v3 v4 6 6 == Pros 7 7 8 * Fewer dependencies: You don't need to install apache or any other web-server.9 * Fast: Should be almost as fast as the [wiki:TracMod Python mod_python] version (and much faster than the [wiki:TracCgi CGI]), even more so since version 0.12 where the HTTP/1.1 version of the protocol is enabled by default10 * Automatic reloading: For development, Tracd can be used in ''auto_reload'' mode, which will automatically restart the server whenever you make a change to the code (in Trac itself or in a plugin).8 * Fewer dependencies: You don't need to install Apache or any other web-server. 9 * Fast: Should be almost as fast as the [wiki:TracModWSGI mod_wsgi] version (and much faster than the [wiki:TracCgi CGI]), especially since the HTTP/1.1 version of the protocol is enabled by default. 10 * Automatic reloading: For development, Tracd can be used in ''auto_reload'' mode, which will automatically restart the server whenever you make a change to the code, for example in Trac itself or in a plugin. 11 11 12 12 == Cons 13 13 14 14 * Fewer features: Tracd implements a very simple web-server and is not as configurable or as scalable as Apache httpd. 15 * No native HTTPS support: [http://www.rickk.com/sslwrap/ sslwrap] can be used instead,16 or [trac:wiki:STunnelTracd stunnel -- a tutorial on how to use stunnel with tracd] or Apache with mod_proxy.17 15 18 16 == Usage examples … … 31 29 }}} 32 30 33 You can't have the last portion of the path identical between the projects since Trac uses that name to keep the URLs of the 34 different projects unique. So if you use `/project1/path/to` and `/project2/path/to`, you will only see the second project. 31 You can't have the last portion of the path identical between the projects since Trac uses that name to keep the URLs of the different projects unique. So if you use `/project1/path/to` and `/project2/path/to`, you will only see the second project. 35 32 36 33 An alternative way to serve multiple projects is to specify a parent directory in which each subdirectory is a Trac project, using the `-e` option. The example above could be rewritten: … … 39 36 }}} 40 37 41 To exit the server on Windows, be sure to use `CTRL-BREAK` -- using `CTRL-C` will leave a Python process running in the background. 38 There is support for the HTTPS protocol (//Since 1.3.4//). Specify the path to the PEM certificate file and keyfile using the `--certfile` and `--keyfile` options. You can specify just the `--certfile` option if you have a [https://docs.python.org/2/library/ssl.html#combined-key-and-certificate combined key and certificate]. 39 40 To exit the server on Windows, be sure to use `CTRL-BREAK`.

Type 'htdigest' to get some usage instructions, or read [http ://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/programs/htdigest.html this page] from the Apache manual to get precise instructions. You'll be prompted for a password to enter for each user that you create. For the name of the password file, you can use whatever you like, but if you use something like `users.htdigest` it will remind you what the file contains. As a suggestion, put it in your <projectname>/conf folder along with the [TracIni trac.ini] file.171 If you have Apache available, you can use the htdigest command to generate the password file.

Copy the generated password-hash line to the .htpasswd file on your system. Note that Windows Python lacks the "crypt" module that is the default hash type for htpasswd. Windows Python can grok MD5 password hashes just fine and you should use MD5. 176 178 177 Trac also provides `htpasswd` and `htdigest` scripts in `contrib`:179 Trac also provides `htpasswd` and `htdigest` scripts in [https://trac.edgewall.org/browser/trunk/contrib contrib] (also available in the tar or zip archive): 178 180 {{{#!sh 179 181 $ ./contrib/htpasswd.py -cb htpasswd user1 user1 … … 187 189 188 190 ==== Using `md5sum` 191 189 192 It is possible to use `md5sum` utility to generate digest-password file: 190 193 {{{#!sh … … 198 201 == Reference 199 202 200 Here's the online help, as a reminder (`tracd - -help`):203 Here's the online help, as a reminder (`tracd -h` or `tracd --help`): 201 204 {{{ 202 Usage: tracd [options] [projenv] ... 203 204 Options: 205 usage: tracd [-h] [--version] [-e PARENTDIR | -s] 206 [-a DIGESTAUTH | --basic-auth BASICAUTH] [-p PORT] [-b HOSTNAME] 207 [--protocol {http,https,scgi,ajp,fcgi}] [--certfile CERTFILE] 208 [--keyfile KEYFILE] [-q] [--base-path BASE_PATH] 209 [--http10 | --http11] [-r | -d] [--pidfile PIDFILE] [--umask MASK] 210 [--group GROUP] [--user USER] 211 [envs ...] 212 213 positional arguments: 214 envs path of the project environment(s) 215 216 options: 217 -h, --help show this help message and exit 205 218 --version show program's version number and exit 206 -h, --help show this help message and exit 207 -a DIGESTAUTH, --auth=DIGESTAUTH 219 -e PARENTDIR, --env-parent-dir PARENTDIR 220 parent directory of the project environments 221 -s, --single-env only serve a single project without the project list 222 -a DIGESTAUTH, --auth DIGESTAUTH 208 223 [projectdir],[htdigest_file],[realm] 209 --basic-auth =BASICAUTH224 --basic-auth BASICAUTH 210 225 [projectdir],[htpasswd_file],[realm] 211 -p PORT, --port =PORT the port number to bind to212 -b HOSTNAME, --hostname =HOSTNAME226 -p PORT, --port PORT the port number to bind to 227 -b HOSTNAME, --hostname HOSTNAME 213 228 the host name or IP address to bind to 214 --protocol =PROTOCOL http|scgi|ajp|fcgi215 -q, --unquote unquote PATH_INFO (may be needed when using ajp)216 -- http10 use HTTP/1.0 protocol version instead of HTTP/1.1217 -- http11 use HTTP/1.1 protocol version (default)218 - e PARENTDIR, --env-parent-dir=PARENTDIR219 p arent directory of the project environments220 --base-path =BASE_PATH229 --protocol {http,https,scgi,ajp,fcgi} 230 the server protocol (default: http) 231 --certfile CERTFILE PEM certificate file for HTTPS 232 --keyfile KEYFILE PEM key file for HTTPS 233 -q, --unquote unquote PATH_INFO (may be needed when using the ajp 234 protocol) 235 --base-path BASE_PATH 221 236 the initial portion of the request URL's "path" 237 --http10 use HTTP/1.0 protocol instead of HTTP/1.1 238 --http11 use HTTP/1.1 protocol (default) 222 239 -r, --auto-reload restart automatically when sources are modified 223 -s, --single-env only serve a single project without the project list224 240 -d, --daemonize run in the background as a daemon 225 --pidfile =PIDFILE when daemonizing, file to which to write pid226 --umask =MASK when daemonizing, file mode creation mask to use, in227 octal notation (default 022)228 --group =GROUP the group to run as229 --user =USER the user to run as241 --pidfile PIDFILE file to write pid when daemonizing 242 --umask MASK when daemonizing, file mode creation mask to use, in 243 octal notation (default: 022) 244 --group GROUP the group to run as 245 --user USER the user to run as 230 246 }}} 231 247 … … 236 252 === Serving static content 237 253 238 If `tracd` is the only web server used for the project, 239 it can also be used to distribute static content 240 (tarballs, Doxygen documentation, etc.) 241 242 This static content should be put in the `$TRAC_ENV/htdocs` folder, 243 and is accessed by URLs like `<project_URL>/chrome/site/...`. 244 245 Example: given a `$TRAC_ENV/htdocs/software-0.1.tar.gz` file, 246 the corresponding relative URL would be `/<project_name>/chrome/site/software-0.1.tar.gz`, 247 which in turn can be written as `htdocs:software-0.1.tar.gz` (TracLinks syntax) or `[/<project_name>/chrome/site/software-0.1.tar.gz]` (relative link syntax). 254 If `tracd` is the only web server used for the project, it can also be used to distribute static content, such as tarballs, Doxygen documentation, etc. 255 256 This static content should be put in the `$TRAC_ENV/htdocs` folder, and is accessed by URLs like `<project_URL>/chrome/site/...`. 257 258 Example: given a `$TRAC_ENV/htdocs/software-0.1.tar.gz` file, the corresponding relative URL would be `/<project_name>/chrome/site/software-0.1.tar.gz`, which in turn can be written as `htdocs:software-0.1.tar.gz` (TracLinks syntax) or `[/<project_name>/chrome/site/software-0.1.tar.gz]` (relative link syntax). 248 259 249 260 === Using tracd behind a proxy … … 258 269 259 270 === Authentication for tracd behind a proxy 260 It is convenient to provide central external authentication to your tracd instances, instead of using `--basic-auth`.
