gitosis

Install gitosis (server side)
>git clone git://eagain.net/gitosis.git
>cd gitosis >sudo python setup.py install

add user 'git' (server side)
>sudo adduser git
>sudo passwd git

generate a admin public key (from client side) and put on server side
the key is put on /home/git/id_rsa.pub

Initialize gitosis (server side)
>su git

>cd /home/git

>gitosis-init < id_rsa.pub

>rm id_rsa.pub

Now we must set some directory and file permissions to let sshd see the new authorized_keys file.

>chmod 755 /home/git
>chmod 700 /home/git/.ssh
>chmod 644 /home/git/.ssh/authorized_keys


Make sure post-update is executeable

I was still getting the ERROR:gitosis.serve.main:Repository read access denied problem after rechecking everything that was said here. I finally found the answer on stackoverflow. Make sure your repositories/gitosis-admin.git/hooks/post-update is executable. Enjoy

prevent "ERROR:gitosis.serve.main:Repository read access denied"

clone gitosis from server (client side)
>git clone git@server.com:gitosis-admin.git

edit gitosis.conf
>cd gitosis-admin
>vim gitosis.conf
(refer following link to modify conf file)
