      context: ..
      dockerfile: docker/sidecar/Dockerfile
    ports:
      - "8001:8001"
    volumes:
      - ../sidecar/src:/app/src
      - ./workspace:/workspace:rw
      # Mount GitHub App private key
      - ./secrets:/app/secrets:ro
    environment:
      <<: *common-environment
    healthcheck:
      test: ["CMD", "curl", "-f", "http://localhost:8001/health"]
      interval: 30s
      timeout: 10s
      retries: 3
      start_period: 30s
    networks:
      - default
      # Remove gitea network, add github network if needed
```

### **2. Enhanced Sidecar Dockerfile**

```dockerfile
# docker/sidecar/Dockerfile (updated)

FROM python:3.11-slim

ENV PYTHONUNBUFFERED=1
ENV PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE=1

# Install system dependencies (including GitHub App requirements)
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y \
    git \
    gnupg \
    openssh-client \
    curl \
    ca-certificates \
    && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

WORKDIR /app

# Copy requirements with GitHub dependencies
COPY sidecar/requirements.txt .
RUN pip install --no-cache-dir -r requirements.txt

# Copy application code
COPY sidecar/src/ ./src/

# Create secrets directory for GitHub App private key
RUN mkdir -p /app/secrets && chmod 700 /app/secrets

# Create non-root user
RUN useradd --create-home --shell /bin/bash celn
RUN chown -R celn:celn /app

USER celn

# Git configuration for container environment
RUN git config --global --add safe.directory /tmp && \
    git config --global --add safe.directory /workspace

# GitHub Enterprise SSL certificate handling (if needed)
# RUN git config --global http.sslVerify false  # Only for development

EXPOSE 8001

CMD ["python", "-m", "uvicorn", "src.main:app", "--host", "0.0.0.0", "--port", "8001"]
```

### **3. Updated Requirements File**

```txt
# sidecar/requirements.txt (additions for GitHub support)

# Existing dependencies...
fastapi>=0.104.0
uvicorn[standard]>=0.24.0

python-gnupg>=0.5.0
requests>=2.32.4

# NEW: GitHub App Integration
PyGithub>=1.59.0
jwt>=1.7.1  # For GitHub App JWT authentication
```

### **4. Secrets Management Structure**

```bash
# docker/secrets/ directory structure
docker/
├── secrets/
│   ├── github-app-private-key.pem    # GitHub App private key
│   ├── .gitignore                    # Exclude secrets from git
│   └── README.md                     # Instructions for setup
├── docker-compose.yml
└── ...
```

```bash
# docker/secrets/.gitignore
# Never commit these files
*.pem
*.key
*.env
*.token
```

### **5. Environment Configuration Template**

```bash
# docker/.env.github-enterprise.template
# Copy to .env and customize

# GitHub Enterprise Configuration
GITHUB_ENTERPRISE_URL=https://github.yourcompany.com
GITHUB_ENTERPRISE_ORG=your-research-org

# GitHub App Credentials (from your GitHub App)
GITHUB_APP_ID=123456
GITHUB_APP_INSTALLATION_ID=78910

# Authentication Settings
GITHUB_AUTH_MODE=app
ALLOWED_DOMAINS=yourcompany.com,contractor.com

# Repository Settings
DEFAULT_REPO_PRIVATE=true
REPO_TEMPLATE=research-notebook-template
SINGLE_REPO_PER_USER=true

# User Git Configuration
GIT_USER_NAME=Research User
GIT_USER_EMAIL=user@yourcompany.com
```

### **6. GitHub App Private Key Setup**

```bash
#!/bin/bash
# docker/setup-github-secrets.sh

# Script to set up GitHub App secrets securely

echo "Setting up GitHub Enterprise secrets..."

# Create secrets directory
mkdir -p docker/secrets
chmod 700 docker/secrets

# Download your GitHub App private key from GitHub Enterprise
echo "Place your GitHub App private key at: docker/secrets/github-app-private-key.pem"
echo "Ensure the file has proper permissions (600)"

# Set proper permissions
chmod 600 docker/secrets/github-app-private-key.pem 2>/dev/null || echo "Private key file not found yet"

echo "Setup complete!"
echo "Don't forget to:"
echo "1. Copy docker/.env.github-enterprise.template to docker/.env"
echo "2. Update the values in docker/.env"
echo "3. Place your GitHub App private key in docker/secrets/"
```

### **7. Updated Service Architecture**

The sidecar service now includes:

```python
# sidecar/src/services/github_enterprise_service.py
from github import Github, GithubIntegration
import jwt
import time
from typing import Dict, Any

class GitHubEnterpriseService:
    """GitHub Enterprise service with App authentication."""
    
    def __init__(self, config_service: ConfigService):
        self.config = config_service
        self.github_app = self._init_github_app()
        self._installation_token_cache = {}
    
    def _init_github_app(self) -> GithubIntegration:
        """Initialize GitHub App integration."""
        private_key_path = self.config.github_app_private_key_path
        
        with open(private_key_path, 'r') as key_file:
            private_key = key_file.read()
        
        return GithubIntegration(
            integration_id=self.config.github_app_id,
            private_key=private_key,
            base_url=f"{self.config.github_enterprise_url}/api/v3"
        )
    
    async def setup_repository(self, repo_path: str) -> "GitHubSetupResult":
        """Set up repository using GitHub App permissions."""
        # Implementation maintains same interface as existing services
        user_info = self._get_git_user_info(repo_path)
        
        # Create repository in organization
        github_user = await self._resolve_github_user(user_info["email"])
        repo_result = await self._create_user_repository(github_user, user_info)
        
        return GitHubSetupResult(
            success=True,
            repository_url=repo_result["repo_url"],
            push_url=repo_result["push_url"]
        )
```

### **8. Docker Compose Commands**

```bash
# Development with GitHub Enterprise
cd docker/
cp .env.github-enterprise.template .env
# Edit .env with your values

# Start services
docker-compose up -d

# View logs
docker-compose logs sidecar
docker-compose logs jupyterlab

# Rebuild after code changes
docker-compose build sidecar
docker-compose up -d sidecar
```

### **9. Production Docker Build**

```bash
# Build production images
docker build -f docker/sidecar/Dockerfile -t git-lock-sign-jlx/sidecar:latest .
docker build -f docker/jupyterlab/Dockerfile.optimized -t git-lock-sign-jlx/jupyterlab:latest .

# Tag for registry
docker tag git-lock-sign-jlx/sidecar:latest yourregistry.com/git-lock-sign-jlx/sidecar:v1.0.0
docker tag git-lock-sign-jlx/jupyterlab:latest yourregistry.com/git-lock-sign-jlx/jupyterlab:v1.0.0

# Push to registry
docker push yourregistry.com/git-lock-sign-jlx/sidecar:v1.0.0
docker push yourregistry.com/git-lock-sign-jlx/jupyterlab:v1.0.0
```

### **Key Benefits of This Docker Approach:**

1. **Same Interface**: GitHub Enterprise service maintains exact same API as GitLab/Gitea services
2. **Secure Secrets**: Private keys mounted as read-only volumes
3. **Environment Flexibility**: Easy switching between Git providers via environment variables
4. **Development Friendly**: Code mounted for live development
5. **Production Ready**: Proper secret management and health checks

The user experience remains identical - users just work locally and push, while the extension handles all GitHub Enterprise authentication and repository management automatically!

Exactly right! **Registering a GitHub App in your organization is the essential first step** before any of the Docker deployment will work. Let me walk you through this prerequisite setup process.

## **Step 1: GitHub App Registration (Organizational Setup)**

### **1.1 Create GitHub App in Your Organization**

**Navigate to your GitHub Enterprise organization:**
```
https://github.yourcompany.com/organizations/YOUR_ORG/settings/apps
```

**Click "New GitHub App" and configure:**

```yaml
# GitHub App Configuration
App Name: "JupyterLab Git Extension"
Description: "Automated git repository management for JupyterLab users"
Homepage URL: "https://jupyter.yourcompany.com"
User authorization callback URL: "https://jupyter.yourcompany.com/auth/callback"
Webhook URL: "https://jupyter.yourcompany.com/webhooks/github" (optional)
Webhook secret: <generate-random-secret>

# Permissions (Repository level):
Repository permissions:
  - Contents: Read & Write
  - Metadata: Read
  - Pull requests: Read & Write
  - Administration: Write (for creating repos)

# Permissions (Organization level):
Organization permissions:
  - Members: Read (to validate user emails)
  - Administration: Read (to list organization repos)

# Where can this GitHub App be installed?
☑ Only on this account (YOUR_ORG)
```

### **1.2 After App Creation - Collect Credentials**

**You'll get these values that go into your Docker environment:**

```bash
# From the GitHub App settings page:
GITHUB_APP_ID=123456                    # App ID (visible on settings)
GITHUB_APP_CLIENT_ID=Iv1.abc123         # Client ID (for OAuth)
GITHUB_APP_CLIENT_SECRET=abc123xyz      # Generate client secret

# Download the private key:
# Click "Generate a private key" → downloads .pem file
# Place this in: docker/secrets/github-app-private-key.pem
```

### **1.3 Install the App in Your Organization**

```bash
# Installation step (one-time):
# 1. Go to: https://github.yourcompany.com/organizations/YOUR_ORG/settings/installations
# 2. Click "Install" on your new app
# 3. Choose "All repositories" or "Selected repositories"
# 4. Note the Installation ID from URL: /settings/installations/INSTALLATION_ID
```

**The Installation ID goes into your environment:**
```bash
GITHUB_APP_INSTALLATION_ID=78910  # From installation URL
```

## **Step 2: Repository Template Setup (Optional but Recommended)**

### **2.1 Create Repository Template**

```bash
# Create a template repository in your organization:
# Repository name: "jupyter-research-template"
# Template repository: ☑ Template repository

# Add standard files:
├── .gitignore           # Python/Jupyter gitignore
├── README.md           # Template README
├── environment.yml     # Conda environment
└── notebooks/          # Standard directory structure
    └── .gitkeep
```

### **2.2 Template Repository Configuration**

```yaml
# Template repository settings:
Repository name: jupyter-research-template
Description: "Standard template for Jupyter research projects"
Visibility: Private (recommended for org)
☑ Template repository
☑ Include all branches

# Branch protection (optional):
main branch:
  - Require pull request reviews: false (for individual work)
  - Require status checks: false
  - Restrict pushes: false
```

## **Step 3: Docker Environment Configuration**

### **3.1 Complete Environment Setup**

```bash
# docker/.env (with real values from Steps 1-2)

# GitHub Enterprise Configuration
GITHUB_ENTERPRISE_URL=https://github.yourcompany.com
GITHUB_ENTERPRISE_ORG=your-research-org

# GitHub App Credentials (from Step 1.2)
GITHUB_APP_ID=123456
GITHUB_APP_INSTALLATION_ID=78910
GITHUB_APP_CLIENT_ID=Iv1.abc123
GITHUB_APP_CLIENT_SECRET=abc123xyz

# Repository Settings (from Step 2)
REPO_TEMPLATE=jupyter-research-template
DEFAULT_REPO_PRIVATE=true
ALLOWED_DOMAINS=yourcompany.com,contractor.com

# Service Configuration
GIT_SERVER=github_enterprise
GITHUB_AUTH_MODE=app
```

### **3.2 Private Key Placement**

```bash
# Place the downloaded private key:
mkdir -p docker/secrets
cp ~/Downloads/your-app-name.2024-01-15.private-key.pem docker/secrets/github-app-private-key.pem
chmod 600 docker/secrets/github-app-private-key.pem
```

## **Step 4: Test the Setup**

### **4.1 Verification Script**

```python
# scripts/test_github_app.py
import os
from github import GithubIntegration

def test_github_app_setup():
    """Test GitHub App authentication and permissions."""
    
    # Load environment
    app_id = os.getenv('GITHUB_APP_ID')
    installation_id = os.getenv('GITHUB_APP_INSTALLATION_ID')
    private_key_path = 'docker/secrets/github-app-private-key.pem'
    github_url = os.getenv('GITHUB_ENTERPRISE_URL')
    
    print(f"Testing GitHub App ID: {app_id}")
    print(f"Installation ID: {installation_id}")
    print(f"GitHub URL: {github_url}")
    
    # Test App authentication
    with open(private_key_path, 'r') as key_file:
        private_key = key_file.read()
    
    integration = GithubIntegration(
        integration_id=app_id,
        private_key=private_key,
        base_url=f"{github_url}/api/v3"
    )
    
    # Get installation token
    token = integration.get_access_token(installation_id)
    print(f"✅ Successfully obtained installation token")
    
    # Test repository access
    from github import Github
    github = Github(base_url=f"{github_url}/api/v3", auth=token)
    
    org = github.get_organization('your-research-org')
    repos = list(org.get_repos())
    print(f"✅ Can access {len(repos)} repositories in organization")
    
    print("🎉 GitHub App setup successful!")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    test_github_app_setup()
```

### **4.2 Run the Test**

```bash
cd docker/
python ../scripts/test_github_app.py
```

## **Step 5: Organizational Considerations**

### **5.1 Security Best Practices**

```yaml
GitHub App Security:
  - Private Key: Store securely, never in git
  - Webhook Secret: Use strong random value
  - Permissions: Minimal required permissions only
  - Installation: Restrict to specific repositories if possible

Docker Security:
  - Secrets: Mount as read-only volumes
  - Network: Restrict egress to GitHub Enterprise only
  - User: Run containers as non-root
```

### **5.2 User Onboarding**

```markdown
# User Instructions (for your organization)

## Getting Started with JupyterLab Git Extension

1. **Access JupyterLab**: https://jupyter.yourcompany.com
2. **Email Domain**: Must use @yourcompany.com email in git config
3. **Repository Creation**: Automatic - just start working!
4. **Repository Location**: https://github.yourcompany.com/your-research-org/

## First-Time Setup
The extension will automatically:
- Create your personal repository from the template
- Set up git configuration
- Enable push/pull to GitHub Enterprise

No manual GitHub setup required!
```

### **5.3 Admin Monitoring**

```bash
# Check GitHub App usage
# GitHub Enterprise → Organizations → Your Org → Settings → GitHub Apps → Your App
# View: Installations, Permissions, Events

# Monitor repository creation
# GitHub Enterprise → Organizations → Your Org → Repositories
# Filter: Recently created
```

So yes, you're absolutely right - **GitHub App registration is the critical first step** that enables everything else. Without it, the Docker containers won't be able to authenticate with GitHub Enterprise or create repositories automatically.

The flow is:
1. **Org Admin**: Register GitHub App (Steps 1-2)
2. **Dev Team**: Configure Docker environment (Steps 3-4) 
3. **Users**: Just use JupyterLab normally (automatic setup)a
