Gitea: Code Hosting and Versioning on Docker

In this video we'll look at installing Gitea on Docker. In a previous livestream I showed how to install Gitlab on Docker and a few people have mentioned that Gitea is a great alternative.
Gitea is a community managed lightweight code hosting solution written in Go. It is published under the MIT license.

I'm so happy & enjoy every time when you uploaded new video. Thanks for sharing.

[@DBTechYT]

Thank you for continuing to watch

[@user-cc8kb]

Thanks a lot for your guidance here. Thanks to you I was able to set up correctly.

[@Beatleman91]

Hi David. Can you make a video on container called Filebrowser? there is filebrowser/filebrowser container, but the Yacht template suggests 80x86/filebrowser fork, and I can't manage neither of them to work properly.

[@saikouma1922]

Awesome vid as always, can you do a vid about installing pihole docker with unbound? I haven't been able to get to work properly

[@jamalarmel]

Any chance of making a video about how to install Gitpod on a home server? If at all possible =)

[@sumitmamoria]

Nice. Would love to see you make a video on setting up an email server on a homelab setup.

[@DBTechYT]

I've talked about this about a hundred times. I will probably not do a mail server video.
Here are some reasons why:
"Why you should never host your own email" nilead.com/article/5-reasons-you-should-not-host-your-own-email

@@DBTechYT Oh. Thanks for the links.. I didn't know you had discussed this. My bad.

[@o0jbs0o]

Gitea FTW 💪🏻

[@naderbelal8439]

@DB Tech, thank you for the video, but @1:32 that the basic installation on docker doesn't have a database or anything kind of that, but Gitea Doc states clearly that in case of a basic installation Sqlite 3 would be Gitea database

[@DBTechYT]

I encourage you to look at the video description where there are resources including a docker-compose with a database container

[@mr.potatoez]

I followed this video, but when I press the 'instal gitea' button I get the following error:
The database settings are invalid: dial tcp: lookup db on 127.0.0.11:53: no such host

[@DBTechYT]

127.0.0.11 isn't the right IP. If you're going to use the loopback address, it should be 127.0.0.1, not 127.0.0.11

[@mr.potatoez]

@@DBTechYT Thank you for your reply. 127.0.0.1 Unfortunately doesn't work either. I now get the following error: The database settings are invalid: dial tcp 127.0.0.1:3306: connect: connection refused

[@DBTechYT]

If you're trying to connect to the database, you shouldn't be using the loopback IP. Usually people use the name of the app. If you're using this docker-compose, you should be using "db" (without the quotes) as the address for the database.

[@mr.potatoez]

@@DBTechYT I have "db:3306" for the host field, but for some reason that points to 127.0.0.11, and gives me the error of the first comment in this thread. I use the exact same script you provided in the description of the video. The only thing I changed was the passwords.

[@mr.potatoez]

I just found the solution. I had to update Gitea and MySQl and it works! Thank you for your help, I really appreciate it.

[@MikeNewham]

Great, GitLab was originally taking up 2 gigs of space :(

[@DBTechYT]

Glad to hear that this is a good alternative for you :)
