.. _md-rst: | ||||
Markdown or RST Rendering | ||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ | ||||
|RCE| can use `Markdown`_ or `reStructured Text`_ in commit message, | ||||
code review messages, and inline comments. To set the default to either, | ||||
select your preference from the drop-down menu on the | ||||
:menuselection:`Admin --> Settings --> Visual` page and select | ||||
:guilabel:`Save settings`. | ||||
.. _repo-stats: | ||||
Enabling Repository Statistics | ||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ | ||||
To enable |repo| statistics, use the following steps: | ||||
1. From the |RCE| interface, open | ||||
:menuselection:`Admin --> Repositories` and select | ||||
:guilabel:`Edit` beside the |repo| for which you wish to enable statistics. | ||||
2. Check the :guilabel:`Enable statistics` box, and select :guilabel:`Save` | ||||
.. _server-side-merge: | ||||
Enabling Server-side Merging | ||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ | ||||
To enable server-side merging, use the following steps: | ||||
1. From the |RCE| interface, open :menuselection:`Admin --> Settings --> VCS` | ||||
2. Check the :guilabel:`Server-side merge` box, and select | ||||
:guilabel:`Save Settings` | ||||
If you encounter slow performance with server-side merging enabled, check the | ||||
speed at which your server is performing actions. When server-side merging is | ||||
enabled, the following actions occurs on the server. | ||||
* A |pr| is created in the database. | ||||
* A shadow |repo| is created as a working environment for the |pr|. | ||||
* On display, |RCE| checks if the |pr| can be merged. | ||||
To check how fast the shadow |repo| creation is occurring on your server, use | ||||
the following steps: | ||||
1. Log into your server and create a directory in your |repos| folder. | ||||
2. Clone a |repo| that is showing slow performance and time the action. | ||||
.. code-block:: bash | ||||
# One option is to use the time command | ||||
$ time hg clone SOURCE_REPO TARGET | ||||
.. _remap-rescan: | ||||
Remap and Rescan Repositories | ||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ | ||||
You may want to Remap and rescan the |repos| that |RCE| is managing to ensure | ||||
the system is always up-to-date. This is useful after importing, deleting, | ||||
or carrying out general cleaning up operations. To do this use the | ||||
following steps: | ||||
1. From the |RCE|, open | ||||
:menuselection:`Admin --> Settings --> Remap and rescan` | ||||
2. Click :guilabel:`Rescan Repositories` | ||||
Check the additional options if needed: | ||||
* :guilabel:`Destroy old data`: Useful for purging deleted repository | ||||
information from the database. | ||||
* :guilabel:`Invalidate cache for all repositories`: Use this to completely | ||||
remap all |repos|. Useful when importing or migrating |repos| to ensure all | ||||
new information is picked up. | ||||
.. _custom-hooks: | ||||
Adding Custom Hooks | ||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ | ||||
To add custom hooks to your instance, use the following steps: | ||||
1. Open :menuselection:`Admin --> Settings --> Hooks` | ||||
2. Add your custom hook details, you can use a file path to specify custom | ||||
hook scripts, for example: ``python:/path/to/custom_hook.py`` | ||||
3. Select :guilabel:`Save` | ||||
Also, see the |RC| Extensions section of the :ref:`rc-tools` guide. |RC| | ||||
Extensions can be used to add additional hooks to your instance and comes | ||||
with a number of pre-built plugins if you chose to install them. | ||||
.. _clear-repo-cache: | ||||
Clearing |repo| cache | ||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ | ||||
If you need to clear the cache for a particular |repo|, use the following steps: | ||||
1. Open :menuselection:`Admin --> Repositories` and select :guilabel:`Edit` | ||||
beside the |repo| whose cache you wish to clear. | ||||
2. On the |repo| settings page, go to the :guilabel:`Caches` tab and select | ||||
:guilabel:`Invalidate repository cache`. | ||||
.. _set-lang: | ||||
Changing Default Language | ||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ | ||||
To change the default language of a |RCE| instance, change the language code | ||||
in the :file:`/home/{user}/.rccontrol/{instance-id}/rhodecode.ini` file. To | ||||
do this, use the following steps. | ||||
1. Open the :file:`rhodecode.ini` file and set the required language code. | ||||
.. code-block:: ini | ||||
## Optional Languages | ||||
## en(default), de, fr, it, ja, pl, pt, ru, zh | ||||
lang = de | ||||
2. Restart the |RCE| instance and check that the language has been updated. | ||||
.. code-block:: bash | ||||
$ rccontrol restart enterprise-2 | ||||
Instance "enterprise-2" successfully stopped. | ||||
Instance "enterprise-2" successfully started. | ||||

.. _set-repo-pub: | ||||
Setting Repositories to Publish | ||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ | ||||
To automatically promote your local |repos| to public after pushing to |RCE|, | ||||
enable the :guilabel:`Set repositories as publishing` option on the | ||||
:menuselection:`Admin --> Settings --> VCS` page. | ||||
.. note:: | ||||
This option is enabled by default on most |RCE| versions, but if upgrading | ||||
from a 1.7.x version it could be disabled on upgrade due to inheriting | ||||
older default settings. | ||||
.. _ping: | ||||
Pinging the |RCE| Server | ||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ | ||||
You can check the IP Address of your |RCE| instance using the | ||||
following URL: ``{instance-URL}/_admin/ping``. | ||||
.. code-block:: bash | ||||
$ curl https://your.rhodecode.url/_admin/ping | ||||
pong[rce-7880] => 203.0.113.23 | ||||
