Ansible Role: Git Server

Setup a simple git remote repository using ssh, this does not have access control features, everyone that has access can pull and push to all repostories. If you need an access control, use gitolite or something similair.

Requirements

A host that has ssh installed and configured, it will not adjust any of the ssh host configuration.

Role Variables

Available variables are listed below, along with default values (see defaults/main.yml):

git_keys: []

All public ssh keys that will get access to all the git repositories.

git_repos:
  - path: test.git
    allow_force: false

A list of git repositories to generate:

• path is the path on the server relative to git_dir
• allow_force: true allows force push to the repository and is optional.

git_user: git

Username to use for login, defaults to git.

git_user_password: '!'

User password for git if you want to enable this use the password_hash filter to generate a hashed (and salted) password. A ! in password disables password login.

The location to store the git_repos, also the user directory for git_user.

git_shell: /usr/bin/git-shell

The shell used for the git_user leaving it to the default (/usr/bin/git-shell) will limit the user to only git-receive-pack, git-upload-pack, git-upload-archive and the commands in {{ git_dir }}/git-shell-commands. This role automatically installs a no-interactive-login script for git-shell, and can install a cvs command for compatibilty with cvs clients.
