oooh I’m glad someone is writing about this.

I moved to this mode for awhile but ran into some problem that I’ve since forgotten so I should give it another try. I really need a simple and reliable way to keep my repositories somewhere safe and accessible.

missed the ssh part my bad. You covered that very well.

I often use an NFS, CIFS, or even SSHfs and just put git there.

hi! you wrote,

If you want to serve a read-only copy, just stick your repo in a folder that’s served by nginx

i think there might be a step missing here. pretty sure that for this to work you need to run git update-server-info in the repo that's being served over http. (and re-run that command every time the repo changes.)

i think yours is much clearer and more accessible, but here's a similar writeup on the subject that i did: orbital.rodeo/~mike/20210804-s…

Gitea has a feature to mirror and keep in sync, with options on how frequently to update. It tracks branches and tags, but issues and PRs (as non-git data) are not synced.

git.fuzzle.org/petern/OpenTTD is my local mirror of OpenTTD from GitHub, although if I was doing it again I would set it up with a dedicated user instead of my normal account.

OpenTTD

OpenTTD is an open source simulation game based upon Transport Tycoon Deluxe

Gitolite is verry nice. I use it since years for personal git hosting.

For installing it's simple:

1. Install from the OS repo, or from the source

2. Create a "git" user (or any other name if you want)

3. Log into this user and push to it your admin public ssh key called as "yourname.pub" (replace "yourname" by your name)

4. Run command: gitolite setup -pk yourname.pub

And it's done. Your can nom do a ssh git@yourserveur to get the list of repos you have access to.
