Gerrit configuration with containers

[Willow Barraco]

Hey,

I'm trying to setup a container of Gerrit, and struggle with the
config file. First I tried to use Docker configs, but Gerrit tries to
write it. Then I've bind mounted the file, but Gerrit use jgit to
perform atomic write, which fails with EBUSY with mount points.

So remains the only way of mounting the whole etc folder, which does not
works great with named volumes.

Is there alternatives I have not considered yet? Is there existing
issues reporting those difficulties?

Thanks,

[Willow Barraco]

Alternatively, if ssh key location could be configurable, I could put
them in another directory, in a named volume, and keep just the config
files in etc/. This would make deployment solutions as Dokploy useable
with Gerrit.

I would consider, for most deployments, that containers are not worth the hassle. Gerrit is distributed as a single binary file, and the only dependency is a Java runtime environment. Install a JRE with your package management system and run Gerrit via a systemd unit. This has been simple and reliable for me.

Hi Willow,

Have you considered K8s-Gerrit?
It already contains all the support for all the requirements you’ve mentioned, including secrects management.

See [1] for more details.

HTH

Luca.
