Gerrit
Gerrit
Gerrit is a free, web-based collaborative code review tool that integrates with Git. It has been developed at Google by Shawn Pearce (co-author of Git, founder of JGit) for the development of the Android project.
Starting from a set of patches for Rietveld, it became a fork and evolved into a full blown project when ACL patches wouldn't be merged into Rietveld by its author, Guido van Rossum.
Originally written in Python like Rietveld, it is now written in Java (Java EE Java Servlet) with SQL since version 2.
Installation
Gerrit installation and configuration is complicated so it will be described as detailed as it possible.
Prerequisites
By-default gerrit use HB database, but MySQL also supported and we will use it. Also, Java is required (already installed).
For demo we install MySQL on the same server but of course it is possible to use external MySQL / Postres /Oracle
Also git is required for gerrit
Install git
apt-get install git git-man git-review liberror-perl
Install MySQL
apt-get install mysql-server-5.6 mysql-common-5.6 mysql-client-core-5.6 mysql-client-5.6 mysql-source-5.6 mysql-testsuite-5.6
Configure empty root password. (for demo only!)
Check MySQL
# mysql Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g. Your MySQL connection id is 44 Server version: 5.6.28-0ubuntu0.14.04.1 (Ubuntu) Copyright (c) 2000, 2015, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.

Type '\c' to clear the current input statement. mysql>
deb package
First step is get deb package for ubuntu and install it.
Deb package is configured in wrong way, so we need only install is, stop gerrit service and configure it before continue.
- Download gerrit deb package
wget http://deb.gerritforge.com/dists/gerrit/contrib/binary-amd64/gerrit-2.11.8-1.noarch.deb
- Install downloaded package.
dpkg -i gerrit-2.11.8-1.noarch.deb
- Remove data from $site_dir.
By-default installer use /var/gerrit as $site_dir, but can be changed in /etc/default/gerritcodereview file
cat /etc/default/gerritcodereview GERRIT_SITE=/var/gerrit
deb installer creates and initialized gerrit with wrong parameter, so we need to delete all folders except bin
cd /var/gerrit
ls -1
bin cache data db etc git index lib logs plugins static tmp
