Git GC container image

Container for running git gc. The container itself runs a cron for use when running it using Docker. In Kubernetes we use a CronJob, thus the entrypoint is overwritten, when used in Kubernetes, to not run cron via /var/tools/start, but directly run gc-all.sh in Kubernetes CronJob.

Content

• base image
• cron
• gc-all.sh: gc-script

Setup and configuration

• install cron
• copy tools scripts
• install crontab
• create gerrit OS user
• ensure filesystem permissions

Start

• start the container via start script /var/tools/start

The start script

• starts cron which schedules the execution of the provided gc-all.sh
• ensures file system permissions
