Gogs is a self-hosted Git service that provides a lightweight, easy-to-use interface for managing and hosting Git repositories. It is written in Go and offers features similar to popular Git hosting platforms like GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket.
Here's a step-by-step guide to installing Gogs on CentOS 7:
First, ensure that your CentOS 7 system is up to date by running the following commands:
sudo yum clean all sudo yum update
Next, install the dependencies required by Gogs using the following command:
sudo yum install -y git go sqlite
Create a dedicated system user for running the Gogs service:
sudo adduser gogs sudo su - gogs
Download the Gogs source code from the official Gogs repository:
go get -u -tags "sqlite" github.com/gogs/gogs
Compile Gogs with SQLite support:
cd ~/go/src/github.com/gogs/gogs TAGS="sqlite" make build
Create a configuration file for Gogs:
cp ~/go/src/github.com/gogs/gogs/conf/app.ini.example ~/go/src/github.com/gogs/gogs/conf/app.ini
Edit the configuration file to customize your Gogs installation:
nano ~/go/src/github.com/gogs/gogs/conf/app.ini
Modify settings like hostname, port, database path, etc. as desired.
Create a directory for the Gogs SQLite database:
mkdir -p ~/gogs/data/sqlite
Start the Gogs service:
./gogs web
Gogs is now running and can be accessed by visiting http://your-server-ip:3000 in your web browser.
To automatically start Gogs on system boot, you can configure it as a service:
sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/gogs.service
Paste the following configuration into the file:
[Unit] Description=Gogs After=syslog.target After=network.target After=mariadb.service mysqld.service postgresql.service memcached.service redis.service [Service] Type=simple User=gogs Group=gogs ExecStart=/path/to/gogs/gogs web Restart=always Environment=USER=gogs HOME=/path/to/gogs [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target
Save and exit the file, then run the following commands to enable and start the Gogs service:
sudo systemctl enable gogs sudo systemctl start gogs
Now Gogs will automatically start on system boot.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured Gogs on CentOS 7. You can now start using Gogs to manage your Git repositories.
