<p>The web interface of hg-review is probably what you’re going to use the most.</p>
<div class="section" id="running-locally">
<h2>Running Locally<a class="headerlink" href="#running-locally" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>To start the web interface for a local repository that you want to review you
can run <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">hg</span> <span class="pre">review</span> <span class="pre">--web</span></tt>. Visit <a class="reference external" href="http://localhost:8080/">http://localhost:8080/</a> to use it.</p>
<p>When you add comments or signoffs hg-review will use your normal Mercurial
username as the author.</p>
<p>This command can take a few extra options:</p>
<dl class="docutils">
<dt><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">--address</span> <span class="pre">ADDRESS</span></tt></dt>
<dd><p class="first">The address to bind to. Use <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">0.0.0.0</span></tt> if you want other people to be able
to access it.</p>
<p><strong>Be careful!</strong> Because the web interface uses your Mercurial username by
default, binding to <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">0.0.0.0</span></tt> will let anyone add comments and signoffs
in your name! You’ll probably want to use the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">--read-only</span></tt> option to
prevent this.</p>
<p class="last">Default: <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">127.0.0.1</span></tt></p>
</dd>
<dt><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">--port</span> <span class="pre">PORT</span></tt></dt>
<dd><p class="first">The port to listen on.</p>
<p class="last">Default: <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">8080</span></tt></p>
</dd>
<dt><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">--read-only</span></tt></dt>
<dd><p class="first">Run the server in read-only mode. This will not allow data to be pushed or
pulled, comments to be made or signoffs to be added.</p>
<p>This can be useful when combined with <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">--address</span></tt> to let other people
view the UI without letting them add comments in your name.</p>
<p class="last">Default: <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">false</span></tt></p>
</dd>
<dt><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">--allow-anon</span></tt></dt>
<dd><p class="first">Allow comments (not not signoffs) to be added even if <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">--read-only</span></tt> is
used, and set the username to <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Anonymous</span> <span class="pre"><anonymous@example.com></span></tt> instead
of your Mercurial username.</p>
<p>This option is most useful when you’re deploying a permanent web interface
to a server and want to allow anonymous viewers to add comments. See the
<a class="reference internal" href="#deployment"><em>Deployment to a Server</em></a> section for more information.</p>
<p class="last">Default: <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">false</span></tt></p>

<p>Although hg-review is built for <em>distributed</em> code review it’s sometimes nice
to provide a public interface. This will let people can comment easily without
using the extension (or even cloning your project).</p>
<p>You can use any WSGI server you like to provide a public instance of hg-review.
Before you start you’ll need to have Mercurial installed on your web server.</p>
<p>Once you’ve got Mercurial running on the server you’ll need to clone copies of
hg-review, your project, and your project’s review data to the web server.
First create a directory where everything will live:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>mkdir /var/www/myproject-review-interface/
cd /var/www/myproject-review-interface/</pre>
</div>
<p>Then grab a copy of hg-review:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>hg clone http://bitbucket.org/sjl/hg-review/</pre>
</div>
<p>Grab a copy of your project and configure it to use the hg-review extension:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>hg clone http://bitbucket.org/you/yourproject/
cd yourproject
echo '[extensions]' >> .hg/hgrc
echo 'review = /var/www/myproject-review-interface/hg-review/review' >> .hg/hgrc</pre>
</div>
<p>Use hg-review to pull down the review data:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>hg review --init</pre>
</div>
<p>Now that you’ve got all the necessary data you can set up the WSGI script.
Start by copying the included sample script:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>cd /var/www/myproject-review-interface/
cp hg-review/contrib/deploy/wsgi.py wsgi.py</pre>
</div>
<p>Edit the script to configure your project to your liking. For reference, the
relevant part of the script should look something like this:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="c"># An example WSGI script for serving hg-review's web UI.</span>
<span class="c"># Edit as necessary.</span>
<span class="c"># If hg-review is not on your webserver's PYTHONPATH, uncomment the lines</span>
<span class="c"># below and point it at the hg-review directory.</span>
<span class="kn">import</span> <span class="nn">sys</span>
<span class="n">sys</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">path</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">insert</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="mi">0</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="s">"/var/www/myproject-review-interface/hg-review"</span><span class="p">)</span>
<span class="n">REPO</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="s">'/var/www/myproject-review-interface/myproject'</span>
<span class="n">READ_ONLY</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="bp">True</span>
<span class="n">ALLOW_ANON_COMMENTS</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="bp">False</span>
<span class="n">ANON_USER</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="s">'Anonymous <anonymous@example.com>'</span>
<span class="n">SITE_ROOT</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="s">'http://yoursite.com/optional/path'</span>
<span class="n">TITLE</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="s">'Your Project'</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>All that’s left is to point your WSGI server at this script and fire it up. How
you do that depends on your WSGI server. A sample configuration file for
<a class="reference external" href="http://gunicorn.org/">Gunicorn</a> is provided in
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">contrib/deploy/gunicorn.conf.py</span></tt>.</p>
