Install Gogs from binary on VestaCP

This tutorial was written based on Ubuntu 14.04 with VestaCP.

For this example, I created user cooler, domain repo.my.cooler and database cooler_repo on VestaCP panel.

To install Gogs, you will need to use user with admin rights, on my tutorial I'm using default admin user from VestaCP.

1 - install supervisor.

$ sudo apt-get -y install supervisor

2 - Go to your domain root and download latest Gogs binary. To see latest build, go to https://gogs.io/docs/installation/install_from_binary and get correct link.

$ cd /home/coller/web/repo.my.cooler
/home/coller/web/repo.my.cooler$ sudo wget https://dl.gogs.io/gogs_v0.9.13_linux_amd64.tar.gz
/home/coller/web/repo.my.cooler$ sudo tar -zxvf gogs_v0.9.13_linux_amd64.tar.gz

3 - Create folder to contain git repositories and apply correct user permissions.

/home/coller/web/repo.my.cooler$ sudo mkdir gogs-repositories
/home/coller/web/repo.my.cooler$ sudo chown cooler. gogs gogs-repositories

4 - Create supervisor config for Gogs with your favorite editor.

$ sudo vim /etc/supervisor/conf.d/gogs.conf

Note: look that in my config I'm using my user cooler and domain repo.my.cooler examples.

[program:gogs]
directory=/home/cooler/web/repo.my.cooler/gogs/
command=/home/cooler/web/repo.my.cooler/gogs/gogs web
autostart=true
autorestart=true
startsecs=10
stdout_logfile=/home/cooler/web/repo.my.cooler/logs/gogs-stdout.log
stdout_logfile_maxbytes=1MB
stdout_logfile_backups=10
stdout_capture_maxbytes=1MB
stderr_logfile=/home/cooler/web/repo.my.cooler/logs/gogs-stderr.log
stderr_logfile_maxbytes=1MB
stderr_logfile_backups=10
stderr_capture_maxbytes=1MB
environment = HOME="/home/cooler", USER="cooler"
user = cooler

5 - Create reverse proxy config for Gogs on your domain with your favorite editor.

$ sudo vim /home/cooler/conf/web/apache2.repo.my.cooler.conf

ProxyRequests Off
ProxyPass / http://localhost:3000/
ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:3000/

6 - Enable apache proxy modules and restart apache and supervisor.

$ sudo a2enmod proxy
$ sudo a2enmod proxy_http
$ sudo service supervisor restart
$ sudo service apache2 restart

7 - Open domain in your browser and configure your Gogs as example below:

8 - After this, click on "Install Gogs" and done, your Gogs is ready as example below:
