I spent some time today getting my QNAP NAS to serve mercurial repositories. My main motivation for this is that I like to create cheap copies of my projects and tinker around, then push them back to the main repository containing only the pertinent changes. I could, of course, have done this with Subversion but I like the challenge. And of course, prefer mercurial.
The steps involved seem to be poorly documented across the web,
mercurial talaria fg, so the following is a fuller (though still rough) list of what I had to do to get things working. Your mileage may vary, as the saying goes.
ssh to your NAS, and use ipkg:
ipkg install py26-mercurial create your repository area, e.g.:
mkdir -p /share/Public/repositories/
mercurial cd into this folder and create a shell script called reset_permissions.sh to reset permissions:
chgrp -R everyone *
chmod go+wx *
chmod go+wx */.hg
chmod -R g+rw * Find and edit your apache.conf file, e.g. in /etc/config/apache/apache.conf,

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /share/Qweb/cgi-bin/
<Directory "/share/Qweb/cgi-bin"> AllowOverride None Options ExecCGI SetHandler cgi-script AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl .py Order allow,deny Allow from all
</Directory> Also add at the bottom:
Include /etc/config/apache/hg/main.conf Create and edit: /etc/config/apache/hg/main.conf,

The last issue to address is that you can’t actually create remote repositories via http,
mercurial vapor sl, so you need to do the following step each time for a new repository:
mkdir -p /share/Public/repositories/mercurial/repo1
cd /share/Public/repositories/mercurial/repo1
hg init
cd ..
reset_permissions.sh
and you should be done.
You should now be able to see and a list of repositories (in this case just ‘repo1′).
If you have an existing repository on your local desktop, create it with the same name on the NAS, following the steps above, then edit your local .hg/hgrc file to contain:
[paths]
default=
Then hg push, and your repository should be safely stored on your NAS.
Presumably these steps will work for other server configurations, subject to changing some of the paths in some of the steps.
[Update - fixed some typos, and moved the cgi-bin location to the raid section of the NAS where the rest of the web pages are hosted from.]
