# Installation from binary
|
|
|
|
All downloads come with SQLite, MySQL and PostgreSQL support, and are built with
|
|
embedded assets. This can be different for older releases. Choose the file matching
|
|
the destination platform from the [downloads page](https://dl.gitea.io/gitea/), copy
|
|
the URL and replace the URL within the commands below:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
wget -O gitea https://dl.gitea.io/gitea/1.7.0/gitea-1.7.0-linux-amd64
|
|
chmod +x gitea
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Verify GPG signature
|
|
Gitea signs all binaries with a [GPG key](https://pgp.mit.edu/pks/lookup?op=vindex&fingerprint=on&search=0x2D9AE806EC1592E2) to prevent against unwanted modification of binaries. To validate the binary download the signature file which ends in `.asc` for the binary you downloaded and use the gpg command line tool.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv 7C9E68152594688862D62AF62D9AE806EC1592E2
|
|
gpg --verify gitea-1.7.0-linux-amd64.asc gitea-1.7.0-linux-amd64
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Test
|
|
|
|
After getting a binary, it can be tested with `./gitea web` or moved to a permanent
|
|
location. When launched manually, Gitea can be killed using `Ctrl+C`.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
./gitea web
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Recommended server configuration
|
|
|
|
### Prepare environment
|
|
|
|
Check that git is installed on the server, if it is not install it first.
|
|
```sh
|
|
git --version
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Create user to run gitea (ex. `git`)
|
|
```sh
|
|
adduser \
|
|
--system \
|
|
--shell /bin/bash \
|
|
--gecos 'Git Version Control' \
|
|
--group \
|
|
--disabled-password \
|
|
--home /home/git \
|
|
git
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Create required directory structure
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
mkdir -p /var/lib/gitea/{custom,data,indexers,public,log}
|
|
chown git:git /var/lib/gitea/{data,indexers,log}
|
|
chmod 750 /var/lib/gitea/{data,indexers,log}
|
|
mkdir /etc/gitea
|
|
chown root:git /etc/gitea
|
|
chmod 770 /etc/gitea
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**NOTE:** `/etc/gitea` is temporary set with write rights for user `git` so that Web installer could write configuration file. After installation is done it is recommended to set rights to read-only using:
|
|
```
|
|
chmod 750 /etc/gitea
|
|
chmod 644 /etc/gitea/app.ini
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Copy gitea binary to global location
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
cp gitea /usr/local/bin/gitea
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Create service file to start gitea automatically
|
|
|
|
See how to create [Linux service]({{< relref "run-as-service-in-ubuntu.en-us.md" >}})
|
|
|
|
## Updating to a new version
|
|
|
|
You can update to a new version of gitea by stopping gitea, replacing the binary at `/usr/local/bin/gitea` and restarting the instance.
|
|
The binary file name should not be changed during the update to avoid problems
|
|
in existing repositories.
|
|
|
|
It is recommended you do a [backup]({{< relref "doc/usage/backup-and-restore.en-us.md" >}}) before updating your installation.
|
|
|
|
If you have carried out the installation steps as described above, the binary should
|
|
have the generic name `gitea`. Do not change this, i.e. to include the version number.
|
|
|
|
See below for troubleshooting instructions to repair broken repositories after
|
|
an update of your gitea version.
|
|
|
|
## Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
### Old glibc versions
|
|
|
|
Older Linux distributions (such as Debian 7 and CentOS 6) may not be able to load the
|
|
Gitea binary, usually producing an error such as ```./gitea: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6:
|
|
version `GLIBC\_2.14' not found (required by ./gitea)```. This is due to the integrated
|
|
SQLite support in the binaries provided by dl.gitea.io. In this situation, it is usually
|
|
possible to [install from source]({{< relref "from-source.en-us.md" >}}) without sqlite
|
|
support.
|
|
|
|
### Running gitea on another port
|
|
|
|
For errors like `702 runWeb()] [E] Failed to start server: listen tcp 0.0.0.0:3000:
|
|
bind: address already in use` gitea needs to be started on another free port. This
|
|
is possible using `./gitea web -p $PORT`. It's possible another instance of gitea
|
|
is already running.
|
|
|
|
### Git error after updating to a new version of gitea
|
|
|
|
If the binary file name has been changed during the update to a new version of gitea,
|
|
git hooks in existing repositories will not work any more. In that case, a git
|
|
error will be displayed when pushing to the repository.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
remote: ./hooks/pre-receive.d/gitea: line 2: [...]: No such file or directory
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The `[...]` part of the error message will contain the path to your previous gitea
|
|
binary.
|
|
|
|
To solve this, go to the admin options and run the task `Resynchronize pre-receive,
|
|
update and post-receive hooks of all repositories` to update all hooks to contain
|
|
the new binary path. Please note that this overwrite all git hooks including ones
|
|
with customizations made.
|
|
|
|
If you aren't using the built-in to Gitea ssh server you will also need to re-write
|
|
the authorized key file by running the `Update the '.ssh/authorized_keys' file with
|
|
Gitea SSH keys.` task in the admin options.
