# Gitea ## Set up database - Create database user called `gitea` incl. password - Create database called `gitea` in Postgres - Define new user as owner of the database - Store database credentials in 1Password ## Set up non-root user for container We are providing a non-root user to the container to limit the attack surface for privilege escalations. In order for this to work in our setup, please make sure to check if you have a user called `gitea-user` & group called `gitea-group` set up. 1. Check if user `gitea-user` & group `gitea-group` exist and if the UID/GID is 1003 ``` cat /etc/passwd | grep gitea-user cat /etc/group | grep gitea-group ``` In case user/group exists but the UID/GID is not 1003, please adjust it via ``` sudo usermod -u 1003 gitea-user sudo groupmod -g 1003 gitea-group ``` In case user/group doesn't exist at all, please create the user & group incl. the right UID/GID by running ``` sudo groupadd -g 1003 gitea-group sudo useradd -g gitea-group -u 1003 gitea-user ```
