NAME

6       git-annex-webapp - launch webapp
7

SYNOPSIS

9       git annex webapp
10

DESCRIPTION

12       Opens  a web app, that allows easy setup of a git-annex repository, and
13       control of the git-annex assistant. If the  assistant  is  not  already
14       running, it will be started.
15
16       By default, the webapp can only be accessed from localhost, and running
17       it opens a browser window.
18

OPTIONS

20       --listen=address
21
22              Useful for using the webapp on a remote computer. This makes the
23              webapp listen on the specified address.
24
25              This  disables  running a local web browser, and outputs the url
26              you can use to open the webapp.
27
28              Set annex.listen in the git config to  make  the  webapp  always
29              listen on an address.
30
31       Also the git-annex-common-options(1) can be used.
32

USING HTTPS

34       When  using  the  webapp  on a remote computer, you'll almost certainly
35       want to enable HTTPS. The webapp will use HTTPS if it finds a  .git/an‐
36       nex/privkey.pem  and .git/annex/certificate.pem. Here's one way to gen‐
37       erate those files, using a self-signed certificate:
38
39        openssl genrsa -out .git/annex/privkey.pem 4096
40        openssl req -new -x509 -key .git/annex/privkey.pem  >  .git/annex/cer‐
41       tificate.pem
