setting up gitea

this guide is obsoleted by https://pub.nethence.com/system/ansible/playbooks/gitea/

requirementsrequirements

ideally docker ce incl. compose

docker version
docker compose version

setupsetup

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

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 – that’s just the database setting on one side and the client (gitea) setting on another.

interestingly enough, that gitea image runs the s6 init
