DNS Configuration

Configure your DNS or modify your hosts file:

  • For Unix-like systems: Edit /etc/hosts
  • For Windows: Edit C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts

Add the following line:

1
127.0.0.1 gerrit.x.internal

Run

STEP-1: Run Gerrit docker init setup from docker

Uncomment the command: init option in compose.yml and run Gerrit with docker-compose in foreground.

1
docker compose up gerrit

Wait until you see in the output the message Initialized /var/gerrit and then the container will exit.

STEP-2: Start Gerrit in daemon mode

Comment out the command: init option in docker-compose.yaml and start all the docker-compose nodes:

1
docker compose up -d

Access: https://gerrit.x.internal
