spk (Synology package) to install gitea into Synology NAS

gitea-spk

Fork from gogs-spk to create a SPK package for Gitea, a Gogs fork.

Dependencies

The Gitea package requires the Git Server package.

Automatic cron job for updating existing Gitea on Synology NAS - 2020 update

To create automatic cron job for updating your Gitea, clone cron_gitea_update.sh file and set it inside Task Schedule to run and update Gitea automatically when new stable release comes up.

You can also run this script manually from SSH console of your NAS, if you want to update it when you are ready, not when new release comes up.

To setup this script, only required changes should be made at lines 24 and 34:

24: DOWNLOAD_URL=https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/releases/download/v${GITEA_VERSION}/gitea-${GITEA_VERSION}-linux-XXX.xz

34: sudo synopkg install /tmp/gitea/gitea-spk/gitea-${GITEA_VERSION}-linux-XXX.spk

where instead of XXX you should insert your NAS CPU architecture, for example arm64 or arm-6 as shown below.

If Gitea package won't start automatically, you can just turn it on in Package Manager.

This script is using gitea-spk packgage from flipswitchingmonkey and was tested with Gitea 1.11 and 1.12 on May and June 2020. Works OK. Huge thanks for salesgroup for sharing.

Package creation

To create the package, clone the repository:

$ git clone https://github.com/flipswitchingmonkey/gitea-spk.git

Change into the newly created directory - the root directory:

$ cd gitea-spk

Download the Gitea binary matching your architecture from https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/releases into the root directory. For example, a DiskStation with an ARMv6 (or ARMv7) CPU would require:

$ wget https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/releases/download/v1.8.3/gitea-1.8.3-linux-arm-6

Invoke the build script to have the package created:

$ ./create_spk.sh

The install package matching your binary (here gitea-1.8.3-linux-arm-6.spk) will be created in the root directory.

If you have several binaries downloaded, you can specify the binary for which the package should be created:

$ ./create_spk.sh gitea-1.8.3-linux-arm-6

Installation

Make sure Package Center > Settings > General > Trust Level is set to Any Publisher and perform installation via Package Center > Manual Install.

The installer will create the (internal) user/group gitea:gitea when not found and the executable is run with this user.

When installation has finished, the package center shows url and status of your Gitea server.

When accessed for the first time, Gitea will greet you with the installation settings. You should set your Repository Root Path to a shared folder. You can configure permissions for shared folders in the control panel via Edit > Permissions > System internal user to grant the Gitea user permission.

Tested to work on DS215j with Gitea v1.8.3 (arm-6).
