Setting up Git Server

Setting up Git Server

[Joshua Stoutenburg]

Looking for some guidance in setting up a git server customized to my
specific needs.  Could anybody walk me through the process?

I have a VirtualBox VM server on which I want to set up a cluster of VMs
each one for a different purpose -- experimentation, web hosting, and,
of course, git.

I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS for the operating system.  I have a single
public ip address.

I will want to access the git server over the internet.  I want to
easily control git users, groups, and permissions apart from the linux
user system, specifying who can access what repositories.

I don't mind CLI, as opposed to GUI, as long as it is well explained,
and it is the most efficient way to do it.

After setting up the server, I'd also like some guidance setting up
individual workstations (*nix and Winblows) to use git in the Eclipse
IDE.

You're guidance greatly appreciated.

I'd gladly put together a step-by-step guide as we figure it out for
other users looking to do the same.

Have a look at gitolite (https://github.com/sitaramc/gitolite).
It's not very hard to setup and then it's pretty easy to work with. It
can also be integrated with stuffs like redmine.

As you are using VMs, you should have a look at Turnkey-Linux
(http://turnkey-linux.com/). They offer ready-to-use linux appliances, 
which are based on Ubuntu. 

There is two for code revision which already include git, hg and subversion.
There is also others appliances made to be web server.
