bug#42447: Issue with CGIT service

[Brett Gilio]

Hi all,

I am having an issue with the CGIT service. There is a record field for
setting the directory it should watch, defaulting to /srv/cgit or
something similar. Currently when doing this it just returns an empty
cgit web interface.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(service cgit-service-type
		  (cgit-configuration
		   (enable-commit-graph? #t)
		   (enable-html-serving? #t)
		   (repository-directory
		    (string-append home-directory "/Repos/"))
		   (nocache? #t)
		   (readme "CGIT README")))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Also, I would also be willing to collaborate with
somebody on getting cgit and nginx to work together to set a port other
than 80.

Thoughts?

Weird.

The cgit test in (gnu tests version-control) shows cgit/nginx
integration, perhaps you could take inspiration from there?  It also
suggests we should add an example in the manual.

Thanks,

I had a similar issue back in November
<https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2019-11/msg00421.html>.
I believe you need to change the permissions on /srv/cgit to allow
access.

Perhaps this can be properly fixed by using supplementary groups now
that <https://issues.guix.info/issue/41573> has been pushed.

P.S. I had thought of <https://issues.guix.info/issue/38438> where
fcgiwrap is involved.
