Gitness VM

- 8GB RAM
- 100GB free disk space

Create the Virtual Machines manually or using Packer template and clone using Terraform/OpenTofu. I have used the OpenTofu code, which will create VM with the required configuration
Tofu/terrform code to create Gitness VM from template Login to VM and install docker ce using the following commands.
