 ansible role gitea
===================

This role installs and manages [gitea](https://gitea.io) - Git with a cup of tea. A painless self-hosted Git service. Gitea is a community managed lightweight code hosting solution written in Go.
[Source code & screenshots](https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea).

## Sample example of use in a playbook

The following code has been tested with Debian 8, it should work on Ubuntu as well.

```yaml
# ansible-galaxy install do1jlr.gitea

- name: "Install gitea"
  hosts: git.example.com
  roles:
    - {role: do1jlr.gitea, tags: gitea}
  vars:
    # Here we assume we are behind a reverse proxy that will
    # handle https for us, so we bind on localhost:3000 using HTTP
    gitea_http_domain: 'git.example.com'
    gitea_root_url: 'https://git.example.com'
    gitea_protocol: http

    gitea_ssh_domain: git.example.com
    gitea_start_ssh: true
```

I'm happy to fix any issue that's been opened, or even better, review your pull requests :)

## Testing
There are some tests that will validate linting. A good testing CI Pipeline that will work withe the used systemd commands is still needed.

## History of this role
this ansible role was originally developed on [github.com/thomas-maurice/ansible-role-gitea](https://github.com/thomas-maurice/ansible-role-gitea.git). Since the role there has some problems like default values for the location of the gitea repositories and the merging of pull requests usually takes several months, a fork of the role was created that offers the same. Only tidier and with the claim to react faster to issues and pull requests.
