Install Git integration on a separate server

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

Log on to the server as root user always.

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

Install SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP2 and log in as root.
- See Platform specification for TeamForge 8.0 for the full platform requirements.
- See the SuSE Linux Enterprise Server deployment 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.
Configure your TeamForge 8.0 installation repository. See TeamForge installation repository configuration for SUSE.
Install the Git packages.
- zypper 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
```
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
