Installation from binary

All downloads come with SQLite, MySQL and PostgreSQL support, and are built with embedded assets. This can be different for older releases. Choose the file matching the destination platform from the downloads page, copy the URL and replace the URL within the commands below:

wget -O gitea https://dl.gitea.io/gitea/1.4.2/gitea-1.4.2-linux-amd64
chmod +x gitea

Test

After getting a binary, it can be tested with ./gitea web or moved to a permanent location. When launched manually, Gitea can be killed using Ctrl+C.

./gitea web

Recommended server configuration

Prepare environment

Check that git is installed on the server, if it is not install it first.

git --version

Create user to run gitea (ex. git)

adduser \
   --system \
   --shell /bin/bash \
   --gecos 'Git Version Control' \
   --group \
   --disabled-password \
   --home /home/git \
   git

Create required directory structure

mkdir -p /var/lib/gitea/{custom,data,indexers,public,log}
chown git:git /var/lib/gitea/{data,indexers,log}
chmod 750 /var/lib/gitea/{data,indexers,log}
mkdir /etc/gitea
chown root:git /etc/gitea
chmod 770 /etc/gitea

NOTE: /etc/gitea is temporary set with write rights for user git so that Web installer could write configuration file. After installation is done it is recommended to set rights to read-only using:

chmod 750 /etc/gitea
chmod 644 /etc/gitea/app.ini

Copy gitea binary to global location

cp gitea /usr/local/bin/gitea

Create service file to start gitea automatically

See how to create [Linux service]({{< relref "run-as-service-in-ubuntu.en-us.md" >}})

Troubleshooting

Old glibc versions

Older Linux distributions (such as Debian 7 and CentOS 6) may not be able to load the Gitea binary, usually producing an error such as ./gitea: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC\_2.14' not found (required by ./gitea). This is due to the integrated SQLite support in the binaries provided by dl.gitea.io. In this situation, it is usually possible to [install from source]({{< relref "from-source.en-us.md" >}}) without sqlite support.

Running gitea on another port

For errors like 702 runWeb()] [E] Failed to start server: listen tcp 0.0.0.0:3000: bind: address already in use gitea needs to be started on another free port. This is possible using ./gitea web -p $PORT. It's possible another instance of gitea is already running.
