ansible role gitea

This role installs and manages gitea - 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.

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.

# 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.

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.

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. 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 dont support SVG favicons
      • apple-touch-icon.png - Used on iOS devices for bookmarks
    • We search in (using first_found):
      • {{ 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.

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. 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.
