Note

See the full Salt Formulas installation and usage instructions.

Notes

Gogs currently has no good way to automate the creation of the initial admin user. As a work-around until a solution can be found the following manual steps can be performed:

1. Set the gogs config directory to be world writable so that the installer can write to it:

   chmod 777 /etc/gogs

2. Edit the /etc/gogs/app.ini file to enable the installer:

   30c30
   < INSTALL_LOCK = true
   ---
   > INSTALL_LOCK = false

3. Browse to http(s)://<hostname>/install to run the installer and set up an admin account.

4. Run salt to reconfigure the /etc/gogs/app.ini file and set the correct permissions on the config directory:

   salt-call state.apply --output-diff

---

Alternatively you could manually create the admin user by inserting a new row in the user table in the database. Some details on this can be found in the followin puppet gogs module:
