+#+title: Self-Hosting Gitweb via Nginx
+#+description: 
+
+
+* Overview
+
+[[https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-on-the-Server-GitWeb][GitWeb]] is a
+simple web-based visualizer for git repositories. By default, GitWeb
+will only run with the =lighttpd= or =webrick= web servers.
+
+However, this guide will show you how to keep GitWeb running in the
+background and display information for all repositories in a chosen
+directory.
+
+* Install Dependencies
+
+To start, you'll need install the following packages:
+
+#+begin_src sh
+sudo apt install git gitweb fcgiwrap nginx
+#+end_src
+
+* Configure Nginx
+
+Once installed, create an Nginx configuration file.
+
+#+begin_src sh
+sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/git.example.com
+#+end_src
+
+#+begin_src conf
+server {
+        listen 80;
+        server_name example.com;
+
+        location /index.cgi {
+                root /usr/share/gitweb/;
+                include fastcgi_params;
+                gzip off;
+                fastcgi_param SCRIPT_NAME $uri;
+                fastcgi_param GITWEB_CONFIG /etc/gitweb.conf;
+                fastcgi_pass  unix:/var/run/fcgiwrap.socket;
+        }
+
+        location / {
+                root /usr/share/gitweb/;
+                index index.cgi;
+        }
+}
+#+end_src
+
+To make the configuration active, you need to symlink it and then
+restart Nginx.
+
+#+begin_src sh
+sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/git.example.com /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/git.example.com
+sudo systemctl restart nginx.service
+#+end_src
+
+The GitWeb application should now be available via the URL you set in
+the Nginx configuration above.
+
+* Customize GitWeb
+
+If you need to, you can customize many things about Gitweb by editing
+the [[https://git-scm.com/docs/gitweb.conf][gitweb.conf]] file.
+
+#+begin_src sh
+sudo nano /etc/gitweb.conf
+#+end_src
