How to build your own Github through Gogs under Linux

With the gradual popularity of Github, more and more people will choose to build their own projects in it, that is, publish their own code on Github. However, Github limits the number of private repositories that can be created on a single account, so some high-frequency users may need to find other ways to build their own code repositories. At this time, building Github yourself became an option. This article mainly introduces how to build your own Github through Gogs under Linux system to release the restrictions of Github account.

1. Installation environment

Before starting to build, you need to ensure that the system has the corresponding environment installed:

1. MySQL or PostgreSQL
2. Go >= 1.12.x
3. Git >= 1.7.1 (2.x recommended)

For Ubuntu systems, you can install MySQL through the following command:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mysql-server

To install Go, you can download the corresponding installation package from the official website and follow the instructions.

For some versions of Ubuntu or Debian systems, git-core may not be installed and needs to be installed:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git-core

2. Install Gogs

1. Download the latest version of Gogs from Github and extract it to the directory:

wget https://dl.gogs.io/gogs_latest_linux_amd64.tar.gz
tar xvfz gogs_latest_linux_amd64.tar.gz

2. Enter the downloaded Gogs directory and execute the installation:

cd gogs
./gogs install

When performing the installation, you need to enter the following content:

Do you want to install as Windows service/daemon? (y/n)
n

Please enter the URL: (e.g. http://domain.com[:port] or http://[IP]:[port])
http://localhost:3000

The next installation steps will require you to enter some database-related content, which you need to configure according to your own needs. It is recommended to use MySQL as the database and install the second server in this step.

When you need to fill in Git information, you need to pay attention to adding the ssh-key used to GitHub.

3. Start Gogs:

cd gogs
./gogs web

After successful startup, you can visit http://localhost:3000 in the browser.

3. Configure Nginx reverse proxy

If your Gogs instance is in a production environment, it is recommended to use Nginx as the reverse proxy server.

1. Install Nginx:

sudo apt install nginx

2. Create a vhost file:

sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/gogs

Add the following content into it:

server {
    listen 80;

    server_name git.example.com; # your domain name

    access_log /var/log/nginx/git.access.log;
    error_log /var/log/nginx/git.error.log;

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://localhost:3000;
        proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
    }

    location /ws {
        proxy_pass http://localhost:3000;
        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
    }

    location ~ /\. {
        deny all;
    }
}

Please change server_name according to your needs.

3. Make sure Nginx resolves the vhost:

sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/gogs /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/

Then reload the Nginx configuration:

sudo nginx -t
sudo systemctl reload nginx

Now you can open your Webbrowser Website, log in via GitHub OAuth.

4. Summary

The above is how to set up your own Github account through Gogs. I believe you will encounter some details in actual operation, but in general the operation is simple and easy to understand. For these detailed questions, you can go to the official documentation or forum for help. Building Github yourself can not only achieve more flexible management, but also become a learning process. Having developer tools makes it a learning project.
