I noticed that the following command is not run before the script runs webpack

rm -rf public/assets/js public/assets/css public/assets/fonts public/assets/img/webpack

Do I need to do this before building from source?

I also wanted to add my script to help with the troubleshooting process.

#!/bin/bash

# This script assumes you already have a working gitea instance

# Git Directory for Gitea
GIT_DIR="/home/ubuntu/gitea"

# Script warning
RED='\033[0;31m'
YEL='\033[0;33m'
NC='\033[0m' # No Color
printf "\n${RED}Please Note:${NC} ${YEL}You must set the GIT_DIR variable before running this script${NC}\n\n"
sleep 3

# Update git and npx
git -C $GIT_DIR pull
npm exec --prefix $GIT_DIR browserslist@latest --update-db

# User enters Gitea version
git -C $GIT_DIR tag -l
printf "\n${RED}Please Enter a Gitea Version${NC}\n\n"
read VERSION

# Checkout version and build for production
# This will stop and start the gitea service
service gitea stop
git -C $GIT_DIR checkout $VERSION
cd $GIT_DIR
TAGS="bindata sqlite" make build
service gitea start
printf "\n${YEL}You are now running on version:${NC}\n"
./gitea -version

@silverwind commented on GitHub (Jun 4, 2024):

make build with environment variables of your choice is all that's needed. Make will do everything needed. In your case, I think node_modules got corrupted somehow, so I recommend doing rm -rf node_modules once and then try your script again.

Also, I would remove that npm exec, browserslist does not need constant updates and the one in 1.22 is pretty recent.

You should not run from source code in a production env. Just build a binary and run that binary.

Maybe you need to check the permission of the user running this script.

stop and start service are all failed.

Thanks @silverwind, that seemed to be the fix. I must have had a old bunch of node_packages over various gitea builds.
