## git-annex as service on windows
|
|
|
|
Use nssm to run git-annex as a service. Will need to include it in the
|
|
git-annex bundle.
|
|
|
|
Problem: nssm runs git-annex as a service as a LocalService user. (Or some
|
|
similar user.) This leads to permission problems, when the normal user
|
|
tries to write to its directory.
|
|
|
|
Solution: Make `git-annex mkservice $repo` command (only avilable on
|
|
Windows) that does:
|
|
|
|
1. git -c core.sharedRepository=true init $repo
|
|
2. cd $repo; git annex init
|
|
4. chmod 777 -R $repo
|
|
5. Add $repo to C:\.config\git-annex\autostart
|
|
6. If git-annex service does not yet exist in nssm, set it up and start it.
|
|
|
|
**Problem**: With 2 users writing to one repository, files and subdirs
|
|
will end up owned by git-annex or by the desktop user, and the other user
|
|
won't be able to eg, edit a file or remove a file from a directory.
|
|
|
|
Make git-annex read `C:\.config\git-annex\autostart`
|
|
on Windows, in addition to the one in $HOME. This way, `git annex assistant
|
|
--autostart` and `git annex webapp` will use it, no matter which user.
