Set Gerrit to 3.6.1 Change-Id: I018ebece6e6e4316495b4c1a0e4770bf754e01ca
The official Gerrit Code Review image with an out-of-the-box setup with H2 and DEVELOPMENT account setup.
This image is intended to be used AS-IS for training or staging environments. It can be used for production as base image and requires customizations to its gerrit.config and definition of persistent external modules.
Start Gerrit Code Review in its demo/staging out-of-the-box setup:
docker run -ti -p 8080:8080 -p 29418:29418 gerritcodereview/gerrit
Wait a few minutes until the Gerrit Code Review NNN ready
message appears, where NNN is your current Gerrit version, then open your browser to http://localhost:8080 and you will be in Gerrit Code Review.
NOTE: If your docker server is running on a remote host, change ‘localhost’ to the hostname or IP address of your remote docker server.
Starting from Ver. 2.14, a new introduction screen guides you through the basics of Gerrit and allows installing additional plugins downloaded from Gerrit CI.
Official releases are also available as Docker images, e.g. use the following to run the 3.3.0 version.
docker run -ti -p 8080:8080 -p 29418:29418 gerritcodereview/gerrit:3.3.0
For docker images that contain released Gerrit versions, tags exist in this git repository pointing to a state of the repository, where this version of Gerrit (e.g. 3.3.0) is referenced in the Dockerfiles. To build such a docker image for development purposes, checkout the respective version tag, e.g.:
git checkout v3.3.0
Navigate to either ./almalinux/8
or ./ubuntu/20
to build the almalinux- or ubuntu-based docker image, respectively. Then run:
docker build -t gerritcodereview/gerrit:$(git describe) .
To build an image containing a development build of Gerrit, e.g. to test a change, run the following command instead:
docker build --build-arg GERRIT_WAR_URL="<url>" -t gerritcodereview/gerrit -f Dockerfile-dev .
The <url>
passed to the GERRIT_WAR_URL
-build argument has to point to a Gerrit-.war
-file. The build argument defaults to the URL pointing to the last successful build of the Gerrit master branch on the Gerrit CI.
Use docker persistent volumes to keep Gerrit data across restarts. See below a sample docker-compose.yaml per externally-mounted Lucene indexes, Caches and Git repositories.
Example of /docker-compose.yaml
version: '3' services: gerrit: image: gerritcodereview/gerrit volumes: - git-volume:/var/gerrit/git - index-volume:/var/gerrit/index - cache-volume:/var/gerrit/cache ports: - "29418:29418" - "8080:8080" volumes: git-volume: index-volume: cache-volume:
Run docker-compose up
to trigger the build and execution of your custom Gerrit docker setup.
This is a list of available environment variables to change the Gerrit configuration:
CANONICAL_WEB_URL
: Optional. Set the gerrit.canonicalWebUrl
parameter in gerrit.config
. Defaults to http://<image_hostname>
HTTPD_LISTEN_URL
: Optional. Override the httpd.listenUrl
parameter in gerrit.config
.When running Gerrit on Docker in production, it is a good idea to rely on a physical external storage with much better performance and reliability than the Docker's internal AUFS, and an external configuration directory for better change management traceability. Additionally, you may want to use a proper external authentication.
See below a more advanced example of docker-compose.yaml with OpenLDAP (from Osixia's DockerHub).
Example of /docker-compose.yaml assuming you have an external directory available as /external/gerrit
version: '3' services: gerrit: image: gerritcodereview/gerrit ports: - "29418:29418" - "80:8080" depends_on: - ldap volumes: - /external/gerrit/etc:/var/gerrit/etc - /external/gerrit/git:/var/gerrit/git - /external/gerrit/db:/var/gerrit/db - /external/gerrit/index:/var/gerrit/index - /external/gerrit/cache:/var/gerrit/cache environment: - CANONICAL_WEB_URL=http://localhost # command: init ldap: image: osixia/openldap ports: - "389:389" - "636:636" environment: - LDAP_ADMIN_PASSWORD=secret volumes: - /external/gerrit/ldap/var:/var/lib/ldap - /external/gerrit/ldap/etc:/etc/ldap/slapd.d ldap-admin: image: osixia/phpldapadmin ports: - "6443:443" environment: - PHPLDAPADMIN_LDAP_HOSTS=ldap
Example of /external/gerrit/etc/gerrit.config
[gerrit] basePath = git [index] type = LUCENE [auth] type = ldap gitBasicAuth = true [ldap] server = ldap://ldap username=cn=admin,dc=example,dc=org accountBase = dc=example,dc=org accountPattern = (&(objectClass=person)(uid=${username})) accountFullName = displayName accountEmailAddress = mail [sendemail] smtpServer = localhost [sshd] listenAddress = *:29418 [httpd] listenUrl = http://*:8080/ [cache] directory = cache [container] user = root
Example of /external/gerrit/etc/secure.config
[ldap] password = secret
The external filesystem needs to be initialized with gerrit.war beforehand:
The initialization can be done as a one-off operation before starting all containers.
Uncomment the command: init
option in docker-compose.yaml and run Gerrit with docker-compose in foreground.
docker-compose up gerrit
Wait until you see in the output the message Initialized /var/gerrit
and then the container will exit.
Comment out the command: init
option in docker-compose.yaml and start all the docker-compose nodes:
docker-compose up -d
The sample docker compose project includes a node with PhpLdapAdmin connected to OpenLDAP and exposed via Web UX at https://localhost:6443.
The first user that logs in Gerrit is considered the initial administrator, it is important that you configure it on LDAP to login and having the ability to administer your Gerrit setup.
Login to PhpLdapAdmin using cn=admin,dc=example,dc=org
as username and secret
as password and then create a new child node of type “Courier Mail Account” for the Gerrit Administrator
Example:
Verify that your data is correct and then commit the changes to LDAP.
Login to Gerrit on http://localhost using the new Gerrit Admin credentials created on LDAP.
Example:
Refer to Gerrit Documentation at http://localhost/Documentation/index.html for more information on how to configure, administer and use Gerrit Code Review.
