The Git Instance settings page allows you to integrate Git source control with your IguanaX instance. All Iguana configurations and settings are stored in a Git repository that you define.

Connecting IguanaX to a Git repository enables:

  • Tracking Configuration Changes: View the Commit History to monitor changes across your IguanaX instance.

  • Automatic Backups: Regularly back up your instance to a Git repository for safe storage.

 1. Connect the IguanaX instance to a Git repository to store all configurations.

Connect IguanaX to a Git repository to store all instance configurations.

  1. Configure the Git Instance: To add an instance repository, click Edit and either provide an existing repository URL or create a new repository in the Repository Management Screen.

  2. Manually Backup your Iguana: Use the git push button to manually perform a git push to push changes from the IguanaX instance to the Git repository. This is useful when you want to ensure immediate backup of the current state of your instance.

 2. Configure Iguana to automatically backup the instance

IguanaX can automatically create Git commits when certain actions are taken (such as deleting components) to ensure regular snapshots of your instance’s configurations. You can set an interval in minutes for automatic Git pushes to back up changes. If set to 0, auto-backups are disabled.

 3. Define the Iguana User to perform the push/pull updates from the repository

Define the user with the appropriate permissions to push changes from the configured Git repository. This ensures that your IguanaX instance can securely interact with the repository.
