Originally created by @S-Koell on GitHub (Feb 11, 2021).

  • Gitea version (or commit ref): gitea-1.9.5-1.2.x86_64.rpm from Link in Docu

  • Git version: 2.26.2

  • Operating system:
    Distributor ID: SUSE
    Description: SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 SP1
    Release: 15.1

  • Database (use [x]):

    • PostgreSQL
    • MySQL
    • MSSQL
    • SQLite

Description

Disclaimer: I'm a complete rookie when it comes to work with Linux, especially with only having access via putty. So please bare with me.

What have I done so far:

  • Went to Docu "Installation from Package"
  • Downloaded the rpm from the linked page for SUSE Link
  • run rpm -Uvh gitea-1.9.5-1.2.x86_64.rpm
  • created /etc/systemd/system/gitea.service with contents I found at Link
  • ran systemctl start gitea
  • and systemctl enable gitea
  • systemctl status gitea gives me:
gitea.service - Gitea
   Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/gitea.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled)
   Active: activating (auto-restart) (Result: exit-code) since Thu 2021-02-11 10:19:50 CET; 577ms ago
  Process: 1944 ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/gitea web -c /etc/gitea/app.ini (code=exited, status=203/EXEC)
 Main PID: 1944 (code=exited, status=203/EXEC)

Feb 11 10:19:50 grwbghvgit01 systemd[1]: gitea.service: Unit entered failed state.
Feb 11 10:19:50 grwbghvgit01 systemd[1]: gitea.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.

As you can see ... I probably forgot everything. I also needed external instructions to somehow continue.
But that is my point: I think the official documentation is lacking guidance.

My issues with the installation documentation:

  • In what sequence should I do things? There is no "1. ... 2 ... 3..."
    image
  • I guess I should start with "Database Preparation" despite it is the 3rd entry and not linked or referenced in other places..
  • the database preparation has no guidance on SQLite even though it's supported. So I just did nothing ...
  • So I continued with "installation from package" and scrolled to SUSE. The only information there is the Link to the download...
    No information on what to do next ... just: Here is a link. So I just ran the rpm
  • Now I assume that I should go to the "Linux Service" part... Which left me with the above output

I hope you can see my frustration.
None the less... I would be happy if someone could give me guidance on how to do it the right way :)

@techknowlogick commented on GitHub (Feb 11, 2021):

SUSE is packaging a version of Gitea that is significantly out of date. I recommend using the https://docs.gitea.io/en-us/install-from-binary/ install from binary instructions instead.
