Okay, let's switch gears to run Gitea using Docker and Docker Compose. This is generally the recommended approach as it isolates Gitea and its dependencies.
We'll still create a user on the *host* system to own the data volumes, ensuring correct permissions *outside* the container. The Gitea container itself runs internally as a user (usually `git`, UID/GID 1000 by default in the official image), and Docker maps the volume permissions.
**Key Components:**
1. **`docker-compose.yml`:** Defines the Gitea service and potentially a database service (e.g., PostgreSQL).
2. **Host Directory Structure:** Directories on the host machine to store persistent Gitea data (repos, config, database files, logs).
3. **Host User (`git`):** A user on the host system to own these directories, matching the UID/GID used inside the container.
4. **`app.ini`:** The Gitea configuration file, placed in the host directory structure to be mounted into the container.
**Steps:**
**1. Create Host User and Group (if they don't exist)**
We need a user and group on the host machine. We'll use the standard non-privileged UID/GID `1000`, which the official Gitea Docker image typically uses internally for its `git` user.
```bash
# Run these commands with sudo
sudo groupadd --gid 1000 git || echo "Group git (GID 1000) likely already exists."
sudo useradd --system --uid 1010 --gid 1010 --comment "Gitea Docker User" --shell /usr/sbin/nologin --home /opt/gitea git || echo "User git (UID 1010) likely already exists."
# Verify (optional)
id git
```
* If UID/GID 1000 is already taken on your system, choose another (e.g., 1001) and make sure to specify it in the `docker-compose.yml` using `user: UID:GID`. However, sticking to 1000 is often simplest if possible.
* `--shell /usr/sbin/nologin` prevents this user from being used for interactive logins.
* `--home /opt/gitea` sets a nominal home directory, though we won't rely on it directly.
**2. Create Host Directory Structure and Initial `app.ini`**
We'll create a directory (e.g., `/opt/gitea`) on the host to hold all persistent data and configuration.
```bash
#!/bin/bash
# Exit immediately if a command exits with a non-zero status.
set -e
# --- Configuration ---
HOST_GITEA_ROOT="/opt/gitea" # Or choose another location like /srv/gitea
HOST_GITEA_DATA_DIR="${HOST_GITEA_ROOT}/data"
HOST_GITEA_CONFIG_DIR="${HOST_GITEA_ROOT}/config" # Gitea image expects config in /data/gitea/conf
HOST_GITEA_LOG_DIR="${HOST_GITEA_ROOT}/log" # We'll mount this separately for clarity
HOST_USER_UID=1010 # Must match the UID used inside the container (or specified in docker-compose)
HOST_USER_GID=1010 # Must match the GID used inside the container (or specified in docker-compose)
# --- Pre-checks ---
if [[ $EUID -ne 0 ]]; then
echo "This script must be run as root (or using sudo)"
exit 1
fi
if ! getent passwd "${HOST_USER_UID}" > /dev/null 2>&1; then
echo "ERROR: User with UID ${HOST_USER_UID} does not exist. Please create it first."
exit 1
fi
if ! getent group "${HOST_USER_GID}" > /dev/null 2>&1; then
echo "ERROR: Group with GID ${HOST_USER_GID} does not exist. Please create it first."
exit 1

```
**How to use the script:**
1. Save the script (e.g., `setup_docker_gitea_host.sh`).
2. Make it executable: `chmod +x setup_docker_gitea_host.sh`.
3. Run with sudo: `sudo ./setup_docker_gitea_host.sh`.
4. **Crucially, edit the generated `/opt/gitea/config/app.ini` file** with your actual domain, database choice, and generate/set real secret keys *before* starting the container.
**3. Create `docker-compose.yml`**
Create this file in a convenient location (e.g., in `/opt/gitea` or a dedicated project directory). This example uses PostgreSQL, which is recommended for production.
```yaml
# /opt/gitea/docker-compose.yml
# or ~/gitea-docker/docker-compose.yml
networks:
gitea-net:
external: false
services:
gitea:
image: gitea/gitea:latest # Use a specific version tag in production, e.g., :1.21.5
container_name: gitea
restart: always
environment:
# All config is primarily done via app.ini now, but you could pass some simpler ones here
- USER_UID=1010 # Matches the host user created
- USER_GID=1010 # Matches the host group created
- GITEA__database__DB_TYPE=postgres # Example: Overriding app.ini via env var if needed
- GITEA__database__HOST=db:5432 # Using double underscore convention
- GITEA__database__NAME=gitea
- GITEA__database__USER=gitea
- GITEA__database__PASSWD=gitea_password # CHANGE THIS! Use docker secrets ideally

# Mount the config directory separately (optional, but explicit)
- ./config:/etc/gitea # Maps host's ./config to container's /etc/gitea
# Mount log directory
- ./log:/data/log # Maps host's ./log to container's /data/log (matches app.ini)
# Timezone consistency
- /etc/timezone:/etc/timezone:ro
- /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
ports:

```
**Explanation:**
* **`user: "1000:1000"` (Optional but good practice):** You can explicitly add this under the `gitea:` service definition to force the container process to run as UID/GID 1000, ensuring it matches the host directory ownership. The official image usually handles this, but being explicit can prevent permission issues.
* **Volumes (`./data:/data`, etc.):** We use *bind mounts*. This maps the directories we created on the host (`/opt/gitea/data`, `/opt/gitea/config`, etc.) directly into the specified paths inside the container. Docker uses the ownership we set on the host directories (`chown 1000:1000`).
* **`app.ini` Location:** The Gitea image typically looks for `app.ini` within its data directory (`/data/gitea/conf/app.ini`). By mounting `./config:/etc/gitea` and `./data:/data`, the container *should* find the config. If you have issues, you might need to adjust the volume mount for config or ensure the `app.ini` is placed at `/opt/gitea/data/gitea/conf/app.ini` on the host *before* starting. Mounting `/etc/gitea` is often cleaner if the image respects `GITEA_CUSTOM`. For simplicity, the setup script places it in `./config`, matching the volume mount. Adjust if Gitea doesn't pick it up.
* **Database:** The `db` service uses the official Postgres image. Its data is persisted in `./postgres` on the host. The Gitea container connects to it using the service name `db` as the hostname. **Change the default passwords!**
* **Ports:** `3000:3000` maps the web UI port. `2222:22` maps host port 2222 to the container's SSH port 22 (make sure your host's firewall allows port 2222).
* **Networks:** A dedicated network `gitea-net` allows the containers to communicate easily using service names (`gitea`, `db`).
* **Healthcheck:** Ensures Gitea only starts *after* PostgreSQL is ready.
**4. Running Gitea**
1. Navigate to the directory where you saved `docker-compose.yml` (e.g., `/opt/gitea`).
2. Ensure you have edited `/opt/gitea/config/app.ini` appropriately (Domain, DB, **Secrets**). Generate secrets using `docker run --rm gitea/gitea:latest gitea generate secret SECRET_KEY` etc., if needed.
3. Start the services in detached mode:
```bash
cd /opt/gitea
docker compose up -d
```
4. Check the logs:
```bash
docker compose logs -f gitea
docker compose logs -f db
```
5. Access Gitea in your browser at `http://<your-host-ip-or-domain>:3000`.
6. Clone via SSH using `ssh://git@<your-host-ip-or-domain>:2222/user/repo.git`.
This Docker setup provides isolation, easier dependency management (database), and uses host volumes with correct permissions managed by the `git` (UID/GID 1000) user on the host.

# Gitea
## Why the fuck did I choose to run this?
I have no idea and it's giving me problems when I try to set it up but I've tried several times now and I can't give up!
