   Hi,

   I don't know if there's a python-gitlab image, but it's not something I want to maintain myself.

   If someone wants to do the initial work and make sure it is maintained, I'd be happy to host the code in the python-gitlab/ namespace.

   Ok, if I succeed in making a working image, I will use it on a daily basis, so I'm sure I'll be maintaining it.

   So I'll get back on this issue once I get a working image.

   The docker image is now ready.

   Here is the Dockerfile:

   FROM debian:stretch-slim
   
   # Install dependencies
   RUN apt update && \
       apt install -y \
         python-pip
   
   # Install python-gitlab
   RUN pip install --upgrade \
         python-gitlab
   
   # Copy sample configuration file
   COPY python-gitlab.cfg /python-gitlab/python-gitlab.cfg
   
   # Define the entrypoint that enable a configuration file
   ENTRYPOINT ["gitlab", "--config-file", "/python-gitlab/python-gitlab.cfg"]
   

   Here is the sample configuration file that I included in my own image via the COPY instruction (taken from the documentation):

   [global]
   default = somewhere
   ssl_verify = true
   timeout = 5
   api_version = 3
   
   [somewhere]
   url = https://some.whe.re
   private_token = vTbFeqJYCY3sibBP7BZM
   api_version = 4
   
   [elsewhere]
   url = http://else.whe.re:8080
   private_token = CkqsjqcQSFH5FQKDccu4
   timeout = 1
   

   You'll have to provide your own configuration file on the command line:

   docker run -it -v /path/to/my/configuration/of/python-gitlab.cfg:/python-gitlab/python-gitlab.cfg python-gitlab <my command>
   

   Which could lead to:

   docker run -it -v /path/to/my/configuration/of/python-gitlab.cfg:/python-gitlab/python-gitlab.cfg python-gitlab project list
   

   You can register this command as an alias:

   alias gitlab='docker run --rm -it -v /path/to/my/configuration/of/python-gitlab.cfg:/python-gitlab/python-gitlab.cfg python-gitlab'
   

   Which could lead to:

   gitlab project list
   

   I'm using this image successfully as CLI. There some more work to achieve in order to use the API.

   Could you please reopen the bug for the moment?

   And feel free to merge these materials within the git repository, or in another one. It would be greate to enable automatic build and publication to the docker hub.

   Thanks for this Dockerfile. A couple questions about your choices:

   • Why not use a python base image? pip is already install and the images are very small
   • What about using /python-gitlab.cfg as config file? I don't see the point of having a subdirectory.

   Sorry for the delay and thanks @gpocentek for your comments. You're right for both of them.

   I now use a python image, python:slim image. I also deleted the subdirectory. All is working well.

   Here is the Dockerfile:

   FROM python:slim
   
   # Install python-gitlab
   RUN pip install --upgrade python-gitlab
   
   # Copy sample configuration file
   COPY python-gitlab.cfg /
   
   # Define the entrypoint that enable a configuration file
   ENTRYPOINT ["gitlab", "--config-file", "/python-gitlab.cfg"]
   

   Here is the sample configuration file that I included in my own image via the COPY instruction (taken from the documentation):

   [global]
   default = somewhere
   ssl_verify = true
   timeout = 5
   api_version = 3
   
   [somewhere]
   url = https://some.whe.re
   private_token = vTbFeqJYCY3sibBP7BZM
   api_version = 4
   
   [elsewhere]
   url = http://else.whe.re:8080
   private_token = CkqsjqcQSFH5FQKDccu4
   timeout = 1
   

   You'll have to provide your own configuration file on the command line:

   docker run -it -v /path/to/my/configuration/of/python-gitlab.cfg:/python-gitlab.cfg python-gitlab <my command>
   

   Which could lead to:

   docker run -it -v /path/to/my/configuration/of/python-gitlab.cfg:/python-gitlab.cfg python-gitlab project list
   

   You can register this command as an alias:

   alias gitlab='docker run --rm -it -v /path/to/my/configuration/of/python-gitlab.cfg:/python-gitlab.cfg python-gitlab'
   

   Which could lead to:

   gitlab project list

    @oupala Thanks for the update.

    I have limited time to work on python-gitlab so for now I don't want to add the docker image maintenance to my ToDo list. I've added your Dockerfile and a README to the source code to make it available to the world.

    Thank you!
