Gitea Setup and Install on Ubuntu 20.04 and Others
After an exhaustive exercise of finger tapping on my keyboard and several attempts to clear my head by walking away from the computer, I have finally setup a Gitea instance. Following the how-tos online seemed simple enough. Follow the steps, install a user, setup permissions, download a file and bam you are good to go. But that is the furthest from the truth for my experience. I have followed what seemed to be ten different how-tos that somehow seem to differ even between the same distro install. Each of which if you were setting up a server on your local machine would work but in my case of setting it up on my Linode instance where you have no access to the GUI and or a web interface that is able to look at the localhost or 127.0.0.1 it was just was nigh impossible. The logs showed I was reaching the server every time but still nothing showed up. But I digress.
