- I need help on generating a docker image. Would be great if someone contributes to this.

- Sure, I was thinking about that. Being this a self-hosted software, I should have used those vendor js libraries directly. But it was hyper fast when I used Cloudflare CDN that blinded my eyes. Anyways, I'll release a patch version today using the js libraries directly.

Hello, it's been a few days, I hope you can still receive this.

I cloned your project and made a Dockerfile for it. It works on my Arm32 based board so I guess it should work on other platforms as well.

The file is here, should be a good starting point if you want to further develop the Docker image, please test it:

    # This is an experimental Dockerfile for Sorcia Git front-end
    # 
    # This image allows both easy deployment and use. The deployer 
    # can operate the resulting container via Docker remote management
    # with command such as:
    #
    # `docker -H <docker_server> exec sorcia /home/git/sorcia/sorcia usermod`
    #
    # to manage the service rather than having to login onto the Docker
    # host.
    #
    # To build the image, use command
    #
    # `docker build --tag <final_image_name> .`
    #
    # Or, setup a hook on Docker cloud, let it do the hard job for you.
    # 
    # To run the image, use command:
    #
    # `docker run \
    #    --detach \
    #    --restart always \ 
    #    --name sorcia \
    #    --publish 1937:1937 \  # You may have to change this port number
    #    --publish 2222:2222 \  # iptables maybe needed if you want port 22
    #    <final_image_name> web` 
    #
    # To run usermod, when the container is running, run:
    #
    # `docker exec -it <container_name> /home/git/sorcia/sorcia usermod`
    #
    # Notice: This image does not contain Nginx, if you need it, put it in 
    #         a separate container.  
    #

    # Step 1: Initialize the build enviroment and build the application
    #
    #  Here we are using the golang:alpine which is the latest Go but 
    #  is compiled for Alpine. This is necessary because we will later
    #  run the service on an Alpine base (musl based).
    #
    #  Step 1.0: Copy all source file into the container
    #  Step 1.1: Install Git to download go modules, and build-base to 
    #            build the dependencies
    #  Step 1.2: Print the version of the bulitin Go
    #  Step 1.3: Goto /sorcia directory and start the building process
    #
    FROM golang:alpine as builder
    COPY . /sorcia
    RUN set -ex && \
        until apk add build-base git sqlite-dev; do sleep 1; done && \
        ([ -z "$HTTP_PROXY" ] || (git config --global http.proxy "$HTTP_PROXY")) && \
        ([ -z "$HTTPS_PROXY" ] || (git config --global https.proxy "$HTTPS_PROXY")) && \
        go version && \
        cd /sorcia && \
        until CGO_ENABLED=1 go build; do sleep 1; done

    # Step 2: Setup the image that will actually run the service
    #
    #   Step 2.0: Copy the generated binary along with source file into
    #             the container
    #   Step 2.1: Install the dependencies: Git and Sqlite
    #   Step 2.2: Create user and user group git and sorcia, we'll run the 
    #             service application under user sorcia
    #   Step 2.3: Initialize the enviroment (Directory and other stuff)
    #
    FROM alpine:latest
    COPY --from=builder /sorcia /home/git/sorcia
    RUN set -ex && \
        ls -l /home/git/sorcia && \
        cp /home/git/sorcia/config/app.ini.sample /home/git/sorcia/config/app.ini && \
        sed -i -E "s/ssh_port.+\=.+/ssh_port = 2222/" /home/git/sorcia/config/app.ini && \
        echo && cat /home/git/sorcia/config/app.ini && echo && \
        until apk add --no-cache openssh git sqlite; do sleep 1; done && \
        addgroup -S sorcia && adduser -S -G sorcia sorcia && \
        mkdir -p /home/git/data && chown sorcia:sorcia /home/git/data && \
        chmod +x /home/git/sorcia/sorcia && \
        (cd /home/git/sorcia; rm error.log -f; ln -s /tmp/error.log error.log; ./sorcia version)
    WORKDIR /home/git/sorcia
    USER sorcia
    EXPOSE 1937 2222
    ENTRYPOINT [ "/home/git/sorcia/sorcia" ]
