Cool project if you want to do something with a raspberry pi. For myself, I use GitLab which let's you have unlimited private repos, any number of contributors. (as opposed to the 5 collaborator limit of bitbucket) Lots of other cool stuff too like GitLab CI built in.
Yes, I guess I was more keen to put RPi to some good use, and stumbled on the idea to set up private repos, while started working on some side project that I didn’t wanted to be public on github.
Definitely, I'm often looking for something fun to experiment with on my pi. :) Great article, very cool.
Me too, but no free time :)
Thanks :)
On my raspberry pi with Stretch there was a difference when editing the ssh configuration file:
nano /etc/ssh/sshd.config
should be
nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config
Just thought I'd share in case someone else has the same issue.
You are right, I have corrected the path in article. Thanks!
This is a really excellent guide; thank you for taking the trouble to create and post it.
However, I won't (unfortunately) be following it... I was reading through and I got to the part where you talk about the need to change the default port of SSH, because Gogs wants to run its own SSH service on port 22...
This is is a really, really, really bad idea.
TCP ports below 1023 are known as "well known ports" and are configured consistently across virtually all devices and systems that support the TCP/IP protocol stack. Having any third party package seek to over-ride a default port in this way is dangerous and should tell us all something about the authors of this software.
I am not claiming or suggesting that Gogs is in any way malicious. However, when a piece of (user-space) software asks you to compromise the integrity and security of a system so that it can be installed and run, you should be asking yourself why it is doing this?
Were the Gogs developers just lazy? Did they not want to use a custom port for their SSH access? If so, that's bad practice right there.
Did they not realize that this is poor practice? If so, how many other poor security decisions have they made?
I don't want my comments to be seen as critical of the article [which is clear and very well written] or the operational functionality of Gogs [on which I have no information to base a view], but I hope this comment will encourage readers to think about the software installation / configuration process a bit more carefully...
Each time you are asked to make a non-default configuration setting on your computer, you are taking a risk. Eventually, you may become so accustomed to this that you stop seeing non-default settings like this as a risk, and implement a requested change that has far more serious consequences... So it helps to have an understanding of the risks and consequences.
Be aware. Be safe.
Mm, check Gitea instead of Gogs, it is a community driven fork, data compatible, of Gogs
Will do. ;) What benefits over Gogs you think it has?
docs.gitea.io/en-us/comparison/ Here you go :)
I love this setup. Backup is really not a problem. I'm using duplicati for scheduled encrypted daily backups and uploading for all my sensitive stuff to my separate Gmail account. There are also many different tools available for backups - rsync, rclone just to name a few. I really like the idea of setting things up myself - you learn way more about how this stuff works. Thank you!
