Gogs setup & config

see gogs git server for main install page

first config

surf to http://80.209.239.124:3000
first time vist gogs site , at least 1 user must be created and config set up : 

db type = sqlite
path := /home/wmftp/main/gogs/gogs.db   (use absolute path !) 
app name  :=   CNM_VCS
repos root path := /home/wmftp/main/repos
user :=   ~~wmftp~~  (insufficient permissions)   => root 

gogs user (first created becomes gogs admin)  : 
ward    ( login with ward or  w-j-m@gmx.com  )   --   tEn1*.GitHub

create a host file entry

edit the /etc/hosts file (as root , sudo is not sufficient)
add : 80.209.239.124 CNM_VCS

create a new repository via command line with gogs

  • log on to gogs ( http://80.209.239.124:3000 ) using ward
  • create a repo
  • get repo url ( http://localhost:3000/ward/notes.IT.git , etc)

on laptop :
go the directory , this will become the working dir
I use the method of separating working dir and local repo 

cd /mnt/data/PKS/nota/notes.IT/
touch README.md
~~git init~~
git init --separate-git-dir /mnt/data/repos/notes.IT
# git add README.md
git add --all
git commit -m "first commit"
git remote add origin http://localhost:3000/ward/notes.IT.git  # error : do not use localhost 

git push -u origin master
    => Failed to connect to localhost port 3000: Connection refused   => cofig in git folder adapted => ok 
    asks for use == gogs use = ward or email

rectify localhost error of above by an edit to “config” file in the .git folder 

[core]
    repositoryformatversion = 0
    filemode = true
    bare = false
    logallrefupdates = true
[remote "origin"]
    url = http://localhost:3000/ward/notes.IT.git   =>   http://80.209.239.124:3000/ward/notes.IT.git 
    fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*

now create 

cd /mnt/data/PKS/nota/notes.wm/   # cd /mnt/data/creata/scripta/
touch README.md
git init --separate-git-dir /mnt/data/repos/notes.wm    # /scripta
git add --all
git commit -m "first commit"
git remote add origin http://80.209.239.124:3000/ward/notes.wm.git   # /scripta.git
git push -u origin master

to push an existing repository from the command line :

git remote add origin http://:3000/ward/notes.IT.git
git push -u origin master
