Hint
Take a good look at
Figure 11-3
. Gitweb doesn't provide URLs to clone a re-
pository. You can only browse them with a web interface.
How It Works
You want to serve web pages by the apache daemon on the guest machine. To do it
configure forwarding for port 8080:
config.vm.network :forwarded_port, guest: 80, host: 8080
The second option in
Vagrantfile
, which is:
config.vm.synced_folder "c:\\some\\where\\git-recipes",
"/pub/git"
turns on synchronization of the
git-recipes
directory on the host machine (i.e.,
your Windows system) with
/pub/git
on the guest machine (i.e., virtual Ubuntu sys-
tem).
By default, Gitweb scans the
/var/cache/git
directory for repositories. That's
why you need to change the project root in the
/etc/gitweb.conf
file. We set it to
the directory
git-recipes
on the host operating system. This is why we need to
synchronize
/pub/git
on the guest machine with
git-recipes
on host machine.
Default configuration for apache is stored in
/etc/apache2/sites-avail-
able/default
. That's where you should look to change the configuration of the
web server. You may need it to configure url rewriting rules.
