Docker Git Mirror

This repository hosts a Docker application designed to automate the mirroring of Git repositories. It's particularly useful for backing up repositories or ensuring that a synchronous copy of a repository is consistently available.

Features

• Automated Mirroring: Set up once and have the application continuously mirror the repositories you specify.
• Dockerized: Runs in a Docker container, ensuring platform independence and ease of deployment.
• Simple Configuration: Utilizes a straightforward configuration file to set up source and target repositories.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Docker installed on your system. For installation instructions, visit Docker's website.
• A list of Git repositories you wish to mirror.

Installation

1. Clone this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/devmaxde/docker-git-mirror.git
   

2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd docker-git-mirror
   

Usage

1. Configure your repositories: Create a config.toml file inside the docker-config directory. A Example config can look like this:

timeout = 120

[[repos]]
ident = "my_project"
source_url = "git@github.com:devmaxde/docker-git-mirror.git"
target_url = "git@github.com:devmaxde/TestREPO.git"

2. Set up SSH keys and known hosts: Place your SSH private key, public key, and known_hosts file in a config directory. Direct access is not recommended. You should also set the ssh-keys to read-only.

3. Use Docker Compose to run the application: Update the docker-compose.yml file as follows and then start the service:

   services:
   mirror:
     build: .
     networks:
       - internet
     volumes:
       - "./docker-config/config.toml:/root/config.toml"
       - "./docker-config/github:/root/.ssh/id_rsa:ro"
       - "./docker-config/github.pub:/root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub:ro"
       - "./docker-config/known_hosts:/root/.ssh/known_hosts"
   networks:
     internet:
   

Run the Docker Compose command:

docker-compose up -d
