This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Gogs on EndeavourOS latest.

Prerequisites

Before you proceed with the installation, ensure that your system meets the following requirements:

  • A running instance of EndeavourOS latest.
  • A valid domain name or IP address that will be used to access Gogs.
  • A user with sudo privileges.

Step 1 - Install Dependencies

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

Step 2 - Download and Install Gogs

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/

Step 3 - Configure and Run Gogs

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

Step 4 - Access Gogs Web Interface

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.
