The release 0.12.0 will change various configuration variables, e.g. ROOT_URL is changed to EXTERNAL_URL. Please read the official changelog before reporting any issues: https://github.com/gogs/gogs/releases/tag/v0.12.0

Further notes from myself:

  • ROOT_URL did not work at all for me anymore. So it is apparently not just deprecated (as the changelog states).
  • The changelog mentions no alternative to STATIC_ROOT_PATH. It looks like this directory is simply not required at all anymore because files are built into the executable. Overrides should be possible by placing files into the working directory (should be /var/lib/gogs/public with the default config provided by this package; haven't tested yet).

Important note: You likely want to use the official Gitea package instead.

Gitea - a fork of Gogs - has been added to the official repositories: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/gitea

That means for Arch Linux the decision has been made to support Gitea rather than Gogs. Hence I suggest everyone to use Gitea instead of Gogs for new installations. I've been testing Gitea for a while myself now and it works well. So I'm also going to switch fully to Gitea myself.

Nevertheless I'll continue maintaining this package for a while now to support old installations. However, I'm not doing any fine-tuning for this package anymore.

Further notes
  • ~~~If anybody was using the Gitea package from my PKGBUILDs repository: It is easy to migrate the official Gitea package because the packages are structured more or less the same. The only significant difference between the packages is that mine was using the user gitea and the official package the user git. So that has to be changed in the config and for the ownership of /var/lib/gitea.~~~ The official package now uses the user gitea similar to my initial packaging was done.
  • It is also possible to install this Gogs package provided here and Gitea at the same time (of course operating on different databases!). That makes it easy to try out Gitea without breaking the existing Gogs installation. Repos can be copied quite easily using my gogs2gitea script. (I'm afraid migrating isn't possible anymore without installing an old Gitea version first.)

ah. Thanks. Looks like I'm having other issues on my end. Gogs seems to be incapable of writing to its own home folder (rewrite ssh austhorized keys does nothing). I suspect something is wrong with my install/db/config, vs something with the package itself. I have my database and repos backed up and will attempt a full reinstall of gogs tonight. Sorry I was a bit snappy in my unedited comment below

@CountMurphy: Remove symlink, go to gogs "Admin panel" and press "Rewrite '.ssh/authorized_keys' file (caution: non-Gogs keys will be lost)" and "Resync pre-receive, update and post-receive hooks of all repositories" . This is long-standing bug/feature, gogs store part of configuration paths in database. You must repeat this after each path change.

my personal version puts everything in /home/git using the git user from git package, less then few tweaks to get ssh running with git@localhost http://boosterdev.ddns.net/git/boosterdev/gogs

Solved that issue thanks to your comment below " binary is now under /usr/bin * and only static files under /usr/share/gogs" This needs to be added back else it completely breaks git over ssh. ln -s /usr/bin/gogs /usr/share/gogs/gogs fixed the issue.

Something went really, really wrong with this update. All my configs were ignored. Was able to manually move them to /etc and now Gogs mostly works. The only real issue is I cannot interact with gogs over ssh anymore. trying to fetch (or clone) Gives me: bash: /usr/share/gogs/gogs: No such file or directory fatal: Could not read from remote repository. Please make sure you have the correct access rights Browsing /usr/share/gogs confirms that there is no file called gogs. Did this file not get included? Even deleting my ssh key, and re-adding it over the web interface does not fix this problem

Gogs fits in the regular file system tree. No reason to put everything under /opt.
