# Gitea on dankclaw
|
|
|
|
Private Git hosting on dankclaw. Two quadlet-managed containers in the rootless podman session of user `dank`: Gitea and PostgreSQL, sharing a dedicated network unit. The former `gitea-caddy` container is **retired** — the canonical fleet Caddy (`caddy.service`, see [/caddy/index.md](/caddy/index.md)) fronts `gitea.franksdank.cloud`; do not recreate the retired unit.
|
|
|
|
**Host:** dankclaw (192.168.0.143 LAN)
|
|
**Config:** `~/.config/containers/systemd/gitea-{postgres,server}.container` + `gitea.network`
|
|
**Local access:** `http://dankclaw:3000` (verified 2026-10-18)
|
|
**Domain:** `https://gitea.franksdank.cloud` (live; served by fleet Caddy, DNS-01 TLS)
|
|
|
|
## Architecture
|
|
|
|
| Container | Unit | Port | Purpose |
|
|
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
| `gitea-server` | `gitea-server.service` | 3000 (HTTP), 2222 (SSH) | Git web UI, API, SSH daemon |
|
|
| `gitea-postgres` | `gitea-postgres.service` | 5432 (internal) | Database |
|
|
| (network) | `gitea-network.service` | — | quadlet `gitea.network` bring-up |
|
|
|
|
The containers share the private network `systemd-gitea` (quadlet `gitea.network`, DNS enabled). The automatic `podman` default network has DNS disabled; do not run the stack on it.
|
|
|
|
## Management
|
|
|
|
All commands run as `dank` on dankclaw.
|
|
|
|
| Action | Command |
|
|
|---|---|
|
|
| Start all | `systemctl --user start gitea-postgres gitea-server` |
|
|
| Stop all | `systemctl --user stop gitea-server gitea-postgres` |
|
|
| Restart Gitea only | `systemctl --user restart gitea-server` |
|
|
| Follow logs | `podman logs -f gitea-server` or `journalctl --user -u gitea-server -f` |
|
|
| Check status | `systemctl --user status gitea-postgres gitea-server` |
|
|
|
|
## Data Persistence
|
|
|
|
All data lives on host bind mounts under `/home/dank/Containers/gitea/` (fleet storage standard since 2026-09-01; verified live 2026-10-18). Containers are ephemeral. Stopping a quadlet unit removes its container; the next start recreates it. Volumes survive. The old `/opt/gitea/` tree remains on disk as a leftover — do not use it.
|
|
|
|
| Path | Contents |
|
|
|---|---|
|
|
| `/home/dank/Containers/gitea/data/` | Git repositories, app.ini, attachments |
|
|
| `/home/dank/Containers/gitea/postgres/` | PostgreSQL data files |
|
|
| `/home/dank/Containers/gitea/env` | EnvironmentFile (mode 0600; `GITEA_DB_PASSWORD`) |
|
|
|
|
See [[data-persistence|data-persistence]] for backup and restore.
|
|
|
|
## Boot Persistence
|
|
|
|
User-level linger is enabled for `dank`. The units start at host boot without a login. Each unit carries `[Install] WantedBy=default.target`; the podman generator applies it. The legacy podman-compose stack had no units and did not survive reboots (incident 2026-08-16).
|
|
|
|
See [[management|management]] for boot persistence details and troubleshooting.
|
|
|
|
## Repo Copies
|
|
|
|
The quadlet files and `.env` templates are tracked in the `serverAppConfigs` deploy repo; the sibling vault page `Infrastructure/Gitea.md` (in `~/Projects/serverAppConfig/serverAppConfigs-docs/`) is the deploy-side source of truth. Secrets live only on the host under `Containers/gitea/` (mode 0600), never in either docs tree.
