<title>CGI Script Configuration Options</title>
<h1>Summary</h1>
It is not necessary to have a central server in order to use Fossil.
But a central server can help a project run more smoothly by giving developers
a common point of rendezvous for syncing, and by providing a web-based
portal where developers and non-developers alike can learn about the
project and its current state.
Setting up a server using Fossil is easy.
A [./server.wiki|separate document] talks about four different methods for
setting up a Fossil server. One of those methods, and perhaps the most
popular is [./server.wiki#cgi|CGI]. CGI is the technique that the three
[./selfhost.wiki|self-hosting Fossil repositories] all use.
Setting up a Fossil server using CGI is mostly about writing a short
script (usually just 2 lines line) in the cgi-bin folder of an ordinary
web-browser. But there are a lot of extra options that can be added
to this script, to customize the configuration. This article descripts
those options.
