warning: lighttpd only or both?
Is your warning at the bottom (you don't know how secure it is) only about
lighttpd or it's about apache2 configuration as well?
The latter. (Although I don't know why using lighttpd would lead
to any additional security exposure anyway.) --[[Joey]]
I'm asking this because right now I want to setup an httpd solely for the
public use of ikiwiki on a general purpose computer (there are other things
there), and so I need to choose the more secure solution. --Ivan Z.
AFAIU, my main simplest security measure should be running the public
ikiwiki's cgi under a special user, but then: how do I push to the repo
owned by that other user? I see, probably I should setup the public wiki
under the special user (so that it was able to create the cgi-script with
the desired permission), and then give my personal user the required
permissions to make a git-push by, say, creating a special Unix group for
this.
Shouldn't there be a page here which would document a secure public and
multi-user installation of ikiwiki (by "multi-user" I mean writable by a
group of local Unix users)? If there isn't such yet, I started writing it
with this discussion.--Ivan Z.
I see, perhaps a simpler setup would not make use of a Unix group, but
simply allow pushing to the public wiki (kept under a special user) through
git+ssh. --Ivan Z.
Yes, it's certianly possible to configure git (and svn, etc) repositories so that
two users can both push to them. There should be plenty of docs out there
about doing that.
The easiest way though is probably
to add your ssh key to the special user's .ssh/authorized_keys
and push that way. --[[Joey]]
apache2 - run from userdir
Followed instructions but couldn't get it right to run from user dir (running ubuntu jaunty),
Finally got it working once I've sym linked as follow (& restarted apache):
# ln -s ../mods-available/userdir.load .
# ln -s ../mods-available/userdir.conf .
# pwd
/etc/apache2/mods-enabled
