Abandoned Project?

[rockstorm101]

Sadly, this project has seen no updates since 2017. I've decided to have a go a packaging a very close solution, which hopefully solves some of the open issues from this project and adds some other useful utilities:

• A single authorized_keys file is used, instead of copying keys onto it from a directory (Avoids Public keys must have EOF char #17 and Resets authorized_keys on startup #26)
• ARM builds provided (Fixes Docker build fails on ARMv7. #16 and Update alpine version to support ARMv7 #28)
• Allow custom SSH host keys (Fixes Every container started with this image has the same key #13 and Made is possible to set SSHd host keys persistent #15)
• Coded from scratch and therefore with a new (GPL-3.0) license (Fixes What type of Licence is used? #8)
• Admin commands added to allow the git user to create/remove repositories instead of forcing making it from the host (in an attempt to simplify the novice user experience).
• Allow setting the UID/GID of the git user (to slightly mitigate the permissions issues when modifying files from both the host and the container)
• A variant of the image is provided which includes Docker CLI (to allow the git server to start other containers, e.g. to run CI/CD actions)

Any comments or suggestions, please let me know. Hope you find this useful.

A few years ago, I also wrote another minimal git server inspired by this (abandoned ?) project.

I recently improved it and made the code available here: https://github.com/mcarbonne/minimal-git-server

My initial requirements were slightly different: multi-users support and self-management (i.e. every user can create and manage its repositories without having a full SSH access).
