million12/gitbucket repository overview

⁠GitBucket in Docker (Nginx/HTTP2)

Docker Image⁠ with GitBucket server using million12/nginx⁠ docker image as base. (HTTP2 and HAProxy SSL termination ready.)

⁠Environmental Variable

• CONTEXTPATH runtime variable --prefix=
• HOSTNAME runtime variable --host=
• DATA_DIR runtime variable --gitbucket.home=

⁠Nginx Features

⁠- HTTP/2 support

Container is built with http/2 support and by default it listens on port 443.
Make sure you open it on docker run.
Port 81 is used by default for load balancing (HAProxy) ssl termination.

⁠- dummy SSL certificates

The default catch-all vhost is configured to work on HTTPS as well.

⁠- error logging

Nginx error_log is set to stderr and therefore Nginx log is available only via docker logs [contaienr], together with supervisor logs.

This is probably best approach if you'd like to source your logs from outside the container (e.g. via docker logs or CoreOS journald) and you don't want to worry about logging and log management inside your container.

⁠- graceful reload after config change

Folders /etc/nginx/ and /data/conf/nginx/ are monitored for any config changes and, when they happen, Nginx is gracefully reloaded.

⁠- Nginx status page

Nginx status page is configured under /nginx_status URL on the default vhost. Also see STATUS_PAGE_ALLOWED_IP env variable described below. Eample output:

Active connections: 1
server accepts handled requests
11475 11475 13566
Reading: 0 Writing: 1 Waiting: 0

⁠Usage

docker run \
  -d \
  --name gitbucket \
  -p 80:80 \
  -p 443:443 \
  -p 29418:29418 \
  million12/gitbucket

Mount data to host os and edit some variables.

docker run \
  -d \
  --name gitbucket \
  -p 80:80 \
  -p 443:443 \
  -p 29418:29418 \
  -e HOSTNAME=myhostanme.com \
  -e DATA_DIR=/my/custom/container/dir \
  -v /my/host/dir:/my/custom/container/dir \
  million12/gitbucket

⁠Build

docker build -t million12/gitbucket .

⁠Access GitBucket

• HTTP: http://docker.ip⁠
• SSL/HTTP2: https://docker.ip⁠
• SSH through port 29418

Default Login and Password is root:root

⁠Docker troubleshooting

Use docker command to see if all required containers are up and running:

$ docker ps

Check logs of gitbucket server container:

$ docker logs gitbucket

Sometimes you might just want to review how things are deployed inside a running container, you can do this by executing a bash shell through docker's exec command:

docker exec -ti gitbucket /bin/bash

History of an image and size of layers:

docker history --no-trunc=true million12/gitbucket | tr -s ' ' | tail -n+2 | awk -F " ago " '{print $2}'
