IMAGE_NAME default: "betacz/gitolite" CONTAINER_NAME default: "gitolite-server" PORT default: "2222" GIT_DATA_PATH default: "/opt/git" SSH_KEY_FILE default: "$HOME/.ssh/id_rsa.pub"
Example:
# run the container $ GIT_DATA_PATH=/var/data/git ./gitolite start # stop && remove the container $ ./gitolite stop && ./gitolite remove

Attention:
-
If you don't use your own ssh key, you can get the built-in private key by
docker logs gitolite
for admin user. -
You should create a directory for persistent Git repositories. This directory must have read/write permissions for current user.
-
The Git repositories directory you specify can also be a already exists gitolite repositories.
.rc file
You can customize the gitolite .rc
file by modify the /path/to/git/data/gitolite.rc
. This file will sync to ~/.gitolite.rc
when restart the container. So after change it you must run command like this:
$ ./gitolite stop && ./gitolite start
Container removed?
If the container accidentally removed by docker rm
or ./gitolite remove
. You can start it with the command as same as before. But you must force push the gitolite-admin
again.
Example:
$ GIT_DATA_PATH=/var/data/git ./gitolite start
$ cd ~/gitolite-admin && git push -f
