Install a git server as a docker container

I have used an open source Git server project called Gogs (https://gogs.io/):

Pull image from Docker Hub

The command below will pull the latest gogs image from Dockerhub.

$> docker pull gogs/gogs

You can either let Gogs store its data on the host machine or inside the container.

Let Gogs store data on host machine

Create local directory for the docker volume:

$> mkdir -p /var/gogs

Now you're ready to start the Gogs image:

$> docker run --name=gogs -p 10022:22 -p 10080:3000 -v /var/gogs:/data gogs/gogs

The command will start a container from the gogs images named gogs with host port 10022 and 10080 mapped to internal ports 22 and 3000. The host directory /var/gogs is mounted to an internal directory called /data.

If you decided not to store Gogs data on the host machine, omit the '-v /var/gogs:/data'.

You can restart the container with:

$> docker start gogs

---

Setup Gogs

With a browser, navigate to: localhost:10080

To setup Gogs, select:

Database type: SQLite3

Application URL: http://localhost:10080/ !Port mapped to host machine was 10080

Admin account settings:

Username: gituser

Password: gituser

Admin email: [email protected]

Now you ready to finish the installation. Your default user will be gituser.

Create a git repository

Create a new git repository by pressing the + sign.

Name the repository aspnet-test.

Select .gitignore to c sharp.

Remember to check the Initialize this repo...

Cloning the repo to local drive

To clone the git repo, we use the http protocol and not the ssh cause git per default uses port 22.

$> git clone http://localhost:10080/gituser/aspnet-test.git

Adding sample project to Gogs

Now get the sample project from Github and copy it into your local git folder.

Add the files to git and push the changes.

$> git commit -am "first commit"
$> git push
