Installation

1. Download latest gitbucket.war from the release page.
2. Deploy it to the servlet container such as Tomcat or Jetty.
3. Access http://[hostname]:[port]/gitbucket/ using your web browser.

The default administrator account is root and password is root.

(Since 1.6) or you can start GitBucket by java -jar gitbucket.war without servlet container. In this case, GitBucket URL is http://[hostname]:8080/. You can specify following options.

• --port=[NUMBER]
• --prefix=[CONTEXTPATH]

To upgrade GitBucket, only replace gitbucket.war. All GitBucket data is stored in HOME/gitbucket. So if you want to back up GitBucket data, copy this directory to the other disk.
