Description

A GOGS (git-) server resource repository for running it on RockyLinux 8.x/9.x

Installation

To setup your GOGS server start out with a fresh RockyLinux 8.x/9.x server/vps/LXC - i use a ProxMox (https://www.proxmox.com/en/proxmox-ve) LXC, and will assumes that your server has:

• (atleast) 1Gb of memory available.
  
• SSH acccess to the box -> by default the RockyLinux 8/9 template does not have openssh-server package installed !
  

Out of scope:

• reverse proxy in front of GOGS to make it available on default HTTP(s)port.
  
• Dark theme installation information on how to do that after setup : https://github.com/Kos-M/GogsThemes
  

Install required packages:

dnf install wget tar git mariadb-server

Download and install gogs, creating /opt/gogs (at the time of writing latest version was 0.13)

cd /opt
wget https://dl.gogs.io/0.13.0/gogs_0.13.0_linux_amd64.tar.gz
tar -zxvf gogs_0.13.0_linux_amd64.tar.gz

Create git user and group, and assign the homedir to /opt/gogs

useradd -r -m -U -d /opt/gogs -s /bin/bash git

Reset rights to /opt/gogs

chmod 700 /opt/gogs/

Start Database-server and run secure installation to switch to unix_socket authentication

systemctl start mariadb
mysql_secure_installation

### Output of mysql_secure_installation below ###

NOTE: RUNNING ALL PARTS OF THIS SCRIPT IS RECOMMENDED FOR ALL MariaDB
      SERVERS IN PRODUCTION USE!  PLEASE READ EACH STEP CAREFULLY!

In order to log into MariaDB to secure it, we'll need the current
password for the root user. If you've just installed MariaDB, and
haven't set the root password yet, you should just press enter here.

Enter current password for root (enter for none):
OK, successfully used password, moving on...

Setting the root password or using the unix_socket ensures that nobody
can log into the MariaDB root user without the proper authorisation.

You already have your root account protected, so you can safely answer 'n'.

Switch to unix_socket authentication [Y/n] y
Enabled successfully!
Reloading privilege tables..
 ... Success!


You already have your root account protected, so you can safely answer 'n'.

Change the root password? [Y/n] y
New password: YourSuperSecretPasswordHere
Re-enter new password: YourSuperSecretPasswordHere
Password updated successfully!
Reloading privilege tables..
 ... Success!


By default, a MariaDB installation has an anonymous user, allowing anyone
to log into MariaDB without having to have a user account created for
them.  This is intended only for testing, and to make the installation
go a bit smoother.  You should remove them before moving into a
production environment.

Remove anonymous users? [Y/n] y
 ... Success!

Normally, root should only be allowed to connect from 'localhost'.  This
ensures that someone cannot guess at the root password from the network.

Disallow root login remotely? [Y/n] y
 ... Success!

By default, MariaDB comes with a database named 'test' that anyone can
access.  This is also intended only for testing, and should be removed
before moving into a production environment.

Remove test database and access to it? [Y/n] y
 - Dropping test database...
 ... Success!
 - Removing privileges on test database...
 ... Success!

Reloading the privilege tables will ensure that all changes made so far
will take effect immediately.

Reload privilege tables now? [Y/n] y
 ... Success!

Cleaning up...

All done!  If you've completed all of the above steps, your MariaDB
installation should now be secure.

Thanks for using MariaDB!

Create database for GOGS

mysql -u root < /opt/gogs/scripts/mysql.sql

Create database user and grant rights to the database for GOGS

mysql -u root

MariaDB [(none)]> CREATE USER 'gogs'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'SuperSecretPassword';
MariaDB [(none)]> GRANT ALL ON gogs.* TO 'gogs'@'localhost';
MariaDB [(none)]> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
MariaDB [(none)]> \q

Install and activate Systemd Unitfile

wget -P /etc/systemd/system/ https://git.comsolve.nl/Comsolve/ProxMox-GuestSetups/raw/master/gogs/gogs.service
systemctl daemon-reload

Enable services to start at system-start

systemctl enable mariadb gogs

Start GOGS service
