A dead simple, insecure git-over-http server using nginx

Git-HTTP-backend

A hacky, insecure but smart-http server using nginx as a frontend. No authentication, no SSL, push is free-for-all.

disclaimer this is not intended for production use. Written to ease self-bootstrapping GitOps goodness.

Usage:

Running the server:

docker run --rm 
  -p 8080:80 \
  -v /path/to/host/gitdir:/git \
  -e "INIT_REPOS=myrepo1,myrepo2" \ #Comma-delimited list of repos to create at initialization 
  bgulla/git-http-backend

Cloning a repo

git clone http://localhost:8080/git/myrepo1.git
echo "profit!"

Importing existing git repos

You can serve existing repos from disk! If you would like to serve up existing git repositories from your git-http-server, just make sure that they are included in whatever folder you mount to /git.

Note: these repos will be referenced by their folder name so /git/foobar will clone with git clone http://localhost:8080/git/foobar without the .git suffix.

Interactive Initialization

You will need to set the INIT_REPOS env var in order to self-bootstrap a repository within the /git folder. If you want to manually create the repo while the container is running, do the following:

cd /git
git init --bare test.git
cd test.git
git config http.receivepack true
