Install Git integration on a separate server

In this option, we install the GIT integration services on a separate server.

In this option, the following service runs on the Git server (we call this my.git.host).

GIT Integration Server

Note: For the ETL service to run as expected in a distributed TeamForge installation, all servers must have the same time zone.

Log on to the server as root user always.

Do this on the Git server. We'll call this my.git.host.

Install Red Hat Enterprise Linux/CentOS 7.0 or later versions and log in as root.
- The host must be registered with the Red Hat Network if you are using Red Hat Enterprise Linux. See Platform specification for TeamForge 8.0 for the full platform requirements.
- See the Red Hat installation guide for help.
Important: Don't customize your installation. Select only the default packages list.
Check your basic networking setup. See Set up networking for your TeamForge server for details.
If the Git server has SELinux enabled, disable it temporarily while installing or upgrading Git.
1. Verify if SELinux is running in enforcing mode.
  - getenforce
2. If the output of the getenforce command is either "Disabled" or "Permissive", SELinux is already disabled.
3. If not disabled, run the following command to disable SELinux.
  - setenforce 0
Upgrade the operating system packages.
- yum upgrade
Reboot the server.
- reboot
Configure your TeamForge 8.0 installation repository. See TeamForge installation repository configuration for Red Hat/CentOS.
Install the Git packages.
- yum install teamforge-git
Configure the token settings for Git in the site-options.conf file.
- vi /opt/collabnet/teamforge-installer/8.0.0.1/conf/site-options.conf
1. Modify the host token settings.
  Note: If you choose not to use the application server's site-options.conf file, then don't forget to copy the value of AUTO_DATA token from the application server.
```
HOST_my.git.host=gerrit
```
```
DOMAIN_my.git.host=my.git.domain.com
```
```
HOST_my.app.domain.com=app database datamart etl indexer subversion cvs binary
```
2. To enable the history protection feature of TeamForge Git integration, set the GERRIT_FORCE_HISTORY_PROTECTION=true. For more information, see GERRIT_FORCE_HISTORY_PROTECTION.
3. Turn on the SSL for your site by editing the relevant variables in the site-options.conf file. To generate the SSL certificates, see Generate SSL certificates.
  - ```
  SSL=on
```
- ```
SSL_CERT_FILE
```
  - ```
  SSL_KEY_FILE
```
- ```
SSL_CA_CERT_FILE
```
  - ```
  SSL_CHAIN_FILE
```
Note: The SSL_CA_CERT_FILE and SSL_CHAIN_FILE are optional.
4. Make sure the PostgreSQL tokens in the site-options.conf file are set as recommended in the following topic: What are the right PostgreSQL settings for my site?
5. Save the site-options.conf file.
Recreate the runtime environment.
- cd /opt/collabnet/teamforge-installer/8.0.0.1
- ./install.sh -r -I -V
Run the TeamForge post installation script. For more information, see post-install.py.
- /opt/collabnet/teamforge/runtime/scripts/post-install.py
