How to Install HTTP Git Server with Nginx on Debian 11

Follow this step-by-step guide to install an HTTP Git server on your server running Debian 11.

Step 1: Update the System

Before installing any software, it’s important to update your system’s packages:

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

Step 2: Install Required Packages

Install Git and Nginx:

sudo apt install -y git nginx

Step 3: Create a Git Repository

Create a directory for your Git repositories:

sudo mkdir -p /var/git/myrepo.git
cd /var/git/myrepo.git
sudo git init --bare

Step 4: Configure Nginx

Create a new Nginx configuration file for your Git server:

sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/git

Add the following configuration:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name your_domain.com;  # Replace with your domain

    location / {
        root /var/git;
        index index.html;
    }

    location ~ \.git {
        deny all;
    }

    location ~ ^/myrepo.git {
        auth_basic "Git Access";
        auth_basic_user_file /etc/nginx/.htpasswd;
        proxy_pass http://localhost:8080;
    }
}

Enable the configuration:

sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/git /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/

Step 5: Set Up Basic Authentication

Install the Apache utility to create a password file:

sudo apt install -y apache2-utils

Create the password file and add a user:

sudo htpasswd -c /etc/nginx/.htpasswd username

Step 6: Test Nginx Configuration

Check for syntax errors in your Nginx configuration:

sudo nginx -t

Step 7: Restart Nginx

If the test was successful, restart Nginx:

sudo systemctl restart nginx

Step 8: Clone the Repository

Now you can clone the repository using:

git clone http://your_domain.com/myrepo.git

Conclusion

You have successfully set up an HTTP Git server with Nginx on your server running Debian 11. You can now manage your Git repositories over HTTP!
