Web server with chunked encoding

Large Git pushes do however require a http server with support for chunked encoding for POST.

The Python web servers waitress and gunicorn (linux only) can be used. By default, Kallithea uses waitress for paster serve instead of the built-in paste WSGI server.

The default paste server is controlled in the .ini file:

use = egg:waitress#main

or:

use = egg:gunicorn#main

Also make sure to comment out the following options:

threadpool_workers =
threadpool_max_requests =
use_threadpool =

Disabling Git

You can always disable git/hg support by editing a file kallithea/__init__.py and commenting out the backend.

BACKENDS = {
    'hg': 'Mercurial repository',
    #'git': 'Git repository',
}
