NAME

       git-annex-webapp - launch webapp

SYNOPSIS

       git annex webapp

DESCRIPTION

       Opens  a  web  app,  that  allows  easy  setup  of  a  git-annex repository, and control of the git-annex
       assistant. If the assistant is not already running, it will be started.

       By default, the webapp can only be accessed from localhost, and running it opens a browser window.

OPTIONS

       --listen=address

              Useful for using the webapp on a remote computer. This makes the webapp listen  on  the  specified
              address.

              This disables running a local web browser, and outputs the url you can use to open the webapp.

              Set annex.listen in the git config to make the webapp always listen on an address.

USING HTTPS

       When using the webapp on a remote computer, you'll almost certainly want to enable HTTPS. The webapp will
       use HTTPS if it finds a .git/annex/privkey.pem and .git/annex/certificate.pem. Here's one way to generate
       those files, using a self-signed certificate:

        openssl genrsa -out .git/annex/privkey.pem 4096
        openssl req -new -x509 -key .git/annex/privkey.pem > .git/annex/certificate.pem
