GitBlit Master Slave Replication Setup

Step 1#
#In Master GIT Server[Master URL http://git.example.net:1337]


vim /opt/gitblit/data/gitblit.properties
# Modify or Add lines as below
git.enableGitServlet = true
web.showFederationRegistrations = true
federation.passphrase = p@$$w0rd [We can set anything here]
:wq!
#ps aux | grep java
#service gitblit stop
#ps aux | grep java
#service gitblit start
Step 2#
Login to http://git.example.net:1337
Click on Admin Profile-->federation-->Copy the federation tokens for "all repositories, users, & settings"
(Example: Here token is c12b82e1b5e0ba6baec48119468aa09595663164)
Step 3#
#Install Fresh GitBlit Server
#Go to Slave GIT Server
vim /opt/gitblit/data/gitblit.properties
#Modify Or Add lines as below
federation.allowProposals=true
federation.example1.url = http://git.example.net:1337
federation.example1.token = c12b82e1b5e0ba6baec48119468aa09595663164 [Paste the token copied from Master GIT]
federation.example.frequency = 5 mins [Replication frequency between Master and Backup Slave]
federation.example.folder =
federation.example.bare = true
federation.example.mirror = true
federation.example.mergeAccounts = true
#ps aux | grep java
#service gitblit stop
#ps aux | grep java
#service gitblit start
Step 4#
#Monitor the log file in both the Master & Slave Servers
tail -f /opt/gitblit/data/logs/gitblit.log
Successful Logs Example:
Master:
[INFO ] ARF: lendingstream.git/info/refs?service=git-upload-pack (100) authenticated [Here lendingstream.git Repo name, like wise will get for all Repo]
[INFO ] Federation PULL_USERS request from SLAVE_IP
[INFO ] Federation PULL_TEAMS request from SLAVE_IP
[INFO ] Federation PULL_SETTINGS request from SLAVE_IP
[INFO ] Federation PULL_SCRIPTS request from SLAVE_IP
Slave:
