• Docker (>= 1.10.3)
• docker-compose (>= 1.6.2)

After installing the requirements, run inside this directory:

docker-compose up

During the first run, the nginx container webserver will complain that no certificates are available and will quit. (But gitserver will keep running.)

To solve that, open a terminal and execute (replace (gitserver) with the name of the container as printed by docker-compose up call):

docker exec -it (gitserver) bash

This will connect you to the running gitserver container and will launch an instance of bash inside it. Then enter (replace again (hostname) here with your domain name):

cd /data/gogs/conf/
/app/gogs/gogs cert -ca=true -duration=8760h0m0s -host=(hostname)
exit

That's it. You now have self-signed certificates by gogs. You can now restart the failed container:

docker-compose up

If you already have signed certificates, just copy them into: /var/gogs/gogs/conf in your local system. They will automatically mounted during when docker-compose is launched.

Remember to rename the certificate: cert.pem, and the server key: key.pem.

You can now acces you self-hosted gogs service through HTTPS using any browser. You'll get a warning however as the certificate are self-signed.

To use git with a self-signed, you need to disable SSL verification temporarly:

export GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY=true

or permanently (:warning: DANGEROUS 🚷):

git config --global http.sslverify false

To use git with ssh on a different port than the default port 22:

git clone ssh://git@hostname:10022/user/repo.git

Remember to add your ssh keys first!
