Git

Redbrick uses Gitea a community driven fork of Gogs for Git hosting.

• Gitea docs
• Gogs docs - though you shouldn't need these
• Redbrick Deployment

Deployment

• Gitea and its database are deployed to Hardcase which runs NixOS
• The actual repositories are stored in /zroot/git, and most other data is stored in /var/lib/gitea
• The SECRET_KEY and INTERNAL_TOKEN_URI are stored in /var/secrets. They are not automatically created and must be copied when setting up new hosts. Permissions on the gitea_token.secret must be 740 and owned by git:gitea
• Make sure that the gitea_token.secret does NOT have a newline character in it

Redbrick Special Notes

• The giteadmin credentials are in the passwordsafe

Operation

Gitea is very well documented in itself. Here's a couple of special commands when deploying/migrating Gitea to a different host

# Regenerate hooks which fixes push errors
/path/to/gitea admin regenerate hooks

# If you didn't copy the authorized_keys folder then regen that too
/path/to/gitea admin regenerate keys
