Configuration files Help

[rmshnair]

I am trying to setup the environment for my Java and Javascript projects. trying to find a help with configuration files that helps to setup my GIT and SVN repos synced with open grok. There are several configuration files and slightly confused with their formats, and locations, especially with docker container environment.

sync config
fresh_config.xml
ctags.config
reso sync configuration.yml

any help is much appreciated

For repository synchronization config using the opengrok-mirror script see https://github.com/oracle/opengrok/wiki/Repository-synchronization

The execution of the opengrok-mirror script should go into

opengrok/docker/start.sh

Lines 41 to 44 in 112419e

	while true; do
	sleep `expr 60 \* $REINDEX`
	/scripts/index.sh
	done

before the execution of index.sh. You will need to install the Python scripts first.

Using the sync script in the Docker container is certainly possible.

It would be nice if the opengrok-sync and opengrok-mirror were running in the Docker container, created #3221. This will eventually replace the cycle with a execution of opengrok-sync.

Thanks, i see a YAML configuration in [https://github.com/oracle/opengrok/wiki/Repository-synchronization], it looks like a per project configuration, but different format, what should be the filename for this YAML and where do i put in docker container?

also, how do i configure options like username, password, quite for SVN update command as part of synchronization?

The config file can be placed anywhere in the Docker image I think. It does not matter what is the name of the config file, just pass it to the opengrok-mirror script with --config option.

The username/password for Subversion repositories is set via environment variables:

• OPENGROK_SUBVERSION_USERNAME
• OPENGROK_SUBVERSION_PASSWORD

Ideally they should be per project properties - #1946

Actually, the opengrok-mirror is already part of the Docker image and runs before every reindex. It does not use any configuration, it just retrieves the list of repositories from the web application.

[vladak]

The limitation of performing repository synchronization via opengrok-mirror is that it does not accept username/password. Perhaps this can be part of the Subversion configuration ?

[vladak]

In general I'd say that if you need mirroring configuration, then this is outside of intended use scope for the official Docker image. Better run the mirroring externally and disable it via the NOMIRROR environment variable.

Thanks. i was able to configure. however i see a problem. i have a svn repo with multiple trunks at different level. i checked out each trunk separately, however organized as same folder structure inside a single opengrok project. my observation is, indexer ran and able to figure out all the trunk that are with in 3 levels deep from the project folder. all other are not found and added to configuration.xml. is this 3 levels deep is a limitation? if so, can we overcome this?

See the --depth indexer option.
