| # apache-git-http-backend |
| |
| The apache-git-http-backend docker image serves as receiver in git replication |
| from a Gerrit master to a Gerrit slave. |
| |
| ## Content |
| |
| * base image |
| * Apache webserver |
| * Apache configurations for http and https |
| * git (via base image) |
| * `tools/create_repo.sh`: cgi script to enable remote creation of new git |
| repository over http. This is triggered by the Gerrit replication plugin |
| if a new repository on the Gerrit master does not yet exist in a Gerrit slave, |
| a corresponding |
| [change for the replication plugin](https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/c/plugins/replication/+/199900) |
| enabling repository creation via http is still in review for master and will be |
| downported to 2.16 |
| * `tools/start`: start script, configures and starts Apache |
| webserver |
| * `start`: start script for testing image using Docker |
| |
| ## Setup and Configuration |
| |
| * install Apache webserver |
| * configure Apache for http and/or https |
| * install cgi script |
| * open ports for incoming traffic |
| * create gerrit OS user |
| * map volumes |
| |
| ## Start |
| |
| * verify filesystem permissions. In Kubernetes this is done using a |
| [SecurityContext](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/configure-pod-container/security-context/). |
| It is used to set the filesystem group of mounted volumes to 100 (users), |
| which is used by the gerrit-user in the containers. Thereby it is ensured |
| that the volumes have rw-permissions for the gerrit-user. |
| * start Apache git-http backend via start script `/var/tools/start` |
