psalomo/githttpserver repository overview

⁠GIT http server

A simple git http server deployable to kubernetes⁠, made for demonstration of the WASM-git⁠ project.

Even though WASM-git can clone git repositories from any git http server, there are restrictions in browsers when it comes to accessing data from other domains (CORS⁠). This project is set up to provide a git server without this restriction.

The project is currently deployed at https://githttpserverdemo.petersalomonsen.usw1.kubesail.io⁠ using the free tier from kubesail⁠, so don't use this deployment for storing anything important or sensitive. It's just for test and demonstration purposes.

For authentication and access control the near-protocol⁠ blockchain is used. Currently set up for the testnet, where new accounts are loaded with free gas from the beginning. Smart contract sources can be found in the nearcontract⁠ folder, and is for access control to repositories.

From the browser side a token is created and signed using the private keys stored in the browser. The server checks the signature and query the smart contract for access rights to the requested repository.
