# Gerrit replica init container image

Kubernetes init container for initializing gerrit. The python script running in
the container initializes Gerrit including the installation of configured
plugins.

## Content

* gerrit-base image

## Setup and configuration

* install python 3
* copy tool scripts

## Start

* start the container via start script `python3 /var/tools/gerrit-initializer init`

The `main.py init`-command

* reads configuration from gerrit.config (via `gerrit_config_parser.py`)
* initializes Gerrit

The `main.py validate_notedb`-command

* validates and waits for the repository `All-Projects.git` with the refs
`refs/meta/config`.
* validates and waits for the repository `All-Users.git` with the ref
`refs/meta/config`.
