This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Gogs on EndeavourOS latest.
Before you proceed with the installation, ensure that your system meets the following requirements:
The first step is to install the dependencies required by Gogs. Open the terminal and run the following command as a sudo user:
sudo pacman -S git go sqlite
Next, download the latest version of Gogs from the official website using the following command:
wget https://dl.gogs.io/gogs_latest_linux_amd64.tar.gz
Once the download is complete, extract the archive using the following command:
tar -xvf gogs_latest_linux_amd64.tar.gz
Move the extracted files to the desired directory by running the following command:
sudo mv gogs /opt/
Create a new system user to run Gogs:
sudo useradd -r -s /bin/false -d /opt/gogs gogs
Set the ownership of the Gogs directory to the newly created user:
sudo chown -R gogs:gogs /opt/gogs
Navigate to the Gogs directory and edit the custom/conf/app.ini file to configure the application:
cd /opt/gogs
sudo nano custom/conf/app.ini
Make the necessary changes to the file, such as setting the HTTP_PORT and ROOT_URL variables.
Save and exit the file by pressing Ctrl+X, then Y, and then Enter.
Finally, start the Gogs service by running the following command:
sudo systemctl start gogs
Open a web browser and navigate to the URL or IP address of your Gogs installation, followed by the port number you set in the HTTP_PORT variable.
For example, if you set the HTTP_PORT variable to 3000 and the IP address of your server is 192.168.1.100, then you should access Gogs by navigating to http://192.168.1.100:3000.
In this tutorial, you have learned how to install and configure Gogs on EndeavourOS latest. You should now be able to access the Gogs web interface by following the steps outlined in this tutorial.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
