#Gitolite on docker

⁠How to run

There are two methods to run this image.

1. Use docker run directly. Example:

    $ docker run -d -p 2222:22 --name gitolite -e SSH_KEY="$(cat  ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub)"  -v /path/to/git/data:/home/git/repositories  betacz/gitolite
    
   

   Copy

2. Use the gitolite script from the GitHub Project⁠.

   This script contains the following variables. You can change them by modifying this file or by use the environment variable to override.

    IMAGE_NAME			default: "betacz/gitolite"
    CONTAINER_NAME  	default: "gitolite-server"
    PORT                default: "2222"
    GIT_DATA_PATH       default: "/opt/git"
    SSH_KEY_FILE        default: "$HOME/.ssh/id_rsa.pub"
   

   Copy

   Example:

    # run the container
    $ GIT_DATA_PATH=/var/data/git ./gitolite start
    # stop && remove the container
    $ ./gitolite stop && ./gitolite remove
   

   Copy

   The user running the script must be a member of the group docker. Otherwise, you need to modify this script and prepend sudo to the appropriate command.

Attention:

• If you don't use your own ssh key, you can get the built-in private key by docker logs gitolite for admin user.

• You should create a directory for persistent Git repositories. This directory must have read/write permissions for current user.

• The Git repositories directory you specify can also be a already exists gitolite repositories.

⁠.rc file

You can customize the gitolite .rc file by modify the /path/to/git/data/gitolite.rc. This file will sync to ~/.gitolite.rc when restart the container. So after change it you must run command like this:

   $ ./gitolite stop && ./gitolite start

⁠Container removed?

If the container accidentally removed by docker rm or ./gitolite remove . You can start it with the command as same as before. But you must force push the gitolite-admin again.

Example:

   $ GIT_DATA_PATH=/var/data/git ./gitolite start
   $ cd ~/gitolite-admin && git push -f

⁠Build your own image

Clone the source code and run:

   $ docker build -t gitolite .
