Description

We Should apply the Sidekick Pattern for creating docker images that get configured from outside:

  • Better support for large deployments
  • Better usability

At Present we are solving building and configuration in the main gitlab image we should source that out to sidekick containers or a single sidekick at first

that means the sidekick container aka gitlab-config will have all mounts that it needs for configuration it will then start via volumes-from gitlab and configure it

configuration is:
bundle tasks
nodejs asset tasks

this will introduce also a new base image called gitlab-base where we install all build requirments like:

  • Ruby
  • Go
  • Node

later we should probally isolate that images also and use the nativ node:, ruby Go* images.

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by examining the main GitLab image and its current bundle and Node.js asset tasks, then determine the required mounts and responsibilities for the proposed gitlab-config sidekick and gitlab-base image; done would require an agreed container architecture and working build/configuration flow.
