Gitea Server Installation on a Raspberry Pi
Create a 'git' user:
$ sudo adduser git
Login as the 'git' user and download the gitea binary from the gitea website (choose the latest version):
wget -O gitea https://dl.gitea.io/gitea/1.14.5/gitea-1.14.5-linux-amd64
chmod +x gitea
Create a service. We're keeping it simple here so we don't need a lot of the database-specific stuff:
[Unit]
Description=Gitea (Git with a cup of tea)
After=syslog.target
After=network.target
[Service]
# Modify these two values and uncomment them if you have
# repos with lots of files and get an HTTP error 500 because
# of that
#LimitMEMLOCK=infinity
#LimitNOFILE=65535
RestartSec=2s
Type=simple
User=git
Group=git
WorkingDirectory=/home/git/
# If using Unix socket: tells systemd to create the /run/gitea folder, which will contain the gitea.sock file
# (manually creating /run/gitea doesn't work, because it would not persist across reboots)
#RuntimeDirectory=gitea
ExecStart=/home/git/gitea web --config /home/git/custom/conf/app.ini
Restart=always
Environment=USER=git HOME=/home/git GITEAWORKDIR=/home/git
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
Enable and start Gitea at boot:
sudo systemctl enable gitea
sudo systemctl start gitea
