NAME

       kup-server - kernel.org upload server utility

DESCRIPTION

       The program kup-server is expected to be the receiver of an ssh shell, configured with the
       following or similar options in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys:

              command="/usr/bin/kup-server",no-agent-forwarding,no-port-forwarding,no-pty,no-
              user-rc,no-X11-forwarding ssh-rsa AAAA[...]

       Each  user  should have their own UID, as Unix user permissions are used for specific tree
       access control. On the client side, a corresponding client-side utility  kup  is  used  to
       initiate the connection and perform the uploads.

GLOBAL CONFIG

       The  configuration  file  for kup-server is located in /etc/kup/kup-server.cfg and has the
       following options:

       [paths]
              All paths in this section should be disjoint. Do not combine any of them  into  one
              directory.

       data_path = /var/lib/kup/pub
              Path for public consumption, e.g. served via http or rsync.

       git_path = /var/cache/git
              This  is  the  path  where  git trees (for the TAR and DIFF options) are available.
              Those should be readonly for the uploaders.

       lock_file = /run/kup/lock
              A common lock file  for  data_path.   No  program  should  modify  the  content  in
              data_path  without  holding  an  flock  on  this  file.  Should be readonly for the
              uploaders.

       tmp_path = /var/cache/kup/tmp/
              tmp_path can be either:

              1. a directory writable by every user and with the sticky bit set  (typically  mode
              1777 or 1770).  In that case, DO NOT end the path with a slash, or:

              2.  A  directory containing an empty directory for each user (named for that user),
              owned by that user and mode 0700. In this case, DO end the path with a slash.

              In either case, this directory tree MUST be on the same  filesystem  as  data_path,
              since  the  script  expects tocreate files in this directory and rename() them into
              data_path.

       pgp_path = /var/lib/kup/pgp
              A directory containing a GnuPG public keyring for each user, named  <user>.gpg  and
              readable (but not writable) by that user.

       [limits]
              All sizes are in bytes, all times in seconds.

       max_data = 8589934592
              Max size of uploaded data.

       bufsiz = 262144
              Buffer size when reading data.

       timeout_command = 30
              How long to wait for a command to time out.

       timeout_data = 300
              Must read at least bufsiz bytes in this timespan.

       timeout_compress = 900
              Uncompressing tarballs must take at most this long.

       timeout_compress_cpu = 900
              Each compression command must take at most this long in CPU time.
