# Installation from source
|
|
|
|
You should [install go](https://golang.org/doc/install) and set up your go
|
|
environment correctly. In particular, it is recommended to set the `$GOPATH`
|
|
environment variable and to add the go bin directory or directories
|
|
`${GOPATH//://bin:}/bin` to the `$PATH`. See the Go wiki entry for
|
|
[GOPATH](https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/GOPATH).
|
|
|
|
Next, [install Node.js with npm](https://nodejs.org/en/download/) which is
|
|
required to build the JavaScript and CSS files. The minimum supported Node.js
|
|
version is {{< min-node-version >}} and the latest LTS version is recommended.
|
|
|
|
**Note**: When executing make tasks that require external tools, like
|
|
`make misspell-check`, Gitea will automatically download and build these as
|
|
necessary. To be able to use these, you must have the `"$GOPATH/bin"` directory
|
|
on the executable path. If you don't add the go bin directory to the
|
|
executable path, you will have to manage this yourself.
|
|
|
|
**Note 2**: Go version {{< min-go-version >}} or higher is required. However, it is recommended to
|
|
obtain the same version as our continuous integration, see the advice given in
|
|
<a href='{{< relref "doc/developers/hacking-on-gitea.en-us.md" >}}'>Hacking on
|
|
Gitea</a>

## Download
|
|
|
|
First, we must retrieve the source code. Since, the advent of go modules, the
|
|
simplest way of doing this is to use Git directly as we no longer have to have
|
|
Gitea built from within the GOPATH.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
git clone https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
(Previous versions of this document recommended using `go get`. This is
|
|
no longer necessary.)
|
|
|
|
Decide which version of Gitea to build and install. Currently, there are
|
|
multiple options to choose from. The `main` branch represents the current
|
|
development version. To build with main, skip to the [build section](#build).
|
|
|
|
To work with tagged releases, the following commands can be used:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
git branch -a
|
|
git checkout v{{< version >}}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To validate a Pull Request, first enable the new branch (`xyz` is the PR id;
|
|
for example `2663` for [#2663](https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/2663)):
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
git fetch origin pull/xyz/head:pr-xyz
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To build Gitea from source at a specific tagged release (like v{{< version >}}), list the
|
|
available tags and check out the specific tag.
|
|
|
|
List available tags with the following.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
git tag -l
|
|
git checkout v{{< version >}} # or git checkout pr-xyz
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Build
|
|
|
|
To build from source, the following programs must be present on the system:
|
|
|
|
- `go` {{< min-go-version >}} or higher, see [here](https://golang.org/dl/)
|
|
- `node` {{< min-node-version >}} or higher with `npm`, see [here](https://nodejs.org/en/download/)
|
|
- `make`, see [here]({{< relref "doc/developers/hacking-on-gitea.en-us.md" >}}#installing-make)
|
|
|
|
Various [make tasks](https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/blob/main/Makefile)
|
|
are provided to keep the build process as simple as possible.
|
|
|
|
Depending on requirements, the following build tags can be included.
|
|
|
|
- `bindata`: Build a single monolithic binary, with all assets included. Required for production build.
|
|
- `sqlite sqlite_unlock_notify`: Enable support for a
|
|
[SQLite3](https://sqlite.org/) database. Suggested only for tiny
|
|
installations.
|
|
- `pam`: Enable support for PAM (Linux Pluggable Authentication Modules). Can
|
|
be used to authenticate local users or extend authentication to methods
|
|
available to PAM.
|
|
- `gogit`: (EXPERIMENTAL) Use go-git variants of Git commands.
|
|
|
|
Bundling all assets (JS/CSS/templates, etc) into the binary. Using the `bindata` build tag is required for
|
|
production deployments. You could exclude `bindata` when you are developing/testing Gitea or able to separate the assets correctly.
|
|
|
|
To include all assets, use the `bindata` tag:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
TAGS="bindata" make build
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
In the default release build of our continuous integration system, the build
|
|
tags are: `TAGS="bindata sqlite sqlite_unlock_notify"`. The simplest
|
|
recommended way to build from source is therefore:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
TAGS="bindata sqlite sqlite_unlock_notify" make build
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The `build` target is split into two sub-targets:
|
|
|
|
- `make backend` which requires [Go {{< min-go-version >}}](https://golang.org/dl/) or greater.
|
|
- `make frontend` which requires [Node.js {{< min-node-version >}}](https://nodejs.org/en/download/) or greater.
|
|
|
|
If pre-built frontend files are present it is possible to only build the backend:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
TAGS="bindata" make backend
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Test
|
|
|
|
After following the steps above, a `gitea` binary will be available in the working directory.
|
|
It can be tested from this directory or moved to a directory with test data. When Gitea is
|
|
launched manually from command line, it can be killed by pressing `Ctrl + C`.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
./gitea web
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Changing default paths
|
|
|
|
Gitea will search for a number of things from the _`CustomPath`_. By default this is
|
|
the `custom/` directory in the current working directory when running Gitea. It will also
|
|
look for its configuration file _`CustomConf`_ in `$(CustomPath)/conf/app.ini`, and will use the
|
|
current working directory as the relative base path _`AppWorkPath`_ for a number configurable
|
|
values. Finally the static files will be served from _`StaticRootPath`_ which defaults to the _`AppWorkPath`_.
|
|
|
|
These values, although useful when developing, may conflict with downstream users preferences.
|
|
|
|
One option is to use a script file to shadow the `gitea` binary and create an appropriate
|
|
environment before running Gitea. However, when building you can change these defaults
|
|
using the `LDFLAGS` environment variable for `make`. The appropriate settings are as follows
|
|
|
|
- To set the _`CustomPath`_ use `LDFLAGS="-X \"code.gitea.io/gitea/modules/setting.CustomPath=custom-path\""`
|
|
- For _`CustomConf`_ you should use `-X \"code.gitea.io/gitea/modules/setting.CustomConf=conf.ini\"`
|
|
- For _`AppWorkPath`_ you should use `-X \"code.gitea.io/gitea/modules/setting.AppWorkPath=working-path\"`
|
|
- For _`StaticRootPath`_ you should use `-X \"code.gitea.io/gitea/modules/setting.StaticRootPath=static-root-path\"`
|
|
- To change the default PID file location use `-X \"code.gitea.io/gitea/modules/setting.PIDFile=/run/gitea.pid\"`
|
|
|
|
Add as many of the strings with their preceding `-X` to the `LDFLAGS` variable and run `make build`
|
|
with the appropriate `TAGS` as above.
|
|
|
|
Running `gitea help` will allow you to review what the computed settings will be for your `gitea`.
|
|
|
|
## Cross Build
|
|
|
|
The `go` compiler toolchain supports cross-compiling to different architecture targets that are supported by the toolchain. See [`GOOS` and `GOARCH` environment variable](https://golang.org/doc/install/source#environment) for the list of supported targets. Cross compilation is helpful if you want to build Gitea for less-powerful systems (such as Raspberry Pi).
|
|
|
|
To cross build Gitea with build tags (`TAGS`), you also need a C cross compiler which targets the same architecture as selected by the `GOOS` and `GOARCH` variables. For example, to cross build for Linux ARM64 (`GOOS=linux` and `GOARCH=arm64`), you need the `aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc` cross compiler. This is required because Gitea build tags uses `cgo`'s foreign-function interface (FFI).
|
|
|
|
Cross-build Gitea for Linux ARM64, without any tags:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
GOOS=linux GOARCH=arm64 make build
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Cross-build Gitea for Linux ARM64, with recommended build tags:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
CC=aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc GOOS=linux GOARCH=arm64 TAGS="bindata sqlite sqlite_unlock_notify" make build
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Replace `CC`, `GOOS`, and `GOARCH` as appropriate for your architecture target.
|
|
|
|
You will sometimes need to build a static compiled image. To do this you will need to add:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
LDFLAGS="-linkmode external -extldflags '-static' $LDFLAGS" TAGS="netgo osusergo $TAGS" make build
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This can be combined with `CC`, `GOOS`, and `GOARCH` as above.
|
|
|
|
### Adding bash/zsh autocompletion (from 1.19)
|
|
|
|
A script to enable bash-completion can be found at [`contrib/autocompletion/bash_autocomplete`](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/go-gitea/gitea/main/contrib/autocompletion/bash_autocomplete). This should be altered as appropriate and can be `source` in your `.bashrc`
|
|
or copied as `/usr/share/bash-completion/completions/gitea`.
|
|
|
|
Similary a script for zsh-completion can be found at [`contrib/autocompletion/zsh_autocomplete`](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/go-gitea/gitea/main/contrib/autocompletion/zsh_autocomplete). This can be copied to `/usr/share/zsh/_gitea` or sourced within your
|
|
`.zshrc`.
|
|
|
|
YMMV and these scripts may need further improvement.
