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

Docker < 1.9

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

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

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

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

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

Docker < 1.9

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

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