git-sync/demo

git-blog-demo

This demo shows how to use the git-sync sidekick container along side volumes and volumeMounts to create a markdown powered blog.

How it works

The pod is composed of 3 containers that share directories using 2 volumes:

• The git-sync container clones a git repo into the markdown volume
• The hugo container read from the markdown volume and render it into the html volume.
• The nginx container serve the content from the html volume.

Usage

Build demo containers (Optional)

Build the demo containers, and push them to a registry

docker build -t <some-registry>/git-sync ..
docker build -t <some-registry>/hugo hugo/
docker push <some-registry>/hugo <some-registry>/git-sync

If you end up using a different registry, be sure to update config/deployment.yaml.

Create the pod and the service for the blog

kubectl create -f config

Open the service external ip in your browser
