This tutorial will guide you through the installation process for Gitea, a web-based self-hosted Git service, on your Manjaro Linux system.
Before starting, you need to ensure that you have the following prerequisites on your system:
If you have not installed Docker on your Manjaro system, you can install it via the following command:
sudo pacman -S docker
After installation, start and enable the Docker service:
sudo systemctl start docker
sudo systemctl enable docker
Once you have completed these steps, Docker should be up and running on your system.
Now it's time to install Gitea using Docker.
First, create a directory for the Gitea configuration:
sudo mkdir /var/lib/gitea
Then, pull the latest Gitea image from Docker Hub:
sudo docker pull gitea/gitea:latest
Lastly, run the Gitea Docker container:
sudo docker run -d --name=gitea -p 3000:3000 -v /var/lib/gitea:/data gitea/gitea:latest
This command runs the Gitea container in the background with the name gitea. The -p option maps the Docker container's port 3000 to the host's port 3000, allowing us to access the Gitea web interface on our web browser. The -v option creates a volume that maps the container's /data directory to the host's /var/lib/gitea directory. This is where Gitea stores its configuration and database.
You can now access the Gitea web interface by visiting http://localhost:3000 in your web browser.
Upon visiting http://localhost:3000, you will be prompted to configure Gitea. Follow the on-screen instructions to set up your Gitea user account, repository, and other settings.
Once you have completed the Gitea setup process, you can start using it to manage your Git repositories.
In this tutorial, you learned how to install Gitea on Manjaro Linux using Docker. Gitea is a powerful and versatile self-hosted Git service that can help you manage and collaborate on your Git repositories with ease.
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!
