In this post, I'll talk about how we can setup CGit within a docker-compose setup. We'll be using the [ClearLinux CGit](https://hub.docker.com/r/clearlinux/cgit) container.
|
||||
|
||||
## Configuring Apache Webserver
|
||||
|
||||
Within the CGit container, an apache webserver is setup to execute the CGit CGI scripts. This configuration is very similar to the [default one](https://github.com/clearlinux/dockerfiles/blob/256680f7c6be8423081e67153de0bff1206f6b63/cgit/httpd-cgit.conf) provided by ClearLinux. However, the default holds your repositories in the `/cgit` subfolder as I wanted it on the root `/` folder.
|
||||
|
||||
/etc/httpd-cgit.conf
|
||||
|
||||
```apache
|
||||
ServerName localhost
|
||||
|
||||
# Next two lines changed for new document root
|
||||
DocumentRoot /var/www/cgit
|
||||
<Directory "/var/www/cgit">
|
||||
AllowOverride None
|
||||
Options ExecCGI FollowSymLinks
|
||||
Require all granted
|
||||
</Directory>
|
||||
|
||||
# cgid module is required to run the cgit binary
|
||||
LoadModule cgid_module lib/httpd/modules/mod_cgid.so
|
||||
<IfModule cgid_module>
|
||||
ScriptSock /var/run/cgid.sock
|
||||
</IfModule>
|
||||
|
||||
# Path to cgit stylesheet, graphics
|
||||
Alias /cgit-data /usr/share/cgit
|
||||
<Directory "/usr/share/cgit">
|
||||
AllowOverride None
|
||||
Options None
|
||||
Require all granted
|
||||
</Directory>
|
||||
|
||||
# Path to cgit binary
|
||||
# Next line changed
|
||||
ScriptAlias / /usr/libexec/cgit/cgi-bin/cgit/
|
||||
<Directory "/usr/libexec/cgit/cgi-bin">
|
||||
AllowOverride None
|
||||
Options None
|
||||
Require all granted
|
||||
</Directory>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Configuring CGit
|
||||
|
||||
Now to configure `cgit` itself, we need to create a file called `cgitrc`. Order matters in the declarations, and from what I can gather you should have your `scan-path` near the end of the file.
|
||||
|
||||
To enable cloning and have it discoverable:
|
||||
```ini
|
||||
enable-http-clone=1
|
||||
clone-prefix=https://URL/TO/WEBSITE
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
To download snapsots of the references
|
||||
```ini
|
||||
snapshots=tar.gz zip
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
To enable the git config to override the owner and description fields
|
||||
```ini
|
||||
enable-git-config=1
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Cache up to 1000 output entries
|
||||
```ini
|
||||
cache-size=1000
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Root Page configuration
|
||||
```ini
|
||||
root-title=Brandon Rozek's Repositories
|
||||
root-desc=
|
||||
repository-sort=age
|
||||
|
||||
# Start all URLs from the root directory
|
||||
virtual-root=/
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Server the appropriate mime-types of certain files
|
||||
```ini
|
||||
mimetype.gif=image/gif
|
||||
mimetype.html=text/html
|
||||
mimetype.jpg=image/jpeg
|
||||
mimetype.jpeg=image/jpeg
|
||||
mimetype.pdf=application/pdf
|
||||
mimetype.png=image/png
|
||||
mimetype.svg=image/svg+xml
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Styles for the website
|
||||
```ini
|
||||
css=/cgit-data/cgit.css
|
||||
logo=/cgit-data/cgit.png
|
||||
favicon=/cgit-data/favicon.ico
|
||||
source-filter=/usr/libexec/cgit/filters/syntax-highlighting.sh
|
||||
about-filter=/usr/libexec/cgit/filters/about-formatting.sh
|
||||
readme=:README.md
|
||||
readme=:README
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Where to find the repositories
|
||||
|
||||
```ini
|
||||
scan-path=/var/www/cgit/
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Setting up the container
|
||||
|
||||
I prefer using `docker-compose` to help manage all my containers. The first two volumes map the configuration files we created and the last volume holds our repositories.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
cgit:
|
||||
image: docker.io/clearlinux/cgit
|
||||
container_name: cgit
|
||||
hostname: cgit
|
||||
volumes:
|
||||
- /etc/cgitrc:/etc/cgitrc
|
||||
- /etc/httpd-cgit.conf:/etc/httpd/conf.d/httpd-cgit.conf
|
||||
- /var/www/cgit:/var/www/cgit
|
||||
restart: always
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Populating it with Repositories
|
||||
|
||||
Within `/var/www/cgit`, start cloning your repositories:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git clone --bare REPO_URL
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If you enabled gitinfo then for each repository you can run `git config -e` and add the following
|
||||
|
||||
```ini
|
||||
[gitweb]
|
||||
owner = Name <Email>
|
||||
description = Insert your project description here
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Aside: Reverse Proxy
|
||||
In my setup, I have an `nginx` container that handles all of the traffic. Therefore, I don't have users enter to the cgit container directly. I handle this by adding the following reverse proxy configuration.
|
||||
```nginx
|
||||
server {
|
||||
listen 80;
|
||||
listen [::]:80;
|
||||
server_name GIT.SERVER.URL
|
||||
|
||||
location / {
|
||||
return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
server {
|
||||
listen 443 ssl http2;
|
||||
listen [::]:443 ssl http2;
|
||||
server_name GIT.SERVER.URL;
|
||||
|
||||
ssl_certificate /path/to/chain;
|
||||
ssl_certificate_key /path/to/private/key;
|
||||
include /etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-nginx.conf;
|
||||
ssl_dhparam /etc/letsencrypt/ssl-dhparams.pem;
|
||||
|
||||
location / {
|
||||
proxy_pass http://cgit;
|
||||
proxy_set_header Host $host;
|
||||
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
|
||||
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
|
||||
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $server_name;
|
||||
# Needed to get around HTTP2 Streaming Errors
|
||||
proxy_hide_header Upgrade;
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Conclusion
|
||||
|
||||
After all the configuration, you should be able to pull it up using `docker-compose`.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
docker-compose up cgit
|
||||
```
|
||||

These references talked about setting up cgit outside of docker, but they helped me understand the various configuration files needed.
