 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 the latest Debian Stable, it should work on Ubuntu and RedHat 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_fqdn: 'git.example.com'
    gitea_root_url: 'https://git.example.com'
    gitea_protocol: http

    gitea_start_ssh: true
```

 Variables
-----------
Here is a deeper insight into the variables of this gitea role. For the exact function of some variables and the possibility to add more options we recommend a look at this [config cheat sheet](https://docs.gitea.io/en-us/config-cheat-sheet/).

### gitea update mechanism
To determine which gitea version to install, you can choose between two variants.
Either you define exactly which release you install. Or you use the option ``latest`` to always install the latest release from the [gitea releases](https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/releases/latest).

### optional customisation
You can optionally customize your gitea using this ansible role. We got our information about customisation from [docs.gitea.io/en-us/customizing-gitea](https://docs.gitea.io/en-us/customizing-gitea/).
To deploy multiple files we created the ``gitea_custom_search`` variable, that can point to the path where you put the custom gitea files *( default ``"files/host_files/{{ inventory_hostname }}/gitea"``)*.

+ **LOGO**:
  - Set ``gitea_customize_logo`` to ``true``
  - We search for:
    * ``logo.svg`` - Used for favicon, site icon, app icon
    * ``logo.png`` - Used for Open Graph
    * ``favicon.png`` - Used as fallback for browsers that don’t support SVG favicons
    * ``apple-touch-icon.png`` - Used on iOS devices for bookmarks
  - We search in *(using [first_found](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/ansible/builtin/first_found_lookup.html))*:
    * ``{{ gitea_custom_search }}/gitea_logo/``
    * ``files/{{ inventory_hostname }}/gitea_logo/``
    * ``files/{{ gitea_http_domain }}/gitea_logo/``
    * ``files/gitea_logo/``
+ **FOOTER**:
  - Set ``gitea_customize_footer`` to ``true``
  - We Search using first_found in:
    * "{{ gitea_custom_search }}/gitea_footer/extra_links_footer.tmpl"
    * "files/{{ inventory_hostname }}/gitea_footer/extra_links_footer.tmpl"
    * "files/{{ gitea_http_domain }}/gitea_footer/extra_links_footer.tmpl"
    * 'files/gitea_footer/extra_links_footer.tmpl'
    * 'files/extra_links_footer.tmpl'
+ **CUSTOM FILES**:
  - Set ``gitea_customize_files`` to ``true``
  - Create a directory with the files you want to deploy.
  - Point ``gitea_customize_files_path`` to this directory. *(Default ``{{ gitea_custom_search }}/gitea_files/``)*

## Contributing
Don't hesitate to create a pull request, and when in doubt you can reach me on
Mastodon [@l3d@chaos.social](https://chaos.social/@l3d).

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.
