Configuration

Pagure offers a wide varieties of options that must or can be used to adjust its behavior.

Must options

Here are the options you must set up in order to get pagure running.

SECRET_KEY

This configuration key is used by flask to create the session. It should be kept secret and set as a long and random string.

SALT_EMAIL

This configuration key is used to ensure that when sending notifications to different users, each one of them has a different, unique and unfakeable Reply-To header. This header is then used by the milter to find out if the response received is a real one or a fake/invalid one.

DB_URL

This configuration key indicates to the framework how and where to connect to the database server. Pagure uses SQLAchemy to connect to a wide range of database server including MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQLite.

Examples values:

DB_URL = 'mysql://user:pass@host/db_name'
DB_URL = 'postgres://user:pass@host/db_name'
DB_URL = 'sqlite:////var/tmp/pagure_dev.sqlite'

Defaults to sqlite:////var/tmp/pagure_dev.sqlite

APP_URL

This configuration key indicates the URL at which this pagure instance will be made available.

Defaults to: http://localhost.localdomain/

EMAIL_ERROR

Pagure sends email when it catches an unexpected error (which saves you from having to monitor the logs regularly; but if you like, the error is still present in the logs). This configuration key allows you to specify to which email address to send these error reports.

GIT_URL_SSH

This configuration key provides the information to the user on how to clone the git repos hosted on pagure via SSH.

The URL should end with a slash /.

Defaults to: 'ssh://git@llocalhost.localdomain/'

Note

If you are using a custom setup for your deployment where every user has an account on the machine you may want to tweak this URL to include the username. If that is the case, you can use {username} in the URL and it will be expanded to the username of the user viewing the page when rendered. For example: 'ssh://{username}@pagure.org/'

GIT_URL_GIT

This configuration key provides the information to the user on how to clone the git repos hosted on pagure anonymously. This access can be granted via the git:// or http(s):// protocols.

The URL should end with a slash /.

Defaults to: 'git://localhost.localdomain/'

BROKER_URL

This configuration key is used to point celery to the broker to use. This is the broker that is used to communicate between the web application and its workers.

Defaults to: 'redis://%s' % APP.config['REDIS_HOST']

Note

See the Redis options for the REDIS_HOST configuration key

Repo Directories

Each project in pagure has 2 to 4 git repositories, depending on configuration of the Pagure instance (see below):

• the main repo for the code

• the doc repo showed in the doc server (optional)

• the ticket repo storing the metadata of the tickets (optional)

• the request repo storing the metadata of the pull-requests

There are then another 3 folders: one for specifying the locations of the forks, one for the remote git repo used for the remotes pull-requests (ie: those coming from a project not hosted on this instance of pagure), and one for user-uploaded tarballs.

GIT_FOLDER

This configuration key points to the folder where the git repos are stored. For every project, two to four repos are created:

• a repo with source code of the project

• a repo with documentation of the project (if ENABLE_DOCS is True)

• a repo with metadata of tickets opened against the project (if ENABLE_TICKETS is True)

• a repo with metadata of pull requests opened against the project

Note that gitolite config value GL_REPO_BASE (if using gitolite 3) or $REPO_BASE (if using gitolite 2) must have exactly the same value as GIT_FOLDER.

REMOTE_GIT_FOLDER

This configuration key points to the folder where the remote git repos (ie: not hosted on pagure) that someone used to open a pull-request against a project hosted on pagure are stored.

UPLOAD_FOLDER_PATH

This configuration key points to the folder where user-uploaded tarballs are stored and served from.

ATTACHMENTS_FOLDER

This configuration key points to the folder where attachments can be cached for easier access by the web-server (allowing to not interact with the git repo having it to serve it).

UPLOAD_FOLDER_URL

Full URL to where the uploads are available. It is highly recommended for security reasons that this URL lives on a different domain than the main application (an entirely different domain, not just a sub-domain).

Defaults to: /releases/, unsafe for production!

Warning

both UPLOAD_FOLDER_PATH and UPLOAD_FOLDER_URL must be specified for the upload release feature to work

SESSION_COOKIE_SECURE

When this is set to True, the session cookie will only be returned to the server via ssl (https). If you connect to the server via plain http, the cookie will not be sent. This prevents sniffing of the cookie contents. This may be set to False when testing your application but should always be set to True in production.

Defaults to: False for development, must be True in production with https.

SESSION_TYPE

Enables the flask-session extension if set to a value other than None. The flask-session package needs to be installed and proper configuration needs to be included in the Pagure config file.

This is useful when the Pagure server needs to be scaled up to multiple instances, which requires the flask session keys to be shared between those. Flask-session allows you to use Redis, Memcached, relational database or MongoDB for storing shared session keys.

FROM_EMAIL

This configuration key specifies the email address used by this pagure instance when sending emails (notifications).

Defaults to: pagure@localhost.localdomain

DOMAIN_EMAIL_NOTIFICATIONS

This configuration key specifies the domain used by this pagure instance when sending emails (notifications). More precisely, it is used when building the msg-id header of the emails sent.

Defaults to: localhost.localdomain

VIRUS_SCAN_ATTACHMENTS

This configuration key configures whether attachments are scanned for viruses on upload. For more information, see the install.rst guide.

Defaults to: False

GIT_AUTH_BACKEND

This configuration key allows specifying which git auth backend to use.

Git auth backends can either be static (like gitolite), where a file is generated when something changed and then used on login, or dynamic, where the actual ACLs are checked in a git hook before being applied.

By default pagure provides the following backends:

• test_auth: simple debugging backend printing and returning the string Called GitAuthTestHelper.generate_acls()

• gitolite2: allows deploying pagure on the top of gitolite 2

• gitolite3: allows deploying pagure on the top of gitolite 3

Defaults to: gitolite3

Note

The option GITOLITE_BACKEND is the legacy name, and for backwards compatibility reasons will override this setting

Note

These options can be expended, cf Customize the gitolite configuration.

Configure Gitolite

Pagure can use gitolite as an authorization layer. Gitolite relies on SSH for the authentication. In other words, SSH lets you in and gitolite checks if you are allowed to do what you are trying to do once you are inside.

Pagure supports both gitolite 2 and gitolite 3 and the code generating the gitolite configuration can be customized for easier integration with other systems (cf Customize the gitolite configuration).

gitolite 2 and 3

GITOLITE_HOME

This configuration key points to the home directory of the user under which gitolite is ran.

GITOLITE_KEYDIR

This configuration key points to the folder where gitolite stores and accesses the public SSH keys of all the user have access to the server.

Since pagure is the user interface, it is pagure that writes down the files in this directory, effectively setting up the users to be able to use gitolite.

GITOLITE_CONFIG

This configuration key points to the gitolite.conf file where pagure writes the gitolite repository access configuration.

GITOLITE_CELERY_QUEUE

This configuration is useful for large pagure deployment where recompiling the gitolite config file can take a long time. By default the compilation of gitolite’s configuration file is done by the pagure_worker, which spawns by default 4 concurrent workers. If it takes a while to recompile the gitolite configuration file, these workers may be stepping on each others’ toes. In this situation, this configuration key allows you to direct the messages asking for the gitolite configuration file to be compiled to a different queue which can then be handled by a different service/worker.

Pagure provides a pagure_gitolite_worker.service systemd service file pre-configured to handles these messages if this configuration key is set to gitolite_queue.

gitolite 2 only

GL_RC

This configuration key points to the file gitolite.rc used by gitolite to record who has access to what (ie: who has access to which repo/branch).

GL_BINDIR

This configuration key indicates the folder in which the gitolite tools can be found. It can be as simple as /usr/bin/ if the tools have been installed using a package manager or something like /opt/bin/ for a more custom install.

gitolite 3 only

GITOLITE_HAS_COMPILE_1

By setting this configuration key to True, you can turn on using the gitolite compile-1 binary. This speeds up gitolite task when it recompiles configuration after new project is created. In order to use this, you need to have the compile-1 gitolite command.

There are two ways to have it,

1. You distribution already has the file installed for you and you can then just use it.

2. You need to download and install it yourself. We are describing what needs to be done for this here below.

Installing the compile-1 command:

• You also have to make sure that your distribution of gitolite contains patch which makes gitolite respect ALLOW_ORPHAN_GL_CONF configuration variable, if this patch isn’t already present, you will have to make the change yourself.

• In your gitolite.rc set ALLOW_ORPHAN_GL_CONF to 1 (you may have to add it yourself).

• Still in your gitolite.rc file, uncomment LOCAL_CODE file and set it to a full path of a directory that you choose (for example /usr/local/share/gitolite3).

• Create a subdirectory commands under the path you picked for LOCAL_CODE (in our example, you will need to do: mkdir -p /usr/local/share/gitolite3/commands)

• Finally, install the compile-1 command in this commands subdirectory If your installation doesn’t ship this file, you can download it. (Ensure the file is executable, otherwise gitolite will not find it)

Defaults to: False

EventSource options

EVENTSOURCE_SOURCE

This configuration key indicates the URL at which the EventSource server is available. If not defined, pagure will behave as if there are no EventSource server running.

EVENTSOURCE_PORT

This configuration key indicates the port at which the EventSource server is running.

Note

The EventSource server requires a redis server (see Redis options below)

Web-hooks notifications

WEBHOOK

This configuration key allows turning on or off web-hooks notifications for this pagure instance.

Defaults to: False.

Note

The Web-hooks server requires a redis server (see Redis options below)

Redis options

REDIS_HOST

This configuration key indicates the host at which the redis server is running.

Defaults to: 0.0.0.0.

REDIS_PORT

This configuration key indicates the port at which the redis server can be contacted.

Defaults to: 6379.

REDIS_DB

This configuration key indicates the name of the redis database to use for communicating with the EventSource server.

Defaults to: 0.

Authentication options

ADMIN_GROUP

List of groups, either local or remote (if the openid server used supports the group extension), that are the site admins. These admins can regenerate the gitolite configuration, the ssh key files, and the hook-token for every project as well as manage users and groups.

PAGURE_ADMIN_USERS

List of local users that are the site admins. These admins have the same rights as the users in the admin groups listed above as well as admin rights to all projects hosted on this pagure instance.

Celery Queue options

In order to help prioritize between tasks having a direct impact on the user experience and tasks needed to be run on the background but not directly impacting the users, we have split the generic tasks triggered by the web application into three possible queues: Fast, Medium, Slow. If none of these options are set, a single queue will be used for all tasks.

FAST_CELERY_QUEUE

This configuration key allows to specify a dedicated queue for tasks that are triggered by the web frontend and need to be processed quickly for the best user experience.

This will be used for tasks such as creating a new project, forking or merging a pull-request.

Defaults to: None.

MEDIUM_CELERY_QUEUE

This configuration key allows to specify a dedicated queue for tasks that are triggered by the web frontend and need to be processed but aren’t critical for the best user experience.

This will be used for tasks such as updating a file in a git repository.

Defaults to: None.

SLOW_CELERY_QUEUE

This configuration key allows to specify a dedicated queue for tasks that are triggered by the web frontend, are slow and do not impact the user experience in the user interface.

This will be used for tasks such as updating the ticket git repo based on the content posted in the user interface.

Defaults to: None.

Stomp Options

Pagure integration with Stomp allows you to emit messages to any stomp-compliant message bus.

STOMP_NOTIFICATIONS

This configuration key allows to turn on or off notifications via stomp protocol. All other stomp-related settings don’t need to be present if this is set to False.

Defaults to: False.

STOMP_BROKERS

List of 2-tuples with broker domain names and ports. For example [('primary.msg.bus.com', 6543), ('backup.msg.bus.com`, 6543)].

STOMP_HIERARCHY

Base name of the hierarchy to emit messages to. For example /queue/some.hierarchy.. Note that this must end with a dot. Pagure will append queue names such as project.new to this value, resulting in queue names being e.g. /queue/some.hierarchy.project.new.

STOMP_SSL

Whether or not to use SSL when connecting to message brokers.

Defaults to: False.

STOMP_KEY_FILE

Absolute path to key file for SSL connection. Only required if STOMP_SSL is set to True.

STOMP_CERT_FILE

Absolute path to certificate file for SSL connection. Only required if STOMP_SSL is set to True.

STOMP_CREDS_PASSWORD

Password for decoding STOMP_CERT_FILE and STOMP_KEY_FILE. Only required if STOMP_SSL is set to True and credentials files are password-encoded.

API token ACLs

ACLS

This configuration key lists all the ACLs that can be associated with an API token with a short description of what the ACL allows to do. This key it not really meant to be changed unless you really know what you are doing.

USER_ACLS

This configuration key allows to list which of the ACLs listed in ACLS can be associated with an API token of a project in the (web) user interface.

Use this configuration key in combination with ADMIN_API_ACLS to disable certain ACLs for users while allowing admins to generate keys with them.

Defaults to: [key for key in ACLS.keys() if key != 'generate_acls_project']

(ie: all the ACLs in ACLS except for generate_acls_project)

ADMIN_API_ACLS

This configuration key allows to list which of the ACLs listed in ACLS can be generated by the pagure-admin CLI tool by admins.

Defaults to: ['issue_comment', 'issue_create', 'issue_change_status', 'pull_request_flag', 'pull_request_comment', 'pull_request_merge', 'generate_acls_project', 'commit_flag', 'create_branch']

CROSS_PROJECT_ACLS

This configuration key allows to list which of the ACLs listed in ACLS can be associated with a project-less API token in the (web) user interface. These project-less API tokens can be generated in the user’s settings page and allows action in multiple projects instead of being restricted to a specific one.

Defaults to: ['create_project', 'fork_project', 'modify_project']

Optional options

Git repository templates

PROJECT_TEMPLATE_PATH

This configuration key allows you to specify the path to a git repository to use as a template when creating new repository for new projects. This template will not be used for forks nor any of the git repository but the one used for the sources (ie: it will not be used for the tickets, requests or docs repositories).

FORK_TEMPLATE_PATH

This configuration key allows you to specify the path to a git repository to use as a template when creating new repository for new forks. This template will not be used for any of the git repository but the one used for the sources of forks (ie: it will not be used for the tickets, requests or docs repositories).

SSH_KEYS

It is a good practice to publish the fingerprint and public SSH key of a server you provide access to. Pagure offers the possibility to expose this information based on the values set in the configuration file, in the SSH_KEYS configuration key.

See the SSH hostkeys/Fingerprints page on pagure.io.

Where <foo> and <bar> must be replaced by your values.

LOGGING

This configuration key allows you to set up the logging of the application. It relies on the standard python logging module.

The default value is:

LOGGING = {
    'version': 1,
    'disable_existing_loggers': False,
    'formatters': {
        'standard': {
            'format': '%(asctime)s [%(levelname)s] %(name)s: %(message)s'
        },
        'email_format': {
            'format': MSG_FORMAT
        }
    },
    'filters': {
        'myfilter': {
            '()': ContextInjector,
        }
    },
    'handlers': {
        'console': {
            'level': 'INFO',
            'formatter': 'standard',
            'class': 'logging.StreamHandler',
            'stream': 'ext://sys.stdout',
        },
        'email': {
            'level': 'ERROR',
            'formatter': 'email_format',
            'class': 'logging.handlers.SMTPHandler',
            'mailhost': 'localhost',
            'fromaddr': 'pagure@localhost',
            'toaddrs': 'root@localhost',
            'subject': 'ERROR on pagure',
            'filters': ['myfilter'],
        },
    },
    # The root logger configuration; this is a catch-all configuration
    # that applies to all log messages not handled by a different logger
    'root': {
        'level': 'INFO',
        'handlers': ['console'],
    },
    'loggers': {
        'pagure': {
            'handlers': ['console'],
            'level': 'DEBUG',
            'propagate': True
        },
        'flask': {
            'handlers': ['console'],
            'level': 'INFO',
            'propagate': False
        },
        'sqlalchemy': {
            'handlers': ['console'],
            'level': 'WARN',
            'propagate': False
        },
        'binaryornot': {
            'handlers': ['console'],
            'level': 'WARN',
            'propagate': True
        },
        'pagure.lib.encoding_utils': {
            'handlers': ['console'],
            'level': 'WARN',
            'propagate': False
        },
    }
}

Note

as you can see there is an email handler defined. It’s not used anywhere by default but you can use it to get report of errors by email and thus monitor your pagure instance. To do this the easiest is to set, on the root logger:

'handlers': ['console', 'email'],

ITEM_PER_PAGE

This configuration key allows you to configure the length of a page by setting the number of items on the page. Items can be commits, users, groups, or projects for example.

Defaults to: 50.

PR_TARGET_MATCHING_BRANCH

If set to True, the default target branch for all pull requests in UI is the branch that is longest substring of the branch that the pull request is created from. For example, a mybranch branch in original repo will be the default target of a pull request from branch mybranch-feature-1 in a fork when opening a new pull request. If this is set to False, the default branch of the repo will be the default target of all pull requests.

Defaults to: False.

SMTP_SERVER

This configuration key specifies the SMTP server to use when sending emails.

Defaults to: localhost.

SMTP_PORT

This configuration key specifies the SMTP server port.

SMTP by default uses TCP port 25. The protocol for mail submission is the same, but uses port 587. SMTP connections secured by SSL, known as SMTPS, default to port 465 (nonstandard, but sometimes used for legacy reasons).

Defaults to: 25

SMTP_SSL

This configuration key specifies whether the SMTP connections should be secured over SSL.

Defaults to: False

SMTP_USERNAME

This configuration key allows usage of SMTP with auth.

Note: Specify SMTP_USERNAME and SMTP_PASSWORD for using SMTP auth

Defaults to: None

SMTP_PASSWORD

This configuration key allows usage of SMTP with auth.

Note: Specify SMTP_USERNAME and SMTP_PASSWORD for using SMTP auth

Defaults to: None

SHORT_LENGTH

This configuration key specifies the length of the commit ids or file hex displayed in the user interface.

Defaults to: 6.

BLACKLISTED_PROJECTS

This configuration key specifies a list of project names that are forbidden. This list is used for example to avoid conflicts at the URL level between the static files located under /static/ and a project that would be named static and thus be located at /static.

Defaults to:

[
    'static', 'pv', 'releases', 'new', 'api', 'settings',
    'logout', 'login', 'users', 'groups'
]

CHECK_SESSION_IP

This configuration key specifies whether to check the user’s IP address when retrieving its session. This makes things more secure but under certain setups it might not work (for example if there are proxies in front of the application).

Defaults to: True.

PAGURE_AUTH

This configuration key specifies which authentication method to use. Valid options are fas, openid, oidc, or local.

• fas uses the Fedora Account System FAS <https://admin.fedoraproject.org/accounts> to provide user authentication and enforces that users sign the FPCA.

• openid uses OpenID authentication. Any provider may be used by changing the FAS_OPENID_ENDPOINT configuration key. By default FAS (without FPCA) will be used.

• oidc enables OpenID Connect using any provider. This provider requires the configuration options starting with OIDC_ (see below) to be provided.

• local causes pagure to use the local pagure database for user management.

Defaults to: local.

OIDC Settings

Note

Pagure uses flask-oidc to support OIDC authentication. This extension has a number of configuration keys that may be useful depending on your set-up

OIDC_CLIENT_SECRETS

Provide a path to client secrets file on local filesystem. This file can be obtained from your OpenID Connect identity provider. Note that some providers don’t fill in userinfo_uri. If that is the case, you need to add it to the secrets file manually.

OIDC_ID_TOKEN_COOKIE_SECURE

When this is set to True, the cookie with OpenID Connect Token will only be returned to the server via ssl (https). If you connect to the server via plain http, the cookie will not be sent. This prevents sniffing of the cookie contents. This may be set to False when testing your application but should always be set to True in production.

Defaults to: True for production with https, can be set to False for convenient development.

OIDC_SCOPES

List of OpenID Connect scopes http://openid.net/specs/openid-connect-core-1_0.html#ScopeClaims to request from identity provider.

OIDC_PAGURE_EMAIL

Name of key of user’s email in userinfo JSON returned by identity provider.

OIDC_PAGURE_FULLNAME

Name of key of user’s full name in userinfo JSON returned by identity provider.

OIDC_PAGURE_USERNAME

Name of key of user’s preferred username in userinfo JSON returned by identity provider.

OIDC_PAGURE_SSH_KEY

Name of key of user’s ssh key in userinfo JSON returned by identity provider.

OIDC_PAGURE_GROUPS

Name of key of user’s groups in userinfo JSON returned by identity provider.

OIDC_PAGURE_USERNAME_FALLBACK

This specifies fallback for getting username assuming OIDC_PAGURE_USERNAME is empty - can be email (to use the part before @) or sub (IdP-specific user id, can be a nickname, email or a numeric ID depending on identity provider).

IP_ALLOWED_INTERNAL

This configuration key specifies which IP addresses are allowed to access the internal API endpoint. These endpoints are accessed by the milters for example and allow performing actions in the name of someone else which is sensitive, thus the origin of the request using these endpoints is validated.

Defaults to: ['127.0.0.1', 'localhost', '::1'].

MAX_CONTENT_LENGTH

This configuration key specifies the maximum file size allowed when uploading content to pagure (for example, screenshots to a ticket).

Defaults to: 4 * 1024 * 1024 which corresponds to 4 megabytes.

ENABLE_TICKETS

This configuration key activates or deactivates the ticketing system for all the projects hosted on this pagure instance.

Defaults to: True

ENABLE_DOCS

This configuration key activates or deactivates creation of git repos for documentation for all the projects hosted on this pagure instance.

Defaults to: True

ENABLE_NEW_PROJECTS

This configuration key permits or forbids creation of new projects via the user interface and the API of this pagure instance.

Defaults to: True

ENABLE_UI_NEW_PROJECTS

This configuration key permits or forbids creation of new projects via the user interface (only) of this pagure instance. It allows forbidding to create new project in the user interface while letting a set of trusted person to create projects via the API granted they have the API token with the corresponding ACL.

Defaults to: True

ENABLE_DEL_PROJECTS

This configuration key permits or forbids deletion of projects via the user interface of this pagure instance.

Defaults to: True

ENABLE_DEL_FORKS

This configuration key permits or forbids deletion of forks via the user interface of this pagure instance.

Defaults to: ENABLE_DEL_PROJECTS

EMAIL_SEND

This configuration key enables or disables all email notifications for this pagure instance. This can be useful to turn off when developing on pagure, or for test or pre-production instances.

Defaults to: False.

Note

This does not disable emails to the email address set in EMAIL_ERROR.

FEDMSG_NOTIFICATIONS

This configuration key allows to turn on or off notifications via fedmsg.

Defaults to: False.

ALWAYS_FEDMSG_ON_COMMITS

This configuration key allows to enforce fedmsg notifications on commits made on all projects in a pagure instance.

Defaults to: True.

ALLOW_DELETE_BRANCH

This configuration keys enables or disables allowing users to delete git branches from the user interface. In sensible pagure instance you may want to turn this off and with a customized gitolite configuration you can prevent users from deleting branches in their git repositories.

Defaults to: True.

ALLOW_ADMIN_IGNORE_EXISTING_REPOS

This enables a checkbox “Ignore existing repos” for admins when creating a new project. When this is checkbox is checked, existing repositories will not cause project creation to fail. This could be used to assume responsibility of existing repositories.

Defaults to: False.

USERS_IGNORE_EXISTING_REPOS

List of users who can al create a project while ignoring existing repositories.

Defaults to: [].

LOCAL_SSH_KEY

This configuration key allows to let pagure administrate the user’s ssh keys or have a third party tool do it for you. In most cases, it will be fine to let pagure handle it.

Defaults to True.

DEPLOY_KEY

This configuration key allows to disable the deploy keys feature of an entire pagure instance. This feature enable to add extra public ssh keys that a third party could use to push to a project.

Defaults to True.

OLD_VIEW_COMMIT_ENABLED

In version 1.3, pagure changed its URL scheme to view the commit of a project in order to add support for pseudo-namespaced projects.

For pagure instances older than 1.3, who care about backward compatibility, we added an endpoint view_commit_old that brings URL backward compatibility for URLs using the complete git hash (the 40 characters). For URLs using a shorter hash, the URLs will remain broken.

This configuration key enables or disables this backward compatibility which is useful for pagure instances running since before 1.3 but is not for newer instances.

Defaults to: False.

PAGURE_CI_SERVICES

Pagure can be configure to integrate results of a Continuous Integration (CI) service to pull-requests open against a project.

To enable this integration, follow the documentation on how to install pagure-ci and set this configuration key to ['jenkins'] (Jenkins being the only CI service supported at the moment).

Defaults to: None.

Warning

Requires Redis to be configured and running.

INSTANCE_NAME

This allows giving a name to this running instance of pagure. The name is then used in the welcome screen shown upon first login.

Defaults to: Pagure

USER_NAMESPACE

This configuration key allows to enforce that project are namespaced under the user’s username, behaving in this way in a similar fashion as github.com or gitlab.com.

Defaults to: False

DOC_APP_URL

This configuration key allows you to specify where the documentation server is running (preferably in a different domain name entirely). If not set, the documentation page will show an error message saying that this pagure instance does not have a documentation server.

Defaults to: None

PRIVATE_PROJECTS

This configuration key allows you to host private repositories. These repositories are visible only to the creator of the repository and to the users who are given access to the repository. No information is leaked about the private repository which means redis doesn’t have the access to the repository and even fedmsg doesn’t get any notifications.

Defaults to: True

EXCLUDE_GROUP_INDEX

This configuration key can be used to hide project an user has access to via one of the groups listed in this key.

The use-case is the following: the Fedora project is deploying pagure has a front-end for the git repos of the packages in the distribution, that means about 17,000 git repositories in pagure. The project has a group of people that have access to all of these repositories, so when viewing the user’s page of one member of that group, instead of seeing all the project that this user works on, you can see all the projects hosted in that pagure instance. Using this configuration key, pagure will hide all the projects that this user has access to via the specified groups and thus return only the groups of forks of that users.

Defaults to: []

TRIGGER_CI

A run of pagure-ci can be manually triggered if some key sentences are added as comment to a pull-request. This allows to re-run a test that failed due to some network outage or other unexpected issues unrelated to the test suite.

This configuration key allows to define all the sentences that can be used to trigger this pagure-ci run.

Defaults to: ['pretty please pagure-ci rebuild']

Note

The sentences defined in this configuration key should be lower case only!

FLAG_STATUSES_LABELS

By default, Pagure has success, failure, error, pending and canceled statuses of PR and commit flags. This setting allows you to define a custom mapping of statuses to their respective Bootstrap labels.

FLAG_SUCCESS

Holds name of PR/commit flag that is considered a success.

Defaults to: success

FLAG_FAILURE

Holds name of PR/commit flag that is considered a failure.

Defaults to: failure

FLAG_PENDING

Holds name of PR/commit flag that is considered a pending state.

Defaults to: pending

EXTERNAL_COMMITTER

The external committer feature is a way to allow members of groups defined outside pagure (and provided to pagure upon login by the authentication system) to be consider committers on pagure.

This feature can give access to all the projects on the instance, all but some or just some.

Defaults to: {}

To give access to all the projects to a group named fedora-altarch use a such a structure:

EXTERNAL_COMMITTER = {
    'fedora-altarch': {}
}

To give access to all the projects but one (named rpms/test) to a group named provenpackager use a such a structure:

EXTERNAL_COMMITTER = {
    'fedora-altarch': {},
    'provenpackager': {
        'exclude': ['rpms/test']
    }
}

To give access to just some projects (named rpms/test and modules/test) to a group named testers use a such a structure:

EXTERNAL_COMMITTER = {
    'fedora-altarch': {},
    'provenpackager': {
        'exclude': ['rpms/test']
    },
    'testers': {
        'restrict': ['rpms/test', 'modules/test']
    }
}

REQUIRED_GROUPS

The required groups allows to specify in which group an user must be to be added to a project with commit or admin access.

Defaults to: {}

Example configuration:

REQUIRED_GROUPS = {
    'rpms/kernel': ['packager', 'kernel-team'],
    'modules/*': ['module-packager', 'packager'],
    'rpms/*': ['packager'],
    '*': ['contributor'],
}

With this configuration (evaluated in the provided order):

• only users that are in the groups packager and kernel-team will be allowed to be added the rpms/kernel project (where rpms is the namespace and kernel the project name).

• only users that are in the groups module-packager and packager will be allowed to be added to projects in the modules namespace.

• only users that are in the group packager will be allowed to be added to projects in the rpms namespace.

• only users in the contributor group will be allowed to be added to any project on this pagure instance.

GITOLITE_PRE_CONFIG

This configuration key allows you to include some content at the top of the gitolite configuration file (such as some specific group definition), thus allowing to customize the gitolite configuration file with elements and information that are outside of pagure’s control.

This can be used in combination with GITOLITE_POST_CONFIG to further customize gitolite’s configuration file. It can also be used with EXTERNAL_COMMITTER to give commit access to git repos based on external information.

Defaults to: None

GITOLITE_POST_CONFIG

This configuration key allows you to include some content at the end of the gitolite configuration file (such as some project definition or access), thus allowing to customize the gitolite configuration file with elements and information that are outside of pagure’s control.

This can be used in combination with GITOLITE_PRE_CONFIG to further customize gitolite’s configuration file. It can also be used with EXTERNAL_COMMITTER to give commit access to git repos based on external information.

Defaults to: None

CELERY_CONFIG

This configuration key allows you to tweak the configuration of celery for your needs. See the documentation about celery configuration for more information.

Defaults to: {}

CASE_SENSITIVE

This configuration key allows to make this pagure instance case sensitive instead of its default: case-insensitive.

Defaults to: False

PROJECT_NAME_REGEX

This configuration key allows to customize the regular expression used to validate new project name.

Defaults to: ^[a-zA-z0-9_][a-zA-Z0-9-_]*$

APPLICATION_ROOT

This configuration key is used in the path of the cookie used by pagure.

Defaults to: '/'

ALLOWED_PREFIX

This configuration key allows to specify a list of allowed namespaces that will not require creating a group for users to create projects in.

Defaults to: []

ADMIN_SESSION_LIFETIME

This configuration key allows specifying the lifetime of the session during which the user won’t have to re-login for admin actions. In other words, the maximum time between which an user can access a project’s settings page without re-login.

Defaults to: timedelta(minutes=20)

where timedelta comes from the python datetime module

BLACKLISTED_GROUPS

This configuration key allows to blacklist some group names.

Defaults to: ['forks', 'group']

ENABLE_GROUP_MNGT

This configuration key allows to turn on or off managing (ie: creating a group, adding or removing users in that group) groups in this pagure instance. If turned off, groups and group members are to be managed outside of pagure and synced upon login.

Defaults to: True

ENABLE_USER_MNGT

This configuration key allows to turn on or off managing users (adding or removing them from a project) in this pagure instance. If turned off, users are managed outside of pagure.

Defaults to: True

SESSION_COOKIE_NAME

This configuration key allows to specify the name of the session cookie used by pagure.

Defaults to: 'pagure'

SHOW_PROJECTS_INDEX

This configuration key allows to specify what is shown in the index page of logged in users.

Defaults to: ['repos', 'myrepos', 'myforks']

EMAIL_ON_WATCHCOMMITS

By default pagure sends an email to every one watch commits on a project when a commit is made. However some pagure instances may be using a different notification mechanism on commits and thus may not want this feature to double the notifications received. This configuration key allows to turn on or off email being sent to people watching commits on a project upon commits.

Defaults to: True

ALLOW_HTTP_PULL_PUSH

This configuration key controls whether any HTTP access to repositories is provided via the support for that that’s embedded in Pagure. This provides HTTP pull access via <pagureurl>/<reponame>.git if nothing else serves this URL.

Defaults to: True

ALLOW_HTTP_PUSH

This configuration key controls whether pushing is possible via the HTTP interface. This is disabled by default, as it requires setting up an authentication mechanism on the webserver that sets REMOTE_USER.

Defaults to: False

HTTP_REPO_ACCESS_GITOLITE

This configuration key configures the path to the gitolite-shell binary. If this is set to None, Git http-backend is used directly. Only set this to None if you intend to provide HTTP push access via Pagure, and are using a dynamic ACL backend.

Defaults to: /usr/share/gitolite3/gitolite-shell

MIRROR_SSHKEYS_FOLDER

This configuration key specificies where pagure should store the ssh keys generated for the mirroring feature. This folder should be properly backed up and kept secure.

Defaults to: /var/lib/pagure/sshkeys/

RepoSpanner Options

Pagure can be integrated with repoSpanner allowing to deploy pagure in a load-balanced environment since the git repositories are then synced accross multiple servers simultaneously.

Support for this integration has been included in Pagure version 5.0 and higher.

Here below are the different options one can/should use to integrate pagure with repoSpanner.

REPOBRIDGE_BINARY

This should contain the path to the repoBridge binary, which is used for pushing and pulling to/from repoSpanner.

Defaults to: /usr/libexec/repobridge.

REPOSPANNER_NEW_REPO

This configuration key instructs pagure to create new git repositories on repoSpanner or not. Its value should be the region in which the new git repositories should be created on.

Defaults to: None.

REPOSPANNER_NEW_REPO_ADMIN_OVERRIDE

This configuration key can be used to let pagure admin override the default region used when creating new git repositories on repoSpanner. Its value should be a boolean.

Defaults to: False

REPOSPANNER_NEW_FORK

This configuration key instructs pagure on where/how to create new git repositories for the forks with repoSpanner. If None, git repositories for forks are created outside of repoSpanner entirely. If True, git repositories for forks are created in the same region as the parent project. Otherwise, a region can be directly specified where git repositories for forks will be created.

Defaults to: True

REPOSPANNER_ADMIN_MIGRATION

This configuration key can be used to let admin manually migrate individual project into repoSpanner once it is set up.

Defaults to: False

REPOSPANNER_REGIONS

This configuration key allows to specify the different region where repoSpanner is deployed and thus with which this pagure instance can be integrated.

An example entry could look like:

REPOSPANNER_REGIONS = {
    'default': {'url': 'https://nodea.regiona.repospanner.local:8444',
                'repo_prefix': 'pagure/',
                'hook': None,
                'ca': '/etc/pki/repospanner/pki/ca.crt',
                'admin_cert': {'cert': '/etc/pki/repospanner/pki/admin.crt',
                               'key': '/etc/pki/repospanner/pki/admin.key'},
                'push_cert': {'cert': '/etc/pki/repospanner/pki/pagure.crt',
                              'key': '/etc/pki/repospanner/pki/pagure.key'}}
}

If this configuration key is not defined, pagure will consider that it is not set to be integrated with repoSpanner.

Defaults to: {}

SSH_KEYS_USERNAME_LOOKUP

This configuration key is used by the keyhelper script to indicate that the git username should be used and looked up. Use this if the username that is sent to ssh is specific for a unique Pagure user (i.e. not using a single “git@” user for all git operations).

SSH_KEYS_USERNAME_FORBIDDEN

A list of usernames that are exempted from being verified via the keyhelper.

SSH_KEYS_USERNAME_EXPECT

This configuration key should contain the username that is used for git if a single SSH user is used for all git ssh traffic (i.e. “git”).

SSH_KEYS_OPTIONS

This configuration key provides the options added to keys as they are returned to sshd, in the same format as AuthorizedKeysFile (see “AUTHORIZED_KEYS FILE FORMAT” in sshd(8)).

SSH_COMMAND_REPOSPANNER

The command to run if a repository is on repospanner when aclchecker is in use.

SSH_COMMAND_NON_REPOSPANNER

The command to run if a repository is not on repospanner when aclchecker is in use.

Deprecated configuration keys

FORK_FOLDER

This configuration key used to be use to specify the folder where the forks are placed. Since the release 2.0 of pagure, it has been deprecated, forks are now automatically placed in a sub-folder of the folder containing the mains git repositories (ie GIT_FOLDER).

See the UPGRADING.rst file for more information about this change and how to handle it.

UPLOAD_FOLDER

This configuration key used to be use to specify where the uploaded releases are available. It has been replaced by UPLOAD_FOLDER_PATH in the release 2.10 of pagure.

GITOLITE_VERSION

This configuration key specifies which version of gitolite you are using, it can be either 2 or 3.

Defaults to: 3.

This has been replaced by GITOLITE_BACKEND in the release 3.0 of pagure.

DOCS_FOLDER, REQUESTS_FOLDER, TICKETS_FOLDER

These configuration values were removed. It has been found out that due to how Pagure writes repo names in the gitolite configuration file, these must have fixed paths relative to GIT_FOLDER. Specifically, they must occupy subdirectories docs, requests and tickets under GIT_FOLDER. They are now computed automatically based on value of GIT_FOLDER. Usage of docs and tickets can be triggered by setting ENABLE_DOCS and ENABLE_TICKETS to True (this is the default).

FILE_SIZE_HIGHLIGHT

This configuration key allows to specify the maximum number of characters a file or diff should have to have syntax highlighting. Everything above this limit will not have syntax highlighting as this is a memory intensive procedure that easily leads to out of memory error on large files or diff.

Defaults to: 5000

BOOTSTRAP_URLS_CSS

This configuration key allows to specify the URL where are hosted the bootstrap CSS file since the files hosted on apps.fedoraproject.org used in pagure.io are not restricted in browser access.

Defaults to: 'https://apps.fedoraproject.org/global/fedora-bootstrap-1.1.1/fedora-bootstrap.css'

This has been deprecated by the new way of theming pagure, see the theming documentation

BOOTSTRAP_URLS_JS

This configuration key allows to specify the URL where are hosted the bootstrap JS file since the files hosted on apps.fedoraproject.org used in pagure.io are not restricted in browser access.

Defaults to: 'https://apps.fedoraproject.org/global/fedora-bootstrap-1.1.1/fedora-bootstrap.js'

This has been deprecated by the new way of theming pagure, see the theming documentation

HTML_TITLE

This configuration key allows you to customize the HTML title of all the pages, from ... - pagure (default) to ... - <your value>.

Defaults to: Pagure

This has been deprecated by the new way of theming pagure, see the theming documentation

GITOLITE_BACKEND

This configuration key allowed specifying the gitolite backend. This has now been replaced by GIT_AUTH_BACKEND, please see that option for information on valid values.
