gitolite container

Gitolite Docker

Gitolite container Install

• clone this repository: git clone https://github.com/eviweb/gitolite-docker.git
• add your ssh public key in gitolite-docker/.user-keys directory if needed, otherwise a default key will be generated and named as the value of the $USER environment variable
• run the build file gitolite-docker/build

This will build an image named gitolite-docker

SSH Configuration

In order to use a container as a gitolite server, you need to configure your ssh client. This is done by adding some settings in you ssh configuration file: ~/.ssh/config

As an example:

we assume that:

• the username is: user
• gitolite-docker repository was cloned under: ~/gitolite-docker
• the ssh configuration file is: ~/.ssh/config
• the ssh port will be mapped to the local port: 2222
• no personal ssh public key was provided, so the ssh key to use is: ~/gitolite-docker/.user-keys/user

Host gitolite-docker
	Port 2222
	Hostname localhost
	User git
	IdentityFile ~/gitolite-docker/.user-keys/user.pub

Create a container

To serve gitolite

Run the command: docker run -d -p 2222:22 --name=gitolite-docker -ti gitolite-docker:latest

This will create a container named gitolite-docker.

Then you should be able to clone the gitolite-admin repository by running: git clone git@gitolite-docker:gitolite-admin -- You should be prompted to valid the server ssh key during the first connection

To run a command

Run the command: docker run --name=gitolite-test-runner gitolite-docker:latest "YOUR QUOTED COMMAND" where "YOUR QUOTED COMMAND" is the command to run... Between quotes !

Example: docker run --name=gitolite-test-runner gitolite-docker:latest "cd gitolite && GITOLITE_TEST=y prove" which will run all gitolite tests.
