Setup up work Git server with Gogs

Install a Debian 7 virtualbox guest to host the company GIT repositories.

Use Debian stable wheezy

Debian 7.7 net install iso

The current “stable” distribution of Debian is version 7, codenamed wheezy. It was initially released as version 7.0 on May 4th, 2013 and its latest update, version 7.7, was released on October 18th, 2014.

Base install

Hostname: gogs.gcsww.local


            Software Selection
            ---------------------
            remove Debian desktop environment
            leave Print server
            Add SSH server
            remove laptop
            

            apt-get update
            apt-get dist-upgrade
            
            apt-get install vim
            apt-get install tmux
            apt-get install git
            apt-get install sudo
            
            adduser craig sudo
            

Put local ssh public key on gogs server

Step 2: Copy the public key to remote-host using ssh-copy-id


            jsmith@local-host$ ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub remote-host
            jsmith@remote-host's password:
            Now try logging into the machine, with "ssh 'remote-host'", and check in:
            
            .ssh/authorized_keys
            
            to make sure we haven't added extra keys that you weren't expecting.
            
            ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub 192.168.88.183
            ssh 192.168.88.183
            

Note: ssh-copy-id appends the keys to the remote-host’s .ssh/authorized_key.

gogs Install Howto for Debian 7 Wheezy

Some background on Debian boot up services

update-rc.d Cheat Sheet - James Coyle


            service --status-all
             ...
             [ ? ]  gogs
             [ ? ]  gogs-web
             [ - ]  gogs-web-1
             ...
            

insserv is a low level tool used by update-rc.d which enables an installed system init script (boot script) by reading the comment header of the script, e.g.:

The dependency-based boot sequencing introduced with Debian 6.0 is now always enabled, including for users of file-rc.

For optimal sequencing, all init.d scripts should declare their dependencies in an LSB header. This is already the case for scripts shipped in Debian, but users should check their local scripts and consider adding that information.

For more information on this feature refer to the information available in /usr/share/doc/insserv/README.Debian.

Starting with Debian 6.0, the insserv command is used instead, if dependency-based booting is enabled:


            insserv mydaemon
            

Where mydaemon is an executable init script placed in /etc/init.d. insserv will produce no output if everything went OK. Examine the error code in $? if you want to be sure.

Both the old and the new way requires an init script to be present in /etc/init.d. For dependency-based booting, the script needs to be an LSB init script.

Let’s fix it


            /etc/init.d/gogs
            /etc/init.d/gogs-web
            /etc/init.d/gogs-web-1
            

To see all the files the package installed onto your system, do this:


            dpkg-query -L 
            
            
            

            /opt/gogs/conf/app.ini
