Gitea: Git with a cup of tea

Gitea seems like a good candidate for a selfhosted variant of GitHub, so why not host it in a squashfs image ... :)

Add app.ini in /etc/gitea on the host you'll run Gitea.

To build the image run build.sh and that should be it.

Installation

Gitea has a web UI installer to set up the database and the filesystem structure. Couldn't find a cli that does it, it's a bit cumbersome to do it through the web UI, but here goes.

Comment the INSTALL_LOCK = true variable in /etc/gitea/app.ini, or set it to false.
Open http://localhost:3000/install and set all configuration to match the one in /etc/gitea/app.ini. The image below matches the config from this repo.

You will get an error:
```
Failed to save configuration: open /etc/gitea/app.ini: permission denied
```
Profit! The filesystem and db are all set up, you can ignore the permission error.
YOU'LL NEED TO UPDATE INSTALL_LOCK = true in app.ini to continue using Gitea without being redirected to /install.

TODO

Instructions for setting up SSH with Gitea's built-in SSH server and the SSH server running on the host. https://docs.gitea.io/en-us/install-with-docker/
