git-autopush

Script+container image that periodically mirrors a local repository to a remote location, e.g. keep a gitlab/github mirror up-to-date with a repo hosted on a private server

Example docker run command:
docker run --rm --env-file .env -v ./ssh:/ssh:ro -v ./git:/git:ro "$(docker build -q .)"

./ssh should contain your key for pushing
./git should contain the repositores you want to push

.env parameters

• PUSH_KEY: file name of the private ssh key in the ssh directory to be used for pushing, e.g. id_rsa
• PUSH_DELAY: how long to sleep between pushes, should be a string compatible with sleep(1)
• PUSH_URLS: a | and space separated list of urls and directory names, e.g. git@someserver:myrepo myrepo.git|git@someserver:myotherrepo myrepo2.git
  • git@someserver:myrepo and git@someserver:myotherrepo are the urls passed to git as a push destination
  • myrepo.git and myrepo2.git are directory names relates to /git inside the container

TODO

• allow custom refspecs to be added (for e.g. git-bug)
• port script to python and use json config instead of environment variables
