Installation

1. Download latest gitbucket.war from the release page.
2. Deploy it to the Servlet 3.0 container such as Tomcat 7.x, Jetty 8.x, GlassFish 3.x or higher.
3. Access http://[hostname]:[port]/gitbucket/ using your web browser.

The default administrator account is root and password is root.

or you can start GitBucket by java -jar gitbucket.war without servlet container. In this case, GitBucket URL is http://[hostname]:8080/. You can specify following options.

• --port=[NUMBER]
• --prefix=[CONTEXTPATH]
• --host=[HOSTNAME]
• --https=true

To upgrade GitBucket, only replace gitbucket.war. All GitBucket data is stored in HOME/gitbucket. So if you want to back up GitBucket data, copy this directory to the other disk.

For Installation on Windows Server with IIS see this wiki page
