Gogs is a painless self-hosted Git service that allows you to create and manage your own Git repositories. It is written in Go language and has a lightweight, easy-to-use interface. Whether you want to host your personal projects or set up a private Git server for your organization, Gogs provides a simple and efficient solution.
Before installing any new software, it is always recommended to update the system packages to their latest versions. Open a terminal and run the following commands:
sudo apt update sudo apt upgrade
Gogs has some dependencies that need to be installed before setting it up. Run the following command to install Git, MySQL, and other required packages:
sudo apt install git mysql-server git-lfs openssh-server
It is recommended to create a separate system user for running Gogs. To do this, run the following command:
sudo adduser --system --shell /bin/bash --group --disabled-password --home /home/git git
Now, let's download and install Gogs:
sudo wget https://dl.gogs.io/0.12.3/gogs_0.12.3_linux_amd64.tar.gz sudo tar xfz gogs_0.12.3_linux_amd64.tar.gz sudo mv gogs /home/git/gogs
Now, let's configure Gogs. Change to the Gogs directory:
cd /home/git/gogs
Run the following command to generate an initial configuration file:
sudo ./gogs web
Follow the prompts and provide the necessary information such as the database settings, domain, and port number.
To start Gogs as a service, run the following command:
sudo ./gogs web
After starting Gogs, you can access it using a web browser by navigating to the address http://localhost:3000
or http://your_domain_or_ip_address:3000
. You should see the Gogs login page.
You can now create user accounts, repositories, and start collaborating on your own Git projects using Gogs!
