TracStandalone
v6 v7 1 = Tracd =1 = Tracd 2 2 3 3 Tracd is a lightweight standalone Trac web server. 4 4 It can be used in a variety of situations, from a test or development server to a multiprocess setup behind another web server used as a load balancer. 5 5 6 == Pros ==6 == Pros 7 7 8 8 * Fewer dependencies: You don't need to install apache or any other web-server. … … 10 10 * Automatic reloading: For development, Tracd can be used in ''auto_reload'' mode, which will automatically restart the server whenever you make a change to the code (in Trac itself or in a plugin). 11 11 12 == Cons ==12 == Cons 13 13 14 14 * Fewer features: Tracd implements a very simple web-server and is not as configurable or as scalable as Apache httpd. … … 16 16 or [trac:wiki:STunnelTracd stunnel -- a tutorial on how to use stunnel with tracd] or Apache with mod_proxy. 17 17 18 == Usage examples ==18 == Usage examples 19 19 20 20 A single project on port 8080.

(It is also possible to create the password file without htpasswd or htdigest; see below for alternatives) … … 101 100 102 101 The general format for using authentication is: 103 {{{ 102 {{{#!sh 104 103 $ tracd -p port --auth="base_project_dir,password_file_path,realm" project_path 105 104 }}} … … 117 116 Examples: 118 117 119 {{{ 118 {{{#!sh 120 119 $ tracd -p 8080 \ 121 120 --auth="project1,/path/to/passwordfile,mycompany.com" /path/to/project1 … … 123 122 124 123 Of course, the password file can be be shared so that it is used for more than one project: 125 {{{ 124 {{{#!sh 126 125 $ tracd -p 8080 \ 127 126 --auth="project1,/path/to/passwordfile,mycompany.com" \ … … 131 130 132 131 Another way to share the password file is to specify "*" for the project name: 133 {{{ 132 {{{#!sh 134 133 $ tracd -p 8080 \ 135 134 --auth="*,/path/to/users.htdigest,mycompany.com" \ … … 137 136 }}} 138 137 139 === Basic Authorization: Using a htpasswd password file ===138 === Basic Authorization: Using a htpasswd password file 140 139 This section describes how to use `tracd` with Apache .htpasswd files. 141 140 … … 145 144 146 145 To create a .htpasswd file use Apache's `htpasswd` command (see [#GeneratingPasswordsWithoutApache below] for a method to create these files without using Apache): 147 {{{ 146 {{{#!sh 148 147 $ sudo htpasswd -c /path/to/env/.htpasswd username 149 148 }}} 150 149 then for additional users: 151 {{{ 150 {{{#!sh 152 151 $ sudo htpasswd /path/to/env/.htpasswd username2 153 152 }}} 154 153 155 154 Then to start `tracd` run something like this: 156 {{{ 155 {{{#!sh 157 156 $ tracd -p 8080 --basic-auth="projectdirname,/fullpath/environmentname/.htpasswd,realmname" /fullpath/environmentname 158 157 }}} 159 158 160 159 For example: 161 {{{ 160 {{{#!sh 162 161 $ tracd -p 8080 --basic-auth="testenv,/srv/tracenv/testenv/.htpasswd,My Test Env" /srv/tracenv/testenv 163 162 }}} 164 163 ''Note:'' You might need to pass "-m" as a parameter to htpasswd on some platforms (OpenBSD). 165 164 166 === Digest authentication: Using a htdigest password file ===165 === Digest authentication: Using a htdigest password file 167 166 168 167 If you have Apache available, you can use the htdigest command to generate the password file. Type 'htdigest' to get some usage instructions, or read [http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/programs/htdigest.html this page] from the Apache manual to get precise instructions. You'll be prompted for a password to enter for each user that you create. For the name of the password file, you can use whatever you like, but if you use something like `users.htdigest` it will remind you what the file contains. As a suggestion, put it in your <projectname>/conf folder along with the [TracIni trac.ini] file. … … 170 169 Note that you can start tracd without the `--auth` argument, but if you click on the ''Login'' link you will get an error. 171 170 172 === Generating Passwords Without Apache ===171 === Generating Passwords Without Apache 173 172 174 173 Basic Authorization can be accomplished via this [http://aspirine.org/htpasswd_en.html online HTTP Password generator] which also supports `SHA-1`. Copy the generated password-hash line to the .htpasswd file on your system. Note that Windows Python lacks the "crypt" module that is the default hash type for htpasswd ; Windows Python can grok MD5 password hashes just fine and you should use MD5. … … 176 175 You can use this simple Python script to generate a '''digest''' password file: 177 176 178 {{{ 179 #!python 177 {{{#!python 180 178 from optparse import OptionParser 181 179 # The md5 module is deprecated in Python 2.5 … … 210 208 Note: If you use the above script you must set the realm in the `--auth` argument to '''`trac`'''.
