<h1 id="setup-gitea-on-debian">Setup Gitea on Debian</h1>
<p>I just recently setup a new Gitea server for myself, and I would like
to share with yall on how to do the same</p>
<p>This was done on a fresh Debian 12 cheapo VPS on Linode, so this
guide will pretty much apply to any Debian (and likely Ubuntu) system
that is more-or-less a stock installation</p>
<p>I did this using
<a href="https://gitlab.com/packaging/gitea/" target="_blank">a
third-party repository for Gitea</a> that was
<a href="https://www.gitea.com/gitea/awesome-gitea/src/branch/main/README.md#user-content-packages/" target="blank">linked
from the official site</a>, as I dont care for Docker personally, and
with a PostgreSQL database as opposed to something like SQLite, as
thats the database I prefer to use when I have to use one (Im not a
big database person either)</p>
<p>Caddy will be used for the webserver as well, as it handles automatic
TLS certificate acquisition, and is easy to setup</p>
<p>For claritys sake, any command that starts with a <code>#</code> has
to be run either as root or with <code>sudo</code>, and any command that
starts with <code>$</code> can be run as a normal user (neither
<code>#</code> nor <code>$</code> are part of the actual command
itself)</p>
<p>Well also assume <code>nano</code> will be used for editing files,
but you can use whatever text editor you prefer</p>
<p>Were also going to assume you already have a domain name pointed at
the server you are doing this on (well use <code>git.example.net</code>
as a placeholder)</p>

<h2 id="adding-a-repo-for-installing-gitea">Adding a Repo for Installing
Gitea</h2>
<p>First thing were gonna need to do, since were not using something
like Docker, or just using the standalone binary, is add the third-party
repo for Gitea</p>
<p>First up, well download the GPG key for the repo</p>
<pre><code># curl -sL -o /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/morph027-gitea.asc https://packaging.gitlab.io/gitea/gpg.key</code></pre>
<p>Then, well add the repo by creating/editing the <code>.source</code>
file that will contain the repos information in <code>deb822</code>
format</p>
<pre><code># nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/morph027-gitea.sources</code></pre>
<pre><code>Types: deb
URIs: https://packaging.gitlab.io/gitea
Suites: gitea
Components: main
Signed-By: /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/morph027-gitea.asc
Enabled: yes</code></pre>
<p>Now well update apt so it can refresh its list of known
packages</p>
<pre><code># apt update</code></pre>
<h2 id="install-gitea-postgresql-and-caddy">Install Gitea, PostgreSQL,
and Caddy</h2>
<p>Now for the easiest part, well install Gitea, our PostgreSQL
database, and our Caddy webserver</p>
<pre><code># apt install gitea postgresql caddy</code></pre>
<h2 id="configure-postgresql">Configure PostgreSQL</h2>
<p>Now for configuring PostgreSQL</p>
<p>First were gonna edit PostgreSQLs config file</p>
<pre><code># nano /etc/postgresql/15/main/postgresql.conf</code></pre>
<p>and go to line 96, and uncomment</p>
<pre><code>#password_encryption = scram-sha-256 # scram-sha-256 or md5</code></pre>
<p>Next, were gonna edit</p>
<pre><code># nano /etc/postgresql/15/main/pg_hba.conf</code></pre>
<p>and add at the bottom of the file</p>
<pre><code>local gitea gitea scram-sha-256</code></pre>
<p>Now, well restart PostgreSQL</p>
<pre><code># sytemctl restart postgresql</code></pre>
<p>Now, to actually setup and configure the database</p>
<p>First, well need to run <code>psql</code> as the
<code>postgres</code> user</p>
<pre><code>$ sudo -u postgres psql</code></pre>
<p>Now, we need to create the “role” (user) that PostgreSQL will use for
interfacing with the database, replacing <code>password</code> with the
password you want to assign it</p>
<pre><code>CREATE ROLE gitea WITH LOGIN PASSWORD &#39;password&#39;</code></pre>
<p>Next, the database</p>
<pre><code>CREATE DATABASE gitea WITH OWNER gitea TEMPLATE template0 ENCODING UTF8 LC_COLLATE &#39;en_US.UTF-8&#39; LC_CTYPE &#39;en_US.UTF-8&#39;;</code></pre>
<p>Now exit <code>psql</code></p>
<pre><code>exit</code></pre>
<h2 id="configure-caddy">Configure Caddy</h2>
<p>Were gonna edit the main Caddyfile and configure it to simply
reverse proxy traffic to our new Gitea server</p>
<pre><code># nano /etc/caddy/Caddyfile</code></pre>
<p>Comment out/delete the contents of the file and put in</p>
<pre><code>git.example.net {
reverse_proxy localhost:3000
}</code></pre>
<p>And now well restart Caddy</p>
<pre><code># systemctl restart caddy</code></pre>
