Gitea is a painless self-hosted Git service. It is somewhat similar to GitHub, Bitbucket and Gitlab. As well as support for Git revision control, it also provides issue tracking and development wiki pages. Gitea is a fork of Gogs, a lightweight code hosting solution written in Go and published under the MIT license.
This appliance includes all the standard features in TurnKey Core, and on top of that:
Gitea configurations:
Gitea binary installed from latest upstream to /home/git/gitea.
Security note: Updates to Gitea may require supervision so they ARE NOT configured to install automatically. See the "Updating to a new version" section in the Gitea documentation for upgrade instructions.
- Set Gitea admin password and email on firstboot (convenience, security).
- Set Gitea domain to serve on first boot (convenience).
- Pre-configured to use MySQL (MariaDB) (recommended for production).
- Includes Nginx pre-configured to reverse proxy to Gitea daemon, with SSL support out of the box (performance, security).
- Includes postfix MTA (bound to localhost) for sending of email (e.g. password recovery). Also includes webmin postfix module for convenience.
As of TurnKey Gitea v18.0, Gitea Actions are supported and enabled by default. Pre-built Act runner binaries can be downloaded from Gitea. Builds on the Gitea host is supported but discouraged, unless using Docker (which requires additional install).
For further info, please read the Gitea Actions docs. Please see the act_runner Readme for links to examples.
- Webmin, SSH, MySQL: username root
- Gitea: username gitea (or email entered at firstboot)
