Installation

1. Download latest gitbucket.war from the release page.
2. Deploy it to the Servlet 3.0 container such as Tomcat 7.x, Jetty 8.x, GlassFish 3.x or higher.
3. Access http://[hostname]:[port]/gitbucket/ using your web browser.

The default administrator account is root and password is root.

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]
• --host=[HOSTNAME]
• --https=true
• --gitbucket.home=[DATA_DIR]

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.

For Installation on Windows Server with IIS see this wiki page

On OS X, copy the gitbucket.plist file to ~/Library/LaunchAgents/

Run the following commands in Terminal to
