Compatibility

Platforms

• Windows with IIS (ASP.NET Core 10 Hosting Bundle) or Kestrel.
• Linux with Kestrel, e.g. in a container.
• Git must be installed; Gibbon Git Server uses git from the PATH or the path in Git:Executable.

Databases

• SQLite for simple setups.
• SQL Server by setting Database:Provider to SqlServer and a connection string.
• The database schema is migrated automatically on startup.

Updating existing installations

• Existing appsettings.json files keep working. Explicitly configured paths (RepositoryPath, Git:HomePath, SQLite Data Source) keep their meaning; see Data Directory.
• Stored passwords stay valid.
• After updating to a version that stores the keys for login cookies in the data directory, all users have to log in once.

Bonobo Git Server

Gibbon Git Server is a fork of Bonobo Git Server. A migration of the Bonobo database is not documented yet. Existing repositories can be copied into the repositories folder; they are picked up when the server starts.
