# Gitea
## Prerequisites
### Set up database
- Create database called `gitea` in Postgres

### 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` set up

1. Check if user `gitea`

```
cat /etc/passwd | grep gitea
```

In case user doesn't exist, please create the user by running
```
sudo useradd gitea
```

2. `data` & `config` folder ownership
Also you need to make sure that the `gitea` owner owns the volumes mounted for docker
```
sudo chown -R gitea:gitea data
sudo chmod 770 data

sudo chown -R gitea:gitea config
sudo chmod 770 config
```

3. Adjust compose.yml
Within `services > gitea > user`, make sure to replace `gitea` with the UID of the user on your machine
```
cat /etc/passwd | grep gitea
```

## Initial setup
1. `docker compose up -d`
2. Open IP:8030 and continue set up
