gitness v0.1.0

Dev tools

Harness Open Source (Gitness) — a self-hosted Git platform with pull requests, built-in CI/CD pipelines, artifact registries and web IDE, all in one lightweight binary. Deployed as a single host-networked Nomad service.

nomad-pack run gitness --registry nomploy

…or one line (add registry + run)

curl -fsSL https://packs.nomploy.com/install.sh | sh -s -- gitness

Needs nomad-pack on PATH. The script only adds the nomploy registry and runs this pack.

Back up this pack

This pack stores data in one Docker named volume: gitness_data

restic

# Run on the node hosting this pack. Point restic at your repo first:
#   export RESTIC_REPOSITORY="s3:https://<account>.r2.cloudflarestorage.com/<bucket>"
#   export RESTIC_PASSWORD="<repo-password>"
#   export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=<key>  AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=<secret>
restic backup \
  /var/lib/docker/volumes/gitness_data/_data

rclone (sync to S3/R2)

rclone sync /var/lib/docker/volumes/gitness_data/_data backup:<bucket>/gitness_data

Paths assume the default Docker volume location (/var/lib/docker/volumes). Restore by stopping the job, restoring files into the same volume, and re-running the pack.

Readme

gitness

Harness Open Source (formerly Gitness) is a self-hosted, all-in-one development platform: Git repository hosting with pull requests and code review, built-in CI/CD pipelines, artifact registries, a web IDE and more — all shipped as a single lightweight binary with an embedded database. A lean alternative to running Gitea + a separate CI system.

This pack runs it as a single host-networked Nomad service.

Deploy

nomad-pack run gitness --registry=nomploy

Open http://<node-ip>:3000 and create the admin account.

Configuration

Variable	Default	Description
`image`	`harness/harness:latest`	Container image (pin a tag in production).
`port`	`3000`	Host port for the web UI / API.
`ssh_port`	`3022`	Host port for Git over SSH.
`data_volume`	`gitness_data`	Volume for the database and repositories (`/data`).
`docker_sock`	`/var/run/docker.sock`	Docker socket for CI/CD; set `""` to disable pipelines.
`resources`	1000 MHz / 1024 MB	CPU and memory for the task.

Note: Mounting the Docker socket lets pipelines start containers directly on the host — grant it only on nodes you trust. Set docker_sock="" to run Gitness purely as a Git host without CI.

The database and repositories persist in data_volume.
