The :command:`serve-branches` script runs a standalone loggerhead server in
7
.. program:: serve-branches
14
serve-branches [OPTIONS] <target directory>
19
.. cmdoption:: --user-dirs
21
Serve user directories as ``~user`` (requires ``--trunk-dir``).
23

24
starts with "/~<name>", serve branches under the <name> directory.
26
.. cmdoption:: --trunk-dir=DIR
28
The directory that contains the trunk branches (requires ``--user-dirs``).
30
If both options are set, then for requests where the CGI ``PATH_INFO``
31
does not start with "/~<name>", serve branches under DIR.
35
Listen on the given port.

55
This option is intended for use when serving Loggerhead behind a
56
reverse proxy, with Loggerhead being "mounted" at a directory below
57
the root. E.g., if the reverse proxy translates requests for
58
``http://example.com/loggerhead`` onto the standalone Loggerhead process,
59
that process should be run with ``--prefix=/loggerhead``.
