=======================
Running a Bazaar Server
=======================
Bazaar does not require a specialised server because it operates over HTTP, FTP
or SFTP. There is an optional smart server that can be invoked over SSH, from
inetd, or in a dedicated mode.
Dumb servers
============
We describe HTTP, FTP, SFTP and HTTP-WebDAV as "dumb" servers because they do
not offer any assistance to Bazaar. If you make a Bazaar repository available
over any of these protocols, Bazaar will allow you to read it remotely. Just
enter the URL to the branch in the Bazaar command you are running.::
bzr log http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev
Bazaar supports writing over FTP, SFTP and via a plugin over HTTP-WebDAV.
High performance server
=======================
**In development**
The high performance server is currently in development. The version of Bazaar
that accompanies this documentation is able to use the servers underlying
protocol as a dumb server. This is the first stage high performance server
functionality to be delivered.
The current high performance server provides read only access by default for
security. To enable read-write access, run it with --allow-writes. When using
the SSH access method, bzr automatically runs with with the --allow-writes
option.
It can be configured to run in three different ways:
SSH
---
Using Bazaar over SSH requires no special configuration on the server::
BZR_REMOTE_PATH=~/bin/bzr bzr log bzr+ssh://host/path/to/branch
The `BZR_REMOTE_PATH` environment variable adjusts how `bzr` will be invoked on
the remote system. By default, just `bzr` will be invoked, which requires the
`bzr` executable to be on the default search path.
The `bzr+ssh://` URL scheme only supports absolute paths from the root of the
filesystem. Future versions are expected to support `~` in the same way as
`sftp://` URLs.
inetd
-----
This example shows how to run `bzr` with a dedicated user `bzruser` for a shared
repository in `/srv/bzr/repo` which has a branch at `/srv/bzr/repo/branchname`
Running a Bazaar server from inetd requires an inetd.conf entry::
1234 stream tcp nowait bzruser /usr/bin/bzr serve --inet --directory=/srv/bzr/repo
When running client commands, the URL you supply is a `bzr://` URL relative to
the `--directory` option given in inetd.conf::
bzr log bzr://host:1234/branchname
Dedicated
---------
This mode has the same path and URL behaviour as the inetd mode. To run as a
specific, you should use `su` or login as that user. This example runs bzr
serve on `localhost` port `1234`.
server::
bzr serve --port=localhost:1234 --directory=/srv/bzr/repo
client::
bzr log bzr://host:1234/branchname
