# setup-git-server.sh
#
# Sets up a self-hosted Git server (Gitea: https://about.gitea.com) on a
# fresh Linux box, with a GitHub-style workflow:
# - real user accounts, managed from the command line
# - SSH clone/push exactly like GitHub: git@<host>:<user>/<repo>.git
# - repos are created automatically on first push (push-to-create) --
# no manual "create repo" step needed
# - a small web UI for browsing repos, issues, PRs, etc.
#
# Supported distros: Arch, Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora (and close derivatives).
# Must be run as root on a machine where systemd is actually running (a VM
# or bare metal -- not a plain Docker container). Written for a first-time
# install; re-running it keeps the existing secrets, the service user and
# existing accounts.
#
# Usage:
# sudo ./setup-git-server.sh [options]
#
# Run with --help for the full list of options.

Usage: sudo ./setup-git-server.sh [options]
Sets up a self-hosted Gitea git server (Arch, Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora)
with GitHub-style SSH access (git@host:user/repo.git) and automatic
repo creation on first push.
Options:
--domain <host> Hostname/IP used in clone URLs (default: auto-detected)
--http-port <port> Web UI port (default: 3000)
--ssh-port <port> SSH port (default: read from sshd config, else 22)
--version <tag> Gitea version, e.g. 1.27.3 (default: latest release)
--admin-user <name> Initial admin username (default: admin)
--admin-email <email> Initial admin email (default: admin@example.com)
--admin-password <pass> Initial admin password, 8+ chars (default: randomly generated)
--allow-registration Let anyone sign up from the web UI (default: off)
-h, --help Show this help and exit
Every option can also be set as an environment variable of the same
name in caps, e.g.:
GITEA_DOMAIN=git.example.com sudo -E ./setup-git-server.sh

Clone and push over SSH, exactly like GitHub:
git@${GITEA_DOMAIN}:<username>/<repo>.git
A repo doesn't need to be created first -- the first push creates it
(as a private repo by default):
mkdir myproject && cd myproject && git init
git commit --allow-empty -m "init"
git remote add origin git@${GITEA_DOMAIN}:${GITEA_ADMIN_USER}/myproject.git
git push -u origin main
Each user needs an SSH key on file before they can push: Web UI ->
Settings -> SSH / GPG Keys -> Add Key.
Add more accounts any time with:
sudo gitea-adduser --username <name> --email <email> --password '<temp-pass>'
Useful commands:
systemctl status gitea
systemctl restart gitea
journalctl -u gitea -f
Config: ${GITEA_CONFIG}
Repo storage: ${GITEA_HOME}/gitea-repositories
Public sign-up from the web UI: ${registration} (see [service] DISABLE_REGISTRATION in the config)
This is plain HTTP -- fine on a LAN or over a VPN. For anything reachable
from the open internet: put it behind a reverse proxy (nginx/Caddy) with
a real TLS certificate, and double check any cloud provider firewall /
security group rules in addition to the local firewall this script
already configured.
