# opengist
A containerized [OpenGist](https://github.com/thomiceli/opengist) — a self-hosted pastebin powered by Git. Create, share, and fork code snippets with full Git history, HTTP clone, SSH push/pull, and OAuth2 login via GitHub, GitLab, Gitea, or OpenID Connect. Built on Alpine Linux with SQLite storage and no external database required.

## 📦 Install
### Via dockermgr (recommended)
```shell
sudo bash -c "$(curl -q -LSsf "https://github.com/systemmgr/installer/raw/main/install.sh")"
sudo systemmgr --config && sudo systemmgr install scripts
dockermgr update opengist
```
### Manual docker run
```shell
docker run -d \
--restart always \
--name casjaysdevdocker-opengist-latest \
--hostname opengist \
-e TZ=${TIMEZONE:-America/New_York} \
-v /var/lib/srv/$USER/docker/casjaysdevdocker/opengist/latest/volumes/data:/data:z \
-v /var/lib/srv/$USER/docker/casjaysdevdocker/opengist/latest/volumes/config:/config:z \
-p 80:80 \
-p 7823:7823 \
casjaysdevdocker/opengist:latest
```
### docker-compose
```yaml

## ⚙️ Configuration
### Volumes
| Path | Purpose |
|------|---------|
| `/config` | Runtime configuration (auto-generated on first start) |
| `/data` | Gist repositories, SQLite database, logs, and index |
### Ports
| Port | Protocol | Purpose |
|------|----------|---------|
| `80` | HTTP | Web UI and HTTP Git clone/pull |
| `7823` | TCP | Built-in SSH server for Git push/pull |
### Environment variables
| Variable | Default | Description |
|----------|---------|-------------|
| `TZ` | `America/New_York` | Container timezone |
| `HOSTNAME` | `casjaysdev-opengist` | Sets the `external-url` in opengist config |
| `SERVER_NAME` / `FULL_DOMAIN_NAME` | — | Override hostname for external URL |
| `OPENGIST_APPNAME_ENABLED` | `yes` | Set to `no` to disable the service |
| `OPENGIST_ROOT_USER_NAME` | — | Initial admin username |
| `OPENGIST_ROOT_PASS_WORD` | — | Initial admin password |
| `OPENGIST_USER_NAME` | — | Initial normal user name |
| `OPENGIST_USER_PASS_WORD` | — | Initial normal user password |
| `DEBUGGER` | — | Set to `on` to enable shell-level debug tracing |
### Runtime config overrides
Place a shell script at `/config/env/opengist.sh` inside the container (or mount it as a file) to override any variable at runtime without rebuilding the image. A template is written on first start.
### OAuth2
After first start, edit `/config/opengist/config.yaml` to add OAuth2 credentials:
```yaml
github.client-key: <your-key>
github.secret: <your-secret>
gitlab.client-key: <your-key>
gitlab.secret: <your-secret>
gitlab.url: https://gitlab.com/
gitea.client-key: <your-key>
gitea.secret: <your-secret>
gitea.url: https://your-gitea-instance/
oidc.client-key: <your-key>
oidc.secret: <your-secret>
oidc.discovery-url: https://auth.example.com/.well-known/openid-configuration
```
OAuth2 callback URLs must follow the pattern:
`http://<opengist-url>/oauth/<github|gitlab|gitea|openid-connect>/callback`
---
## 🛠️ Development
### Prerequisites
- Docker with `buildx` support
- `git`
### Get source
```shell
git clone "https://github.com/casjaysdevdocker/opengist" \
"$HOME/Projects/github/casjaysdevdocker/opengist"
cd "$HOME/Projects/github/casjaysdevdocker/opengist"
```
Or via dockermgr:
```shell
dockermgr download src casjaysdevdocker/opengist
```
### Build the image
```shell
buildx
```
The build downloads the latest OpenGist release binary from GitHub at build time and bundles it into the image.
