git-mirrors

The git-mirrors project is designed to fill in a feature which is currently missing from GitLab: the ability to mirror remote repositories. git-mirrors creates read only copies of remote repositories in gitlab. It provides a CLI management interface for managing the mirrored repositories (e.g. add, delete, update) so that an admin may regularly update all mirrors using crontab. It operates by interacting with the GitLab API using python-gitlab.

This adds git mirror functionality to gitlab. The whole purpose of this project is to mirror projects using the Mirror group.

Prerequisites

Required software

Required software install snippets

python-gitlab

yum install python-setuptools
git clone https://github.com/Itxaka/python-gitlab.git
cd python-gitlab
git checkout 5da9bc7ffcfdca34d86cc69c34caa7a84d27cfaa
python setup.py

You can find the source to git at the git-core project. For instructions on other platforms see the Getting Started - Installing Git section of the git book.

yum install perl-ExtUtils-MakeMaker zlib zlib-devel openssh libcurl libcurl-devel expat expat-devel gettext gettext-devel
cd /usr/local/src/
git clone https://code.google.com/p/git-core/
cd git-core/
git tag
git checkout v1.8.4
make configure
./configure --prefix=/usr/local
make
make install

Your git should now be located in /usr/local/bin/git. You should edit /etc/profile and place /usr/local/bin at the beginning of your $PATH.

#Installation and Setup

Create a system user called gitmirror and generate SSH keys.

adduser gitmirror
su - gitmirror
ssh-keygen

Create ~/.ssh/config for the gitmirror user. Add your GitLab server host and the user used to talk to GitLab.

Host gitlab.example.com
    User git

Create a gitmirror user in gitlab. Set up the SSH keys with the gitmirror user in GitLab. Obtain the Private token from the user.

Clone the git-mirrors repository and set values in config.sh.

su - gitmirrors
mkdir repositories
touch private_token
git clone https://comet.irt.drexel.edu/gitlab/gitlab-mirrors.git
cd gitlab-mirrors
chmod 755 *.sh
cp config.sh.SAMPLE config.sh

Modify the values in config.sh for your setup. Be sure to add your private token for the gitmirror user in gitlab to ~/private_token of your gitmirror system user.

Once you have set up your config.sh let's add the git-mirrors.sh script to crontab. Just execute crontab -e and add the following value to it.

@hourly /home/gitmirror/gitlab-mirrors/git-mirrors.sh
