gitolite

How I installed gitolite on a RaspberryPi

Mount my git repositories

Install autofs

$ sudo  apt-get install autofs

Configure autofs to mount a share from a nas

$ sudo vim.tiny /etc/auto.misc

nas3.git        -fstype=nfs4,rw,soft,intr,nosuid,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14,async,noatime nas3:/media/nas/git

Configure autofs to read auto.misc

$ sudo vim.tiny /etc/auto.master

/misc   /etc/auto.misc

Restart autofs (only needed because auto.master was changed)

$ sudo service autofs restart

Test

$ sudo ls -l /misc/nas3.git/

Install gitolite version 3

$ sudo apt-get -y install gitolite3

Create git user and configure

Add the git user

$ sudo adduser --system --shell /bin/bash --group --disabled-password --home /home/git git

Make the repositories folder

$ sudo su - git
$ mkdir repositories
$ exit

Remount my git repositories

$ sudo vim.tiny /etc/fstab

/misc/nas3.git   /home/git/repositories     none bind       0 3

$ sudo mount -a

Test

$ sudo su - git
$ ls repositories

Setup gitolite

I've used gitolite before, so this is the minimum I need to make it run again

$ sudo su - git
$ gitolite setup -pk /tmp/mdsh.pub

Then go to my gitolite-admin repo and push my current setup into the gitolite server

$ cd ~/git/gitolite-admin
$ git push -f
