ansible role gitea/forgejo

This role installs and manages gitea or forgejo. A painless self-hosted Git service. Gitea is a community managed lightweight code hosting solution written in Go. Forgejo is a fork of it. Source code & screenshots gitea. Source code forgejo. This role is also Part of the Ansible-Collection l3d.git. .

Mirrors

The role is mirrored to:

Github: github.com/roles-ansible/ansible_role_gitea
Gitea: git.l3d.ch/ansible/ansible_role_gitea More about it at ansible.l3d.space

Sample Usage in a playbook

The following code has been tested with the latest Debian Stable, it should work on Ubuntu and RedHat as well.

# ansible-galaxy role install l3d.gitea

- name: "Install gitea"
  hosts: git.example.com
  roles:
    - {role: l3d.gitea, tags: gitea}
  vars:
    # Here we assume we are behind a reverse proxy that will
    # handle https for us, so we bind on localhost:3000 using HTTP
    # see https://docs.gitea.io/en-us/reverse-proxies/#nginx
    gitea_fqdn: 'git.example.com'
    gitea_root_url: 'https://git.example.com'
    gitea_protocol: http
    gitea_start_ssh: true

Choosing between Gitea's built-in SSH and host SSH Server

Gitea has a built-in SSH server which is running on port 2222 (to not conflict with the host SSH server which usually running on port 22). This one is used by default in this role and results in a SSH clone URL of gitea@<fqdn>:2222:<user>/<repo>.git because gitea is the default RUN_AS user.

Often enough, one wants to have a "clean" SSH URL like git@<fqdn>:<user>/<repo>.git. This is possible by using the host SSH server with the following variable configuration:

gitea_ssh_port: 22 # assuming the host SSH server is running on port 22
gitea_user: git # otherwise there will be permission issues
gitea_start_ssh: false # to not start the built-in SSH server

The above configuration works out of the box for new installations. When migrating from a running instance with existing SSH keys from the built-in SSH server to the host SSH server, you need to make sure that the host SSH server is running and that the gitea_user has the necessary permissions to access the repository data and the keys (stored in <gitea_home>/.ssh/)

NB: To use git@ as described above, gitea_user must be git and it does not suffice to set gitea_ssh_user: git. See this issue for more information..

Variables

Here is a deeper insight into the variables of this gitea role. For the exact function of some variables and the possibility to add more options we recommend a look at this config cheat sheet.

Chose between gitea and forgejo

There is a fork of gitea called forgejo. Why? Read the forgejo FAQ. You have the option to choose between gitea and forgejo by modifying the gitea_fork variable.

variable name	default value	description
`gitea_fork`	`gitea`	optional choose to install forgejo instead of gitea by setting this value to `forgejo`.

gitea update mechanism

To determine which gitea version to install, you can choose between two variants. Either you define exactly which release you install. Or you use the option latest to always install the latest release from the gitea releases.

Forgejo update mechanism

It is advisable to define exactly which Forgejo release you want to install. See Forgejo releases for the correct value to use in gitea_version eg v1.21.5.

This is because the Forgejo project maintains both stable and old stable releases and the latest tag will refer to the most recent release regardless of whether it is stable or old stable. This can lead to a situation where latest refers to an older release than the version you have installed.

optional customisation

You can optionally customize your gitea using this ansible role. We got our information about customisation from docs.gitea.io/en-us/customizing-gitea. To deploy multiple files we created the gitea_custom_search variable, that can point to the path where you put the custom gitea files ( default "files/host_files/{{ inventory_hostname }}/gitea").

LOGO:
- Set gitea_customize_logo to true
- We search for:
  - logo.svg - Used for favicon, site icon, app icon
  - logo.png - Used for Open Graph
  - favicon.png - Used as fallback for browsers that don’t support SVG favicons

History of this role

this ansible role was originally developed on github.com/thomas-maurice/ansible-role-gitea. Since the role there has some problems like default values for the location of the gitea repositories and the merging of pull requests usually takes several months, a fork of the role was created that offers the same. Only tidier and with the claim to react faster to issues and pull requests. It is now Part of the l3d.git Collection too.
