Secure. Minimal. Correct — the sophia.host way to manage and publish code.

The following tools power sophia.host code publishing and revision platform, designed for security, performance, and architectural clarity. Together they provide a clean separation between public and private repositories, following the OpenBSD tradition of doing things the right way.

Visit git page to know how to use sophia.host git services.

git-daemon

The git-daemon service provides fast, anonymous read-only access to Git repositories over the native Git protocol. It’s used on OpenBSD to serve public code efficiently without requiring user authentication or complex setup.

Designed for speed and simplicity, ideal for public mirrors.
Integrates cleanly with OpenBSD’s secure, chrooted environments.
Upholds the OpenBSD philosophy of correctness and performance through minimal, well-audited code.

gitolite

Gitolite is a lightweight tool that securely manages access to Git repositories over SSH. It’s used on OpenBSD to ensure precise control of who can read or modify code while keeping the system lean and efficient.

Follows OpenBSD’s principles of minimalism and correctness.
Uses SSH keys for strong, proven authentication.
Delivers high performance with simple, auditable configuration.

cgit

Cgit is a fast, web-based viewer for Git repositories, serving only the public repositories stored in /var/git. It provides a clean HTTPS interface for browsing code hosted by git-daemon, without ever touching private Gitolite repositories.

Integrates seamlessly with OpenBSD’s chrooted web environment.
Keeps strict separation between public (/var/git) and private (/var/gitolite) repos.
Delivers high performance and clarity, matching OpenBSD’s design focus on simplicity, correctness, and transparency.
