Bazaar supports writing over FTP, SFTP and (via a plugin) over HTTP-WebDAV.

High-performance smart server
21
-----------------------------
23
The high-performance smart server (hpss) performs certain operations much faster
24
than dumb servers are capable of. In future releases, the range of operations
25
that are improved by using the smart server will increase as we continue to
28
To maintain the highest security possible, the current
29
smart server provides read-only access by default. To
30
enable read-write access, run it with ``--allow-writes``. When using
31
the SSH access method, bzr automatically runs with the
32
``--allow-writes`` option.
34
The alternative ways of configuring a smart server are explained below.

High performance server
22
=======================
26
The high performance server is currently in development. The version of Bazaar
27
that accompanies this documentation is able to use the servers underlying
28
protocol as a dumb server. This is the first stage high performance server
29
functionality to be delivered.
31
The current high performance server provides read only access by default for
32
security. To enable read-write access, run it with --allow-writes. When using
33
the SSH access method, bzr automatically runs with with the --allow-writes
36
It can be configured to run in three different ways:
39
41
Using Bazaar over SSH requires no special configuration on the server::
41
43
BZR_REMOTE_PATH=~/bin/bzr bzr log bzr+ssh://host/path/to/branch
43
The ``BZR_REMOTE_PATH`` environment variable adjusts how `bzr` will be
44
invoked on the remote system. By default, just `bzr` will be invoked,
45
which requires the `bzr` executable to be on the default search path.
45
The `BZR_REMOTE_PATH` environment variable adjusts how `bzr` will be invoked on
46
the remote system. By default, just `bzr` will be invoked, which requires the
47
`bzr` executable to be on the default search path.
47
The ``bzr+ssh://`` URL scheme only supports absolute paths from the
48
root of the filesystem. Future versions are expected to support ``~``
49
in the same way as ``sftp://`` URLs
50
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/+bug/109143).

This example shows how to run `bzr` with a dedicated user `bzruser`
56
for a shared repository in ``/srv/bzr/repo`` which has a branch at
57
``/srv/bzr/repo/branchname``.

Running a Bazaar server from inetd requires an inetd.conf entry::
61
4155 stream tcp nowait bzruser /usr/bin/bzr /usr/bin/bzr serve --inet --directory=/srv/bzr/repo
61
1234 stream tcp nowait bzruser /usr/bin/bzr serve --inet --directory=/srv/bzr/repo
63
63
When running client commands, the URL you supply is a `bzr://` URL relative to
64
the ``--directory`` option given in inetd.conf::
64
the `--directory` option given in inetd.conf::
66
bzr log bzr://host/branchname
66
bzr log bzr://host:1234/branchname
71
This mode has the same path and URL behaviour as the inetd mode. To
72
run as a specific user, you should use ``su`` or login as that user.
74
This example runs bzr on its official port number of `4155` and listens on all
75
interfaces. This allows connections from anywhere in the world that can reach
76
your machine on port `4155`.
80
bzr serve --directory=/srv/bzr/repo
84
bzr log bzr://host/branchname
86
This example runs ``bzr serve`` on `localhost` port `1234`.
71
This mode has the same path and URL behaviour as the inetd mode. To run as a
72
specific, you should use `su` or login as that user. This example runs bzr
73
serve on `localhost` port `1234`.
