getdtk/docker-gitolite repository overview

⁠Docker image for Gitolite

This image allows you to run a git server in a container with OpenSSH and Gitolite⁠.

Based on Alpine Linux.

⁠Quick setup

Create volumes for your SSH server host keys and for your Gitolite config and repositories

• Docker >= 1.9

    docker volume create --name gitolite-sshkeys
    docker volume create --name gitolite-git
  

  Copy

• Docker < 1.9

    docker create --name gitolite-data -v /etc/ssh/keys -v /var/lib/git tianon/true
  

  Copy

Setup Gitolite with yourself as the administrator:

• Docker >= 1.10

    docker run --rm -e SSH_KEY="$(cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub)" -e SSH_KEY_NAME="$(whoami)" -v gitolite-sshkeys:/etc/ssh/keys -v gitolite-git:/var/lib/git jgiannuzzi/gitolite true
  

  Copy

• Docker == 1.9 (There is a bug in docker run --rm that removes volumes when removing the container)

    docker run --name gitolite-setup -e SSH_KEY="$(cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub)" -e SSH_KEY_NAME="$(whoami)" -v gitolite-sshkeys:/etc/ssh/keys -v gitolite-git:/var/lib/git jgiannuzzi/gitolite true
    docker rm gitolite-setup
  

  Copy

• Docker < 1.9

    docker run --rm -e SSH_KEY="$(cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub)" -e SSH_KEY_NAME="$(whoami)" --volumes-from gitolite-data jgiannuzzi/gitolite true
  

  Copy

Finally run your Gitolite container in the background:

• Docker >= 1.9

    docker run -d --name gitolite -p 22:22 -v gitolite-sshkeys:/etc/ssh/keys -v gitolite-git:/var/lib/git jgiannuzzi/gitolite
  

  Copy

• Docker < 1.9

    docker run -d --name gitolite -p 22:22 --volumes-from gitolite-data jgiannuzzi/gitolite
  

  Copy

You can then add users and repos by following the official guide⁠.
