This repository provides the necessary files to set up a Gitea instance using Docker Compose and manage it with PostgreSQL as the database on a Debian or Ubuntu server.

• docker-compose.yml: Defines the Docker Compose setup for Gitea and PostgreSQL.
• README.md: Documentation for building and launching the service.
• gitea.service: Systemd unit file to manage the Docker Compose environment as a service.

git clone git@github.com:SolidRusT/srt-gitea-service.git
cd srt-gitea-service

docker compose up -d

docker compose ps

docker compose down

To manage the Docker Compose environment as a systemd service, copy the provided gitea.service file and enable it:

sudo cp systemd.service /etc/systemd/system/gitea.service
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl start gitea.service # (only after verifying the filesystem is properly mounted)

• The docker-compose.yml file can be modified to adjust settings such as ports, volumes, and environment variables.
• You can customize Gitea settings by modifying the environment variables defined in the server service section.

• The Gitea instance will be accessible at http://<server-ip>:3000.
• SSH access is available at port 222 for repository cloning and management.
• Data for Gitea is stored in the Docker volume gitea and PostgreSQL data is stored in ./postgres on the host system.

• If the service fails to start, check the logs for any errors:

docker-compose logs

• Ensure that the Docker Compose environment is properly mounted and configured.
• Verify that the PostgreSQL database is running and accessible.

sudo journalctl -xeu gitea.service
