Forgive me if this is a stupid question but is it possible to install gitolite on CoreOS?

I'd like to run an express/mongodb application and push my updates via git.

I just can't seem to find any information related to setting up a git repository on CoreOS.

Thanks

I would say, run the application you need in a docker container.

Yes, I figured as much. I tried installing this container https://hub.docker.com/r/jgiannuzzi/gitolite/

but it doesn't work. I think it must have been designed for Ubuntu since it expects the user to have and id_rsa.pub. And on CoreOS I don't have that.

So the only viable solution would be to create my own docker container?

Well you can create a ssh private and public key with "ssh-keygen" on coreos.
It is not ubuntu only. One big advantage of containers is the possibility to deploy them on any System with all its dependencies included in the Image.

Just run ssh-keygen to create the private and public key and try to run it again.
