gavin

gavin is a self contained instance of Organice.

It combines a WebDAV server and the Organice assets into a single binary that can be run from virtually everywhere.

gavin can be used as a standalone webserver or placed behind a reverse proxy.

Features

• Built in WebDAV server with basic http authentication.
• Ability to serve over TLS using automatically managed ACME certificates.
• Reverse proxy friendly.

Generating a .htpasswd file

Please note: gavin expects the .htpasswd file to use bcrypt as the hashing algorithm!

OpenBSD

htpasswd .htpasswd $USER

Linux/macOS

htpasswd -B -c .htpasswd $USER

Example usage on local machine

Download gavin

Releases can be downloaded for common OSs here:

https://github.com/qbit/gavin/releases

Running

• Generate a .htpasswd file.
• Run gavin pointing it at your org files:

gavin -davdir ~/org

Now you log into gavin with the following settings:

URL: https://localhost:8080/dav Username: $USER Password: $YOURPASSWORD

Running in auto ACME mode

gavin -domain gavin.example.com -http $externalIP:443

If you would like to specify where gavin stores the certificates the -cache flag can be used.

By default gavin will listen on port 80 for ACME requests. This can be changed using the -alisten flag, however, note that ACME always sends requests over port 80, so you will need something that forwards requests onto gavin.
