<title>How To Configure A Fossil Server</title>
<h2>No Server Required</h2>
<blockquote>
Fossil does <em>not</em> require a central server.
Data sharing and synchronization can be entirely peer-to-peer.
Fossil uses [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conflict-free_replicated_data_type|conflict-free replicated data types]
to ensure that (in the limit) all participating peers see the exact same content.
</blockquote>
<h2>But, A Server Can Be Useful</h2>
<blockquote>
Fossil does not require a a server,
but a server does make collaboration easier.
A Fossil server also works well as a complete website for a project.
For example, the complete [https://www.fossil-scm.org/] website, including the
page you are now reading,
is just a Fossil server displaying the content of the
self-hosting repository for Fossil.
This article is a guide for setting up your own Fossil server.
