# Gitea

Self hosted Git

Followed instructions on Gitea page: https://docs.gitea.com/next/installation/install-with-docker

### Steps
	
1. Create a new user to own the gitea folder.

`sudo groupadd gitea && sudo useradd giteauser && sudo usermod -a -G gitea giteauser && chown -r gitea:giteauser .`

2. Run via Docker Compose

`docker-compose up -d`

3. Test postgresql

`docker exec -it gitea_database bash`

`psql -h 127.0.0.1 -p 5432 -U gitea`

4. Stop server and set value in app.ini.

Add magic line to /data/persistent/gitea/gitea/gitea/conf/app.ini because local workers will otherwise assume they can use our custom port 3300 to reach services locally. Have to specify local url here.

This goes in the [server] section. (https://docs.gitea.com/next/administration/config-cheat-sheet)

`LOCAL_ROOT_URL = http://localhost:3000/`

Then start containers again.

5. Go to xxx.xxx.xx.xxx:3300 and fill out initial config.

Some things that were weird: 

- could not use any port that wasnt default postgresql (5432)

- had to make sure to specify database container by the right name. Removed custom name and used just "database".
