docker-git-puller
A docker container that pulls a git repo (updates it) every given amount of time (default 60s) with a shell script.
Purpose
There are many scenarios where such a container could help. For example (as I use it), this image could be used to pull a hugo built website (living in a public git repo) to a local folder, so that another docker container can serve the most recent files.
See the docker-compose example for a quick overview how this works.
Building
Building this docker image is quite easy. For a quick start, just use this:
docker build -t git-puller .
After this is done successfully, you can check out the new image in your local image store with docker images.
