The steps below tested on Ubuntu 16.04, but those should work on any Linux distributions (with little modification). 21 22 ## Using systemd 23 24 Copy the sample [gitea.service](https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/blob/main/contrib/systemd/gitea.service) to `/etc/systemd/system/gitea.service`, then edit the file with your favorite editor. 25 26 Uncomment any service that needs to be enabled on this host, such as MySQL. 27 28 Change the user, home directory, and other required startup values. Change the 29 PORT or remove the -p flag if default port is used. 30 31 Enable and start Gitea at boot: 32 33 ``` 34 sudo systemctl enable gitea 35 sudo systemctl start gitea 36 ``` 37 38 If you have systemd version 220 or later, you can enable and immediately start Gitea at once by: 39 40 ``` 41 sudo systemctl enable gitea --now 42 ``` 43 44 ## Using supervisor 45 46 Install supervisor by running below command in terminal: 47 48 ``` 49 sudo apt install supervisor 50 ``` 51 52 Create a log dir for the supervisor logs: 53 54 ``` 55 # assuming Gitea is installed in /home/git/gitea/ 56 mkdir /home/git/gitea/log/supervisor 57 ``` 58 59 Append the configuration from the sample 60 [supervisord config](https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/blob/main/contrib/supervisor/gitea) to `/etc/supervisor/supervisord.conf`. 61 62 Using your favorite editor, change the user (`git`) and home 63 (`/home/git`) settings to match the deployment environment. Change the PORT 64 or remove the -p flag if default port is used. 65 66 Lastly enable and start supervisor at boot: 67 68 ``` 69 sudo systemctl enable supervisor 70 sudo systemctl start supervisor 71 ``` 72 73 If you have systemd version 220 or later, you can enable and immediately start supervisor by: 74 75 ``` 76 sudo systemctl enable supervisor --now 77 ```
