• gitolite_repositories: Configure default repositories from gitolite (gitolite-admin/conf/gitolite.conf).

This is a data structure which allows to define repositories with access controls for

• admin
• write
• read

access, including option strings for Git repository internal structure or operations, e.g. configure write access to a list of users for the refs/heads/tags tree only. A complete example is in defaults/main.yml. The defaults configure gitolite like a bare/fresh install and it might be advisable to at least allow admin access to an SSH user in gitolite_accounts_ssh array.

• gitolite_repositories_custom: Allows to create custom repositories. gitolite will NOT get configured if not BOTH gitolite_repositories and gitolite_repositories_custom are configured. Data structure is identical to gitolite_repositories.
• gitolite_accounts_ssh: List of SSH public keys to be added to gitolite-admin/keydir/. SSH keys are read from files/gitolite/users/ssh/*.pub relative to the playbooks top level directory (default: [])

https support is very basic and not feature complete. It's not possible to configure usable authentication providers with Apache right now, so it's completely commented out. The following variables are not implemented yet.

• gitolite_ssl_certificate_subject: If a SSL certificate gets generated this is the string for the OpenSSL '-subj' switch (default: /C=DE/ST=Hamburg/L=Hamburg/O=IT/CN={{ gitolite_httpd_sitename }})
