Github is bad.

You should be looking at this repository on the upstream cgit repository or on codeberg instead.

cgit+caddy+gitolite on alpine in an oci runner

this is a fork of github.com:gregjbs/docker-gitolite-cgit, with substantial differences to upstream (patch)

it is built for git.estrogen.zone and is focused around it.

installation

1. copy .env.example to .env
2. replace the key with your ssh key
3. run podman compose up -d --build
4. rerun the above command without --build
5. enjoy

setup

to clone the admin repo, run git clone ssh://git@127.0.0.1:12222/gitolite-admin.

comparison to upstream

here's a partial comparison to upstream:

• we do not use apache, opting for caddy instead
• we have a compose.yml
• we use alpine's cgit & gitolite packages, instead of building them ourselves
• we have build targets for readme formatting and syntax highlighting
• we call it a containerfile because it's no longer a date between 2013 and 2019
• we do not mention docker in the repository name

however, we:

• try to keep a sensible cgitrc with minimal differences to upstream's
• only have minimal changes to the SSH coniguration
• do not modify the license to a more strict one, but rather only append to the authors section
