Hi,

I don't know if there's a python-gitlab image, but it's not something I want to maintain myself.

If someone wants to do the initial work and make sure it is maintained, I'd be happy to host the code in the python-gitlab/ namespace.

Ok, if I succeed in making a working image, I will use it on a daily basis, so I'm sure I'll be maintaining it.

So I'll get back on this issue once I get a working image.

The docker image is now ready.

Here is the Dockerfile:

FROM debian:stretch-slim

# Install dependencies
RUN apt update && \
    apt install -y \
      python-pip

# Install python-gitlab
RUN pip install --upgrade \
      python-gitlab

# Copy sample configuration file
COPY python-gitlab.cfg /python-gitlab/python-gitlab.cfg

# Define the entrypoint that enable a configuration file
ENTRYPOINT ["gitlab", "--config-file", "/python-gitlab/python-gitlab.cfg"]

Here is the sample configuration file that I included in my own image via the COPY instruction (taken from the documentation):

[global]
default = somewhere
ssl_verify = true
timeout = 5
api_version = 3

[somewhere]
url = https://some.whe.re
private_token = vTbFeqJYCY3sibBP7BZM
api_version = 4

[elsewhere]
url = http://else.whe.re:8080
private_token = CkqsjqcQSFH5FQKDccu4
timeout = 1

You'll have to provide your own configuration file on the command line:

docker run -it -v /path/to/my/configuration/of/python-gitlab.cfg:/python-gitlab/python-gitlab.cfg python-gitlab <my command>

Which could lead to:

docker run -it -v /path/to/my/configuration/of/python-gitlab.cfg:/python-gitlab/python-gitlab.cfg python-gitlab project list

You can register this command as an alias:

alias gitlab='docker run --rm -it -v /path/to/my/configuration/of/python-gitlab.cfg:/python-gitlab/python-gitlab.cfg python-gitlab'

Which could lead to:

gitlab project list

I'm using this image successfully as CLI. There some more work to achieve in order to use the API.

Could you please reopen the bug for the moment?

And feel free to merge these materials within the git repository, or in another one. It would be greate to enable automatic build and publication to the docker hub.

Thanks for this Dockerfile. A couple questions about your choices:

• Why not use a python base image? pip is already install and the images are very small
• What about using /python-gitlab.cfg as config file? I don't see the point of having a subdirectory.

@oupala any feedback on the previous comment?

Sorry for the delay and thanks @gpocentek for your comments. You're right for both of them.

I now use a python image, python:slim image. I also deleted the subdirectory. All is working well.

Here is the Dockerfile:

FROM python:slim

# Install python-gitlab
RUN pip install --upgrade python-gitlab

# Copy sample configuration file
COPY python-gitlab.cfg /

# Define the entrypoint that enable a configuration file
ENTRYPOINT ["gitlab", "--config-file", "/python-gitlab.cfg"]

Here is the sample configuration file that I included in my own image via the COPY instruction (taken from the documentation):

[global]
default = somewhere
ssl_verify = true
timeout = 5
api_version = 3

[somewhere]
url = https://some.whe.re
private_token = vTbFeqJYCY3sibBP7BZM
api_version = 4

[elsewhere]
url = http://else.whe.re:8080
private_token = CkqsjqcQSFH5FQKDccu4

@oupala Thanks for the update.

I have limited time to work on python-gitlab so for now I don't want to add the docker image maintenance to my ToDo list. I've added your Dockerfile and a README to the source code to make it available to the world.

Thank you!

Great! Thanks.
