requests to other remote servers for load balancing, please consult the
README file for more information.
## Security and remote access
Indefero distinguishs between public and private projects and so does
the monotone plugin.
Public projects can be pulled by everybody and pushed by team members
or additional invited people. Remote command execution is enabled, but
only for read-only commands.
Remote commands can be helpful for a user or a 3rd party tool (like
[mtn-browse](http://mtn-browse.sourceforge.net) or
[guitone](http://guitone.thomaskeller.biz)) to browse the database
contents remotely without having to pull everything in first instance.
Private projects on the other hand can only be synced by team members
or additional invited people. Also noo remote command execution is enabled
by default.
## Notifications
If you have successfully set up your monotone instance, you probably want
to notify 3rd party systems for incoming changes or simply mirror them
somewhere else for backup purposes. The monotone source tree already comes
with [many example scripts and hooks](http://code.monotone.ca/p/monotone/source/tree/h:net.venge.monotone/contrib)
which serve these purposes, after only little additional configuration.
The usher/indefero-controlled setup automatically looks for a file called
`hooks.lua` in the project's base directory (configured via $cfg['mtn_repositories'])
and this is the ideal place to put or link these additional lua sources.
