At least 3GB of free disk space and 1GB or RAM is required to run Gitea packaged by Onteon Tech.
Supported Operating Systems¶
Gitea packaged by Onteon Tech requires Ubuntu Linux.
When requiring support, please make sure you run that Linux distribution. If you need Gitea packaged by Onteon Tech for a different Linux distribution, contact us.
Installation¶
Before running installation switch to root (superuser) with the below sudo command:
To install run the install.sh script.
The script is interactive and will ask following questions:
- USER_NAME --- under what user to run the Gitea service, "git" is recommended,
- HTTP_PORT --- what network port to start Gitea on,
- STORAGE --- where to store Gitea's data.
After the install.sh script is finished open your browser pointing to the
host you have installed Gitea packaged by Onteon Tech on to finish
the installation.
Setup in the browser¶
After installing with the installer you will have to configure Gitea to your liking by opening a web browser on localhost with the port you gave for the HTTP_PORT configuration. For example: http://localhost:3000
Database selection¶
This application does not provide out-of-the-box any database other than the embedded SQLite database. If you had not yet set up any other DB, then select SQLite for the "Database type" field.
Removal¶
Firstly run the remove.sh script, then delete the installation directory that
was used in the installer.
To prevent data loss remove.sh does not do that by default.
