SYNOPSIS
git annex webapp
DESCRIPTION
Opens a web app, that allows easy setup of a git-annex repository, and control of the git-annex assistant. If the assistant is not already running, it will be started.By default, the webapp can only be accessed from localhost, and running it opens a browser window.
OPTIONS
- --listen=address
- Useful for using the webapp on a remote computer. This makes the webapp listen on the specified address.
- This disables running a local web browser, and outputs the url you can use to open the webapp.
- Set annex.listen in the git config to make the webapp always listen on an address.
USING HTTPS
When using the webapp on a remote computer, you'll almost certainly want to enable HTTPS. The webapp will use HTTPS if it finds a .git/annex/privkey.pem and .git/annex/certificate.pem. Here's one way to generate those files, using a self-signed certificate:
openssl genrsa -out .git/annex/privkey.pem 4096
openssl req -new -x509 -key .git/annex/privkey.pem > .git/annex/certificate.pem
