Gitea in Gitea

This is how I run gitea.

I do it this way because I prioritize;

• simplicity
• minimal maintence
• portability

Usage

Startup

1. Install docker
2. Run with docker-compose up -d --build
3. Optionally put a webserver in front for ssl, I use caddy

Maintence

Upgrade gitea by changing the version in the docker-compose.yml and running docker-compose pull && docker-compose up -d

Data safety

You can do whatever preferred method to back up the contents of docker volumes to back up the gitea-data folder.

However gitea has their own backup & restore method you should consiter. I have created a backup script to create backups and drop them in the ./backups folder. I use this to run from cron.
