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
