NAME
bk Howto-bkd − howto: configuring the BitKeeper daemon

DESCRIPTION
Here are examples how to configure the bk daemon for both read-only and read-write modes. We show how to export all repositories on a system in both read-write and read-only mode and we show how to export only a specific repository in read-write and read-only mode.

# Configure BitKeeper daemon for read-only
# access for all repositories
bk bkd -d -xpush

# Configure BitKeeper daemon for read-write
# access for all repositories
bk bkd -d

# Access a specific repository when multiple
# ones are being exported
bk clone bk://host.domain/some/dir/master ˜/my_tree

# Configure a specific BitKeeper repository
# for read-write access
cd /master/repository
bk bkd -d -p6666 -xcd

# Configure a specific BitKeeper repository
# for read-only access
cd /master/repository
bk bkd -d -p4444 -xcd -xpush

# Access a repository bound to a specific port
bk clone bk://host.domain:6666 ˜/my_tree

With the BK/Web feature, you can use a web browser to access the bkd web interface. For example, to access the bkd above listening on port 6666, you can use the URL :

http://host.domain:6666/
