Docker image for Gitolite

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

Based on Alpine Linux.

Fork of https://github.com/jgiannuzzi/docker-gitolite. with updated Alpine Version

Quick setup

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

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

Setup Gitolite with yourself as the administrator:

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

Finally run your Gitolite container in the background:

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

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