Git Docker Container for VS Code Remote Container development

By Czapski Michael Development and Continuous Integration No Comments »

I find VS Code to be a great free development editor and my activities involve a deal of development for the Linux platform. I like to be able to run the editor on Windows and build and run in the target environments using Docker as means to spin up lightweight containers for different projects with different technology stacks.

Scripts in this package facilitate creation of a Docker Container, based on the docker image created using scripts in the package Git Client Docker Container, with a Git Client that you can choose to configure to work in conjunction with the Private GIT Server. This container can be configured to work as a remote container environment for VS Code development on Windows. Please see  https://github.com/mwczapski/windows_vscode_development_in_linux_docker_container for RAEADME and package artifacts.

Creating Git Client as a Docker Container

By Czapski Michael Development and Continuous Integration No Comments »

The package named in this article provides detailed steps for creating a Docker Container that runs a git client.

Scripts in this package facilitate creation of a Docker Image and a Docker Container with a Git Client that can be used with, or to test, the private GIT Server. The image uses the git distribution from the Debian Jesse repository. The container can be used as the basis for a development environment, upon which to build a development environment with the appropriate tools like NodeJS, Java, etc..

The image is based on bitnami/minideb:jessie image as at early May 2020.

The image is 156MB in size.

The image will be saved as the gitclient:1.0.0 Docker Image if the 01_create_git_client_baseline_image.sh script is run from the …./gitclient/_commonUtils directory and, if the user requests it, will also be uploaded to a remote docker repository, which must be defined. Please see https://github.com/mwczapski/git_client_docker_container for RAEADME and package artifacts.

Creating Private Git Server as a Docker Container

By Czapski Michael Personal No Comments »

The package named in this article provides detailed steps for creating a Docker Container that runs a private git server.

Scripts in the package facilitate creation of a Docker Image and a Docker Container with a private GIT Server. The image uses the most recent GIT distribution (2.26 at the time of this writing). The container can be used to provide docker-network-wide Git repository for small to medium size teams working on projects whose sources cannot or should not be stored in cloud-hosted Git repositories. Small to medium start-ups or small companies might be examples.

The image is based on bitnami/minideb:jessie image as at early May 2020.

Installing latest Git from sources, and pre-requisites for building Git from sources, blows the image up from about 51MB (bitnami/minideb:jessie) to about 778MB during the build process, and then shrinks it back to 238MB once the build is finished and build tools are removed.

The image is saved as the `gitserver:1.0.0` Docker Image and, if the user invokes the script with the correct argument, also uploaded to a remote docker repository, which must be defined (see later). Please see https://github.com/mwczapski/private_gitserver_docker_container for RAEADME and package artifacts.
