# Ansible role gitea - Install a gitea server

This role installs and manages a gitea server - Source code & screenshots.

Gitea is a Golang Git repository webapp, having the same look and feel as GitHub.

It is still under developpement, see "Disclaimer" if you can't make it work.

## Sample exemple of use in a playbook

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

- name: "Install gitea"
  hosts: all
  vars:
    gitea_user: "gitea"
    gitea_home: "/var/lib/gitea"
    # To limit your users to 30 repos
    gitea_user_repo_limit: 30
    # Not to make use of any CDN
    gitea_offline_mode: true

    # Some 'rendering' options for your URLs
    gitea_http_domain: git.yourdomain.fr
    gitea_root_url: https://git.yourdomain.fr

    # Here we assume we are behind a reverse proxy that will
    # handle https for us, so we bind on localhost:3000 using HTTP
    gitea_protocol: http
    gitea_http_listen: 127.0.0.1
    gitea_http_port: 3000

    # SSH server configuration
    gitea_ssh_listen: 0.0.0.0
    gitea_ssh_port: 2222
    # For URLs rendering again
    gitea_ssh_domain: git.yourdomain.fr
    gitea_start_ssh: true
    gitea_ssh_port: 2222

    gitea_secret_key: 3sp00ky5me
    gitea_disable_gravatar: true
    # To make at least your first user register
    gitea_disable_registration: false
    gitea_require_signin: true
    gitea_enable_captcha: true

    gitea_show_user_email: false
