 
    os.chdir('/home/web/rhodecode/') 
 

	
 
    import site
 
    site.addsitedir("/home/web/rhodecode/pyenv/lib/python2.6/site-packages")
 
    
 
    from paste.deploy import loadapp
 
    from paste.script.util.logging_config import fileConfig
 

	
 
    fileConfig('/home/web/rhodecode/production.ini')
 
    application = loadapp('config:/home/web/rhodecode/production.ini')
 

	
 
Note: when using mod_wsgi you'll need to install the same version of
 
Mercurial that's inside RhodeCode's virtualenv also on the system's Python
 
environment.
 

	
 

	
 
Other configuration files
 
-------------------------
 

	
 
Some example init.d scripts can be found here, for debian and gentoo:
 

	
 
https://rhodecode.org/rhodecode/files/tip/init.d
 

	
 

	
 
Troubleshooting
 
---------------
 

	
 
:Q: **Missing static files?**
 
:A: Make sure either to set the `static_files = true` in the .ini file or
 
   double check the root path for your http setup. It should point to 
 
   for example:
 
   /home/my-virtual-python/lib/python2.6/site-packages/rhodecode/public
 
   
 
| 
 

	
 
:Q: **Can't install celery/rabbitmq**
 
:A: Don't worry RhodeCode works without them too. No extra setup is required.
 
Some example init.d scripts can be found in init.d directory::
 

	
 
|
 
 
 
:Q: **Long lasting push timeouts?**
 
:A: Make sure you set a longer timeouts in your proxy/fcgi settings, timeouts
 
    are caused by https server and not RhodeCode.
 
    
 
| 
 

	
 
:Q: **Large pushes timeouts?**
 
:A: Make sure you set a proper max_body_size for the http server.
 

	
 
|
 

	
 
:Q: **Apache doesn't pass basicAuth on pull/push?**
 
:A: Make sure you added `WSGIPassAuthorization true`.

Troubleshooting
 
===============
 

	
 
:Q: **Missing static files?**
 
:A: Make sure either to set the `static_files = true` in the .ini file or
 
   double check the root path for your http setup. It should point to 
 
   for example:
 
   /home/my-virtual-python/lib/python2.6/site-packages/rhodecode/public

:Q: **Can't install celery/rabbitmq?**
 
:A: Don't worry RhodeCode works without them too. No extra setup is required.
 
    Try out great celery docs for further help.
 

	
 
|
 
 
 
:Q: **Long lasting push timeouts?**
 
:A: Make sure you set a longer timeouts in your proxy/fcgi settings, timeouts
 
    are caused by https server and not RhodeCode.
 
    
 
| 
 

	
 
:Q: **Large pushes timeouts?**
 
:A: Make sure you set a proper max_body_size for the http server. Very often
 
    Apache, Nginx or other http servers kill the connection due to to large
 
    body.
 

	
 
|
 

	
 
:Q: **Apache doesn't pass basicAuth on pull/push?**
 
:A: Make sure you added `WSGIPassAuthorization true`.
 

	
 
|
 

	
 
:Q: **Git fails on push/pull?**
 
:A: Make sure you're using an wsgi http server that can handle chunked encoding
 
    such as `waitress` or `gunicorn`
 

	
 
|
 

	
 
:Q: **How i use hooks in RhodeCode?**
 
:A: It's easy if they are python hooks just use advanced link in hooks section
 
    in Admin panel, that works only for Mercurial. If you want to use githooks,
 
    just install proper one in repository eg. create file in 
 
    `/gitrepo/hooks/pre-receive`. You can also use RhodeCode-extensions to
 
    connect to callback hooks, for both Git and Mercurial.
 

	
 
|
 

	
 
:Q: **RhodeCode is slow for me, how can i make it faster?**
 
:A: See the :ref:`performance` section
