[wishlist] Add option to use custom gitolite.rc

[iu-guest]

As far as I can tell {experiments, but no pointers to gitolite documentation}, gitolite setup command overrides whatever /var/lib/git/.gitolite.rc file was there, as such following Dockerfile

FROM jgiannuzzi/gitolite
COPY gitolite.rc /var/lib/git/.gitolite.rc

does not work as intended. Could you please add option to provide custom .gitolite.rc?

Hi @iu-guest,

The idea is to run the setup once, as per the README. This will create everything you need in the gitolite-git volume (or whatever name you gave to the volume holding /var/lib/git).

You can then simply edit the .gitolite.rc file in there (by mounting the volume in another container, or by exec-ing in your gitolite container), and restart/recreate your gitolite container.

Yes, sure. But I like to have `docker-compose.yml', such that 'docker-compose up --build' will have everything up and running, without additional tweaking.

What about adding something like following at the end of init script?

# ... setup gitolite as usual
if [ -f /gitolite.rc-override ] ; then
	cp /gitolite.rc-override /var/lib/git/.gitolite.rc
fi
# exec ssh server
