Update gitea on uberspace

14 May 2018 - update: 16 Jun 2019

Just the necessary step for updating gitea on uberspace 6. Setup-guides (in german) can be found here or here.

1. create a backup, just in case…

   ~/bin/gitea % ./gitea dump
   

2. download the latest gitea binary from https://dl.gitea.io/gitea/

   ~/bin/gitea % wget "https://dl.gitea.io/gitea/1.4.1/gitea-1.4.1-linux-amd64"
   

   Test the binary by calling % ./gitea-1.4.1-linux-amd64 --version
   Maybe you will get something like FATAL: kernel too old, then you may join this issue.

3. stop the service

   ~/bin/gitea % svc -d ~/service/gitea
   

4. rename the old binary, rename the new binary, set executable flag (file permissions should already be ok)

   ~/bin/gitea % mv gitea gitea.old
   ~/bin/gitea % mv gitea-1.4.1-linux-amd64 gitea
   ~/bin/gitea % chmod +x gitea
   

5. start the service

   ~/bin/gitea % svc -u ~/service/gitea
   

6. test if everything works as expected, then remove the old binary and the dump
