>Thank you for the advice, which got me on the right track.  I think those
commands probably would have worked as-is, but my ideal state was having
RANCID's local git workspace wire directly back to my git server *only* and
not also push to the local ($CVSROOT) git repo.

 

>So my steps were the following, picking up after the "sudo -H -u rancid
/mnt/rancid/rancid/bin/rancid-cvs" command:

 

>1) Create new empty 'rancid-<group>' repository on my (external) master git
server (Atlassian Bitbucket, in my case).

 

>2) Create 'rancid' user on my master git server, and give it read/write
permission to the new repo.

 

>3) Store 'rancid' user git credentials on my RANCID server, which requires
a temporary clone that is then immediately deleted.

 

sudo -H -u rancid git config --global user.name "rancid"

sudo -H -u rancid git config --global user.email "rancid@<mydomain>"

sudo -H -u rancid git config --global credential.helper store

sudo -H -u rancid git clone https://rancid@
<https://rancid@%3cmy-git-server%3e/scm/rancid-%3cgroup%3e.git>
<my-git-server>/scm/rancid-<group>.git

(enter 'rancid' user passwords when prompted)

sudo -H -u rancid rm -rf rancid-all

 

>4) Re-wire RANCID's git workspace to the master git server, instead of its
local git server/repo.  Uses my particular RANCID installation path and
group name ("all").

 

>cd /mnt/rancid/rancid/var/all

sudo -H -u rancid git remote set-url origin https://rancid@
<https://rancid@%3cmy-git-server%3e/scm/rancid-all.git>
<my-git-server>/scm/rancid-all.git

sudo -H -u rancid git push -u origin --all

sudo -H -u rancid git push origin --tags

 

 

>At this point, I made a change to a network device, waited for my next cron
execution of rancid-run, and then observed the changes in my master git
repo, so I believe it was all working well.

 

Was or is? Big difference!
