Image: marq/gitlab-ce-subgit
GitLab's Community Edition, with SubGit v3.2.5 installed.
All of GitLab's Docker-related documentation remains valid; the only difference compared to the official Docker image(s) provided by GitLabHQ is that this image contains an installation of SubGit, a tool for migrating and even mirroring subversion and git source code repositories. In addition, one more volume (/etc/subgit
) is exposed, allowing to store SubGit related things like a license key.
Subgit's SVN to Gitlab Howto is a worthwhile read.
/etc/gitlab
: Configuration of the GitLab server
/var/opt/gitlab
: Repositories
/var/log/gitlab
: Logfiles
/etc/subgit
: Location for subgit.key (if available; SubGit will find it there)
/etc/cron.d
: Location for cron jobs (e.g., backups; see below)
For GitLab itself, see http://doc.gitlab.com/omnibus/docker/.
For SubGit and Gitlab, see http://www.subgit.com/gitlab.html.
In contrast to the original image, the cron daemon is also launched when starting up GitLab. This allows processing of cron jobs added to /etc/cron.d.
Note that the tag :latest
is automatically build from the official GitLab repository; whenever GitlabHQ decides to push a new (even experimental) image. I handle versioned tags manually, based on officially tagged images as available in the Official GitLab repository. Should I forget to update, please raise a ticket at github. Thanks!
Starting with the image for v8.11 of GitLab, the SubGit included in this image is at v3.2.2. For a while, I was maintaining an alternate image with the older v3.0.0 of SubGit included. The images can be distinguished by their tags, e.g.:
gitlab-ce-subgit:8.11.0-ce.0: GitLab v8.11.0 (CE), SubGit v3.2.2
gitlab-ce-subgit:8.11.0-ce.0-3.0.0: GitLab v8.11.0 (CE), SubGit v3.0.0
Since September 2016, v3.0.0. of SubGit is no longer available; hence, versions after v8.11.2 are available with the then current SubGit version. Starting with GitLab v9.0, SubGit is at v3.2.5.
The :latest
image is also using SubGit v3.2.5.
Bertrand Roussel provides at standalone Docker image (corfr/subgit | Github) for an alternative approach to use SubGit with (in fact any) dockerized git repository servers.
