Docker Compose GitPitch with GitLab

For offline development of GitPitch presentations.

Starting

Start docker images:

docker-compose up

View presentations:

http://localhost:9000/<username>/<repo>/<branch>[?p=<presentation>]

For example: http://localhost:9000/shiltemann/presentations/slides?p=2018-GalaxyEU

First time config

Open up GitLab (http://localhost:8081) and register an account with same username as on GitHub. Then create a repository with same name as the one you are testing has on GitHub

Add the the local Gitlab as a remote for the repo:

$ git remote add gitpitch http://localhost:8081/shiltemann/presentations.git

# or, to enable pushing via SSH:
$ git remote add gitpitch ssh://git@localhost:8022/shiltemann/presentations.git

Preview changes

$ git commit <your changes>
$ git push gitpitch

Troubleshooting

If the background images are not showing, you may need to:

add the following to /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default:

server {
  listen       80;
  server_name  gitlab;
  location / {
    proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8081;
}

add to /etc/hosts file:

127.0.0.1   gitlab

$ sudo service network-manager restart

Git LFS

If you encounter errors with git LFS storage such as:

LFS: client error http://gitlab/shiltemann/presentations.git/gitlab-lfs/objects/
7abe7426e3fbffd588c27d14c202cb19786cbc5ac91d40d982553dd84ada42f5/2496657 from HTTP 413

try increasing maximum request size in your nginx conf:

client_max_body_size 256M;
