Related question I can't seem to track down an answer to:
I have a 9front cluster which was set up back when Mercurial was used,
so that is what sysupdate is looking for.
I finally realized that I am no longer seeing updates because 9front
switched to git.
How does one go about upgrading an existing 9front install to pull
updates from git instead of hg?
When I try running the manual commands to pull from git it (logically)
complains that it is not a git repository, but I am not finding any
clear instructions on how to go about making this switch on an existing
install?

Quick question (or maybe not), but how are these being hosted? Is this done
on a cloud provider vm platform? Or is this being done in a traditional DC
using real hardware?
Just curious to know how this is being done because I would like to do
something similar.
Currently, it's hosted on vultr, but there are
a number of hosts that you can use.
As far as how it's actually done:
Git goes over git/serve in /rc/bin/service:
cpu% cat /rc/bin/service/tcp9418
#!/bin/rc
exec git/serve -r/usr/git
the '-r' path is implicitly prepended on to
any repositories that are cloned, so eg:
git/clone git://host.com/repo/path
clones
/usr/git/repo/path
The authenticated protocol, hjgit, is the same
as the unauthenticated git:// protocol, but with
'tlssrv -a' wrapping the connection to handle auth
and encryption. The '-w' flag on git/serve enables
writing to the repo.
cpu% cat /rc/bin/service/tcp17021
#!/bin/rc
exec tlssrv -a /bin/git/serve -wr/usr/git
Our encrypted 'gits://' extension is the same,
but with a cert, and its key in factotum:
cpu% cat /rc/bin/service/tcp9419
#!/bin/rc
exec tlssrv -c/sys/lib/tls/git/git.cert /bin/git/serve -r/usr/git
That gets you a fully functional git server,
that hosts its code in /usr/git.
The website is served using tcp80 and execfs:
cpu% cat /bin/cpurc.local
auth/none execfs -s git.execfs /sys/lib/tcp80/gitrules
cpu% cat /rc/bin/service/tcp80
#!/bin/rc
# some ns trickery to allow serving static data,
# we can probably clean this up.
bind /usr/web /mnt/static
mount /srv/git.execfs /usr/web
bind /mnt/static /usr/web/static
rfork n
exec /bin/tcp80
And the code for the web ui is more or less a modified
version of this code:

There's also a more minimal proof of concept that I
did before phil9 ran with it and improved it here:
http://shithub.us/ori/git9/HEAD/extra/gitls/f.html
It's less complete, but probably easier to read and
understand.
