setting up gitea

DRAFT: we are stuck with db access issue

requirements

apt install docker-compose

setup

as root

#docker rm -f gitea_server_1 gitea_db_1
#rm -rf /data/gitea/
mkdir -p /data/gitea/
chown -R USER:users /data/gitea/

as user

follow the guide but we used those

cd /data/gitea/
vi docker-compose.yaml

version: "2"

services:
  server:
    image: gitea/gitea:latest
    environment:
      - GITEA__database__DB_TYPE=mysql
      - GITEA__database__HOST=db:3306
      - GITEA__database__NAME=gitea
      - GITEA__database__USER=gitea
      - GITEA__database__PASSWD=PASSWORD
    restart: always
    volumes:
      - /data/gitea/data:/data
      - /etc/timezone:/etc/timezone:ro
      - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
    ports:
      - "127.0.0.1:3000:3000"
      - "22222:22"
    depends_on:
      - db

  db:
    image: mysql:latest
    restart: always
    environment:
      - MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=SOME-OTHER-PASSWORD
      - MYSQL_USER=gitea
      - MYSQL_PASSWORD=PASSWORD
      - MYSQL_DATABASE=gitea
    volumes:
      - /data/gitea/mysql:/var/lib/mysql

note password needs to be identical for MYSQL_PASSWORD and GITEA__database__PASSWD

apply

docker-compose up -d
docker ps

nginx

as root

netstat -lntup | grep docker
cd /etc/nginx/conf.d/
vi gitea.conf

        location / {
                client_max_body_size 512M;
                proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:3000;
                proxy_set_header Connection $http_connection;
                proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
                proxy_set_header Host $host;
                proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
                proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
                proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
        }

nginx -s reload

install wizard

https://gitea.nethence.com/

ssh server port: 22222

+ email settings / from abuse@

+ third-party / hidden email domain

+ admin account / gitea-admin / abuse@

fix email settings

vi /data/gitea/data/conf/app.ini

[mailer]
ENABLED = true
SMTP_ADDR = 172.17.0.1
SMTP_PORT = 25
PROTOCOL = smtp+starttls
FROM = abuse@nethence.com
USER =
PASSWD =

additional notes

interestingly enough, that gitea image runs the s6 init

PID   USER     TIME  COMMAND
    1 root      0:00 /bin/s6-svscan /etc/s6
   15 root      0:00 s6-supervise gitea
   16 root      0:00 s6-supervise openssh
   17 root      0:00 sshd: /usr/sbin/sshd -D -e [listener] 0 of 10-100 startups
   18 git       0:00 /usr/local/bin/gitea web
