This can be different from Gogs. - -## Download - -You can find the file matching your platform from the [downloads page](https://dl.gitea.com/gitea/) after navigating to the version you want to download. - -### Choosing the right file - -**For Linux**, you will likely want `linux-amd64`. It's for 64-bit Intel/AMD platforms, but there are other platforms available, including `arm64` (e.g. Raspberry PI 4), `386` (i.e. 32-bit), `arm-5`, and `arm-6`. - -**For Windows**, you will likely want `windows-4.0-amd64`. It's for all modern versions of Windows, but there is also a `386` platform available designed for older, 32-bit versions of Windows. - -*Note: there is also a `gogit-windows` file available that was created to help with some [performance problems](https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/15482) reported by some Windows users on older systems/versions. You should consider using this file if you're experiencing performance issues, and let us know if it improves performance.* - -**For macOS**, you should choose `darwin-arm64` if your hardware uses Apple Silicon, or `darwin-amd64` for Intel. - -**For FreeBSD**, you should choose `freebsd12-amd64` for 64-bit Intel/AMD platforms. - -### Downloading with wget - -Copy the commands below and replace the URL within the one you wish to download. - -```sh -wget -O gitea https://dl.gitea.com/gitea/@version@/gitea-@version@-linux-amd64 -chmod +x gitea -``` - -Note that the above command will download Gitea @version@ for 64-bit Linux. - -## Verify GPG signature - -Gitea signs all binaries with a [GPG key](https://keys.openpgp.org/search?q=teabot%40gitea.io) to prevent against unwanted modification of binaries. -To validate the binary, download the signature file which ends in `.asc` for the binary you downloaded and use the GPG command line tool. - -```sh -gpg --keyserver keys.openpgp.org --recv 7C9E68152594688862D62AF62D9AE806EC1592E2 -gpg --verify gitea-@version@-linux-amd64.asc gitea-@version@-linux-amd64 -``` - -Look for the text `Good signature from "Teabot <teabot@gitea.io>"` to assert a good binary, -despite warnings like `This key is not certified with a trusted signature!`. - -## Recommended server configuration - -**NOTE:** Many of the following directories can be configured using [Environment Variables](administration/environment-variables.md) as well! -Of note, configuring `GITEA_WORK_DIR` will tell Gitea where to base its working directory, as well as ease installation. - -### Prepare environment - -Check that Git is installed on the server. If it is not, install it first. Gitea requires Git version >= 2.0. - -```sh -git --version -``` - -Create a user to run Gitea (e.g. `git`) - -```sh -# On Ubuntu/Debian: -adduser \ - --system \ - --shell /bin/bash \ - --gecos 'Git Version Control' \ - --group \ - --disabled-password \ - --home /home/git \ - git - -# On Fedora/RHEL/CentOS: -groupadd --system git -adduser \ - --system \ - --shell /bin/bash \ - --comment 'Git Version Control' \ - --gid git \ - --home-dir /home/git \ - --create-home \ - git -``` - -### Create required directory structure - -```sh -mkdir -p /var/lib/gitea/{custom,data,log} -chown -R git:git /var/lib/gitea/ -chmod -R 750 /var/lib/gitea/ -mkdir /etc/gitea -chown root:git /etc/gitea -chmod 770 /etc/gitea -``` - -> **NOTE:** `/etc/gitea` is temporarily set with write permissions for user `git` so that the web installer can write the configuration file. After the installation is finished, it is recommended to set permissions to read-only using: -> -> ```sh -> chmod 750 /etc/gitea -> chmod 640 /etc/gitea/app.ini -> ``` - -If you don't want the web installer to be able to write to the config file, it is possible to make the config file read-only for the Gitea user (owner/group `root:git`, mode `0640`) however you will need to edit your config file manually to: - -* Set `INSTALL_LOCK= true`, -* Ensure all database configuration details are set correctly -* Ensure that the `SECRET_KEY` and `INTERNAL_TOKEN` values are set. (You may want to use the `gitea generate secret` to generate these secret keys.) -* Ensure that any other secret keys you need are set. - -See the [command line documentation](administration/command-line.md) for information on using `gitea generate secret`. - -### Configure Gitea's working directory - -**NOTE:** If you plan on running Gitea as a Linux service, you can skip this step, as the service file allows you to set `WorkingDirectory`. Otherwise, consider setting this environment variable (semi-)permanently so that Gitea consistently uses the correct working directory. - -```sh -export GITEA_WORK_DIR=/var/lib/gitea/ -``` - -### Copy the Gitea binary to a global location - -```sh -cp gitea /usr/local/bin/gitea -``` - -### Adding bash/zsh autocompletion (from 1.19) - -A script to enable bash-completion can be found at [`contrib/autocompletion/bash_autocomplete`](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/go-gitea/gitea/main/contrib/autocompletion/bash_autocomplete). This can be copied to `/usr/share/bash-completion/completions/gitea` -or sourced within your `.bashrc`. - -Similarly a script for zsh-completion can be found at [`contrib/autocompletion/zsh_autocomplete`](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/go-gitea/gitea/main/contrib/autocompletion/zsh_autocomplete). This can be copied to `/usr/share/zsh/_gitea` or sourced within your -`.zshrc`. - -YMMV and these scripts may need further improvement. - -## Running Gitea - -After you complete the above steps, you can run Gitea two ways: - -### 1. Creating a service file to start Gitea automatically (recommended) - -See how to create [Linux service](installation/run-as-service-in-ubuntu.md) - -### 2. Running from command-line/terminal - -```sh -GITEA_WORK_DIR=/var/lib/gitea/ /usr/local/bin/gitea web -c /etc/gitea/app.ini -``` - -## Updating to a new version - -You can update to a new version of Gitea by stopping Gitea, replacing the binary at `/usr/local/bin/gitea` and restarting the instance. -The binary file name should not be changed during the update to avoid problems in existing repositories. - -It is recommended that you make a [backup](administration/backup-and-restore.md) before updating your installation. - -If you have carried out the installation steps as described above, the binary should -have the generic name `gitea`. Do not change this, i.e. to include the version number. - -### 1. Restarting Gitea with systemd (recommended) - -As we explained before, we recommend to use systemd as the service manager. In this case, `systemctl restart gitea` should be fine. - -### 2. Restarting Gitea without systemd - -To restart your Gitea instance, we recommend to use SIGHUP signal. If you know your Gitea PID, use `kill -1 $GITEA_PID`, otherwise you can use `killall -1 gitea`. - -To gracefully stop the Gitea instance, a simple `kill $GITEA_PID` or `killall gitea` is enough. - -**NOTE:** We don't recommend to use the SIGKILL signal (`-9`); you may be forcefully stopping some of Gitea's internal tasks, and it will not gracefully stop (tasks in queues, indexers, etc.) - -See below for troubleshooting instructions to repair broken repositories after -an update of your Gitea version. - -## Troubleshooting - -### Old glibc versions - -Older Linux distributions (such as Debian 7 and CentOS 6) may not be able to load the -Gitea binary, usually producing an error such as `./gitea: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: -version 'GLIBC\_2.14' not found (required by ./gitea)`. This is due to the integrated -SQLite support in the binaries provided by dl.gitea.com. In this situation, it is usually -possible to [install from source](installation/from-source.md), without including -SQLite support. - -### Running Gitea on another port - -For errors like `702 runWeb()] [E] Failed to start server: listen tcp 0.0.0.0:3000: -bind: address already in use`, Gitea needs to be started on another free port. This -is possible using `./gitea web -p $PORT`. It's possible another instance of Gitea -is already running. - -### Running Gitea on Raspbian - -As of v1.8, there is a problem with the arm7 version of Gitea, and it doesn't run on Raspberry Pis and similar devices. - -It is recommended to switch to the arm6 version, which has been tested and shown to work on Raspberry Pis and similar devices. - -<!--- -please remove after fixing the arm7 bug ----> -### Git error after updating to a new version of Gitea - -If during the update, the binary file name has been changed to a new version of Gitea, -Git Hooks in existing repositories will not work any more. In that case, a Git -error will be displayed when pushing to the repository. - -``` -remote: ./hooks/pre-receive.d/gitea: line 2: [...]: No such file or directory -``` - -The `[...]` part of the error message will contain the path to your previous Gitea -binary. - -To solve this, go to the admin options and run the task `Resynchronize pre-receive, -update and post-receive hooks of all repositories` to update all hooks to contain -the new binary path. Please note that this overwrites all Git Hooks, including ones -with customizations made. - -If you aren't using the Gitea built-in SSH server, you will also need to re-write -the authorized key file by running the `Update the '.ssh/authorized_keys' file with -Gitea SSH keys.` task in the admin options. |
