docker-git v0.1.3

Docker Git

A simple docker container for Git over SSH.

npm install
mkdir keys
mkdir hostkeys
mkdir repo
npm run docker:run:local

Create a key if you don't already have one:

ssh-keygen -t rsa

Copy public keys to keys/authorized_keys:

cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub >> keys/authorized_keys

Run the container:

npm run docker:run

Create a repo:

cd repo/
git init --bare test
# Give the git user from within the container permission to write to the new repo:
chmod -R 777 test
ls test/
cd ..

Clone it somewhere:

git clone ssh://git@localhost:8022/git/repo/test
cd test/

Make changes and push back:

vim README.md
git add -p
git add README.md
git commit -m "Initial commit"
git push  origin master

Note that you didn't need to do anything in the container. Internally, the container saves its SSH keys in the hostkeys directory you mounted into it and it reads the git user's SSH key from keys/authorized_keys. It shares the repo directory where repos are stored.

There is a sample docker-compose.yml in the repo that you can use in your setup. Replace the build line with the particular version of the image you want to use:

    image: thejimmyg/docker-git:xxx
