I recommend to install Gitea using Docker.
This is a simple tool which helps to upgrade your Gitea instance to the next version.
It's currently only working on my server, but I try to make it usable with lots of Gitea installations.
Upload the executable to the directory where Gitea is installed and run it as root.
Currently it only works if you:
- Using Gitea in combination with Systemd
- Have a symlink called
giteain your Gitea directory
This application was designed to run as root, because my Gitea instance needs a special linux capability to claim the default ssh port (22). This capability can only be added when the command is run by root. Maybe we can change this in the future, so that the application only requires sudo access when it's needed.
Just get this repository with
go get github.com/LukWebsForge/GiteaUpdater
