ephillipe/gitserver-http repository overview

⁠gitserver-http Build Status

A git server with Nginx as the HTTP frontend and fast cgi wrapper for running the git http backend

gitweb

⁠Usage

To run a git server without any repositories configured in advance but allowing them to be saved into ./repositories:

docker run \
  -d  \                                 # deamonize
  -v `pwd`/repositories:/var/lib/git \  # mount the volume
  -p "8080:80" \                        # expose the port 
  cirocosta/gitserver-http

Now, initialize a bare repository:

cd repositories
git init --bare repos/myrepo.git

and then, just clone it somewhere else:

cd /tmp
git clone http://localhost/repos/myrepo.git
cd myrepo
⁠Pre-Initialization

Git servers work with bare repositories. This image provides the utility of initializing some pre-configured repositories in advance. Just add them to /var/lib/git and then run the container with -init. For instance, having the tree:

.
└── repositories
└── initial
    └── initial
        └── repo1
            └── file.txt

and then executing

docker run \
  -d  \                                 # deamonize
  -v `pwd`/initial:/var/lib/initial \   # mount the initial volume
  -p "8080:80" \                        # expose the port 
  cirocosta/gitserver-http -start -init # start git server and init repositories

will allow you to skip the git init --bare step and start with the repositories pre-"installed" there:

git clone http://localhost/initial/repo1.git
cd repo1 && ls
# file.txt

⁠Example

to run the example:

make example

This will create a git server http service on :80. Now you can clone the sample repository:

git clone http://localhost/initial/repo1.git
