Gitea install

Installation

For SME10For Rocky 8

This is how I installed the latest version of Gitea (https://gitea.io) on my smeserver build box (this is running smeserver v10.1 in serveronly)

	Note:
	There is a smeserver contrib for Git and gitweb, but I did not use these as they only provide older versions of git, whereas we wanted the latest versions for use with gitea

First we need to install git (latest stable version at the time)

export GITVER=2.39.1-1
wget http://opensource.wandisco.com/centos/7/git/x86_64/git-${GITVER}.WANdisco.x86_64.rpm
wget http://opensource.wandisco.com/centos/7/git/x86_64/perl-Git-${GITVER}.WANdisco.noarch.rpm
yum localinstall git-${GITVER}.WANdisco.x86_64.rpm perl-Git-${GITVER}.WANdisco.noarch.rpm

Next we'll install gitea (latest stable version at the time)

export GITEAVER=1.18.5
wget https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/releases/download/v${GITEAVER}/gitea-${GITEAVER}-linux-amd64 -O /usr/local/bin/gitea
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/gitea
useradd git
mkdir -p /etc/gitea /var/lib/gitea/{custom,data,indexers,public,log}
chown git:git /var/lib/gitea/{data,indexers,log}
chmod 750 /var/lib/gitea/{data,indexers,log}
chown root:git /etc/gitea
chmod 770 /etc/gitea

Now we want to set it up as a service and ensure that it will be restarted on reboot.

config set gitea service status enabled
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/go-gitea/gitea/main/contrib/systemd/gitea.service -O /usr/lib/systemd/system/gitea.service
mkdir /usr/lib/systemd/system/gitea.service.d
cat <<EOT > /usr/lib/systemd/system/gitea.service.d/50koozali.conf
[Install]
WantedBy=sme-server.target
EOT

Now we setup gitea on your server

systemctl start gitea

Access the setup page via a browser http://<your-smeserver-IP>:3000

I found it easiest to just use SQLite3 (built in to smeserver v10)

Make sure that you set your Server Domain and Gitea Base URL to the correct values for your server.

You will likely have to refresh the browser and then it will ask you to login.

You can setup your users via the web interface.

If you are having problems accessing gitea, check the app.ini file to ensure that the ROOT_URL is correct in

nano /etc/gitea/app.ini

if you change it, you'll need to restart gitea

systemctl restart gitea
