Quick start

One command, six questions, and a first scan.

One line. It clones the project and walks you through the rest.

curl -fsSL https://git.failoverlb.net/github-code-review/-/raw/master/get-gcr.sh | bash

You need git and docker with the compose plugin, and a user that can talk to the docker daemon. That is the whole list.

What it asks

Six questions, all with sensible defaults. Press enter to take them.

1. Where it listens. Loopback and port 8080 by default. Put a reverse proxy in front for TLS.
2. How people sign in. Local with two step, your identity provider, or both.
3. Identity provider details, only if you picked one of those.
4. GitHub access. A token, or a GitHub App if you are behind SSO.
5. Where the reports go. /data/docker/github-code-review/reports unless you say otherwise.

Then it builds the image, starts the container, waits for the health check, and prints your sign in details:

  +--------------------------------------------------------------+
  |  SIGN IN WITH THIS                                           |
  +--------------------------------------------------------------+
     username:  admin
     password:  a-long-random-one-goes-here
  +--------------------------------------------------------------+

That password is generated on first boot and written to one file inside the database volume, mode 600. The app deletes it once that account has changed its password and set up two step.

If you miss it:

docker compose exec github-code-review \
  cat /data/docker/github-code-review/db/first-admin.txt

First sign in

You will be asked to change the password and set up two step before you can reach anything. Save the recovery codes somewhere that is not the laptop you just set them up on.

Running it again

Safe. It reads your existing .env and offers what is already there, so you can change one answer without retyping the rest.

cd /data/docker/github-code-review
./install.sh

Somewhere other than the default

GCR_DIR=/srv/gcr curl -fsSL https://git.failoverlb.net/github-code-review/-/raw/master/get-gcr.sh | bash

Updating

cd /data/docker/github-code-review
git pull
docker compose build && docker compose up -d

Or just run the one liner again. It pulls and rebuilds if the project is already there.

Getting rid of it

docker compose down       # keeps the database and the reports
docker compose down -v    # takes the volumes too

The reports directory is a bind mount on the host, so down -v leaves it alone. Delete that yourself if you want it gone.
