⁠Gitlab Shell Proxy

If you are using Gitlab inside a container, you can use this container to help you setting up a proxy for Gitlab shell (allowing git fetch, git push, ... commands).

⁠Setup

Steps:

• have a running instance of Gitlab inside a docker
• create an user (typically git) in the host
• generate a SSH key for this user
• add it in the Gitlab shell authorized_keys
• run the gitlab-shell-proxy container

⁠Create user

useradd -md /home/git git

⁠Generate SSH key

su git -c 'ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096'

⁠Add it in the Gitlab shell authorized_keys

sed -i -e '1i # gitlab-shell-proxy' -e "1i $(cat ~git/.ssh/id_rsa.pub)" gitlab/authorized_keys

⁠Run the gitlab-shell-proxy container

See Container section for docker-compose.yml examples and available configuration
