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).
