Notes on SSH usage

If you want to use Gitea with ssh and be able to pull/push with you ssh key, your ssh daemon must be properly configured to use private/public keys. Here is a sample configuration of /etc/ssh/sshd_config that works with Gitea:

ChallengeResponseAuthentication no
PasswordAuthentication no
UsePAM no

You also need to add your public key to your Gitea profile.

Host domain.tld
    port 2222 # change this with the port you use

Architecture: this package is compatible with amd64, i386 and arm. The package will try to detect it with the command uname -m and fail if it can't detect the architecture. If that happens please open an issue describing your hardware and the result of the command uname -m.

Upgrade

• Pass the NO_BACKUP_UPGRADE env variable with 1 at each upgrade. By example NO_BACKUP_UPGRADE=1 yunohost app upgrade gitea.
• Set the settings disable_backup_before_upgrade to 1. You can set this with this command:

yunohost app setting gitea disable_backup_before_upgrade -v 1

After this settings will be applied for all next upgrade.

• Launch the backup of gitea with this following command:

yunohost backup create --app gitea

client_max_body_size 200M;

Don't forget to restart Gitea sudo systemctl restart gitea.service.

This settings are restored to the default config when Gitea is updated. Don't forget to restore your setup after all updates.
