<h1>Gogs</h1>

<p>
Github is ok, but it's proprietary and funded by venture capital. If you been around on the internet for long enough then you know how this story eventually works itself out - i.e. badly for the users. It's really only a question of time. If you're a software developer or do things which involve the Git version control system then it's a good idea to become accustomed to hosting your own repositories, before the inevitable Github shitstorm occurs.
</p>
<p>
A Git hosting system called <ahref="https://gogs.io">Gogs</a> can optionally be installed. This is very similar to Github in appearance and use. It's lightweight and so well suited for use on low power ARM servers.
Using cursor keys, space bar and Enter key select <b>Administrator controls</b> and type in your password.
</p>
<p>
Select <b>Add/Remove Apps</b> then <b>gogs</b>. You will then be asked for a domain name and if you are using FreeDNS also the code for the domain which can be found under <b>Dynamic DNS</b> on the FreeDNS site (the random string from "<i>quick cron example</i>" which appears after <i>update.php?</i> and before <i>>></i>). For more details on obtaining a domain and making it accessible via dynamic DNS see the <ahref="./faq.html">FAQ</a>. Typically the domain name you use will be a subdomain, such as <i>code.mydomainname.net</i>. It will need to be a domain which you have bought somewhere and own and not one of the FreeDNS subdomains, otherwise you won't be able to get a SSL/TLS certificate for it.
</p>
<p>
After the install has completed go to <b>Security settings</b> and select <b>Create a new Let's Encrypt certificate</b> and enter the domain name that you are using for Gogs. If you're using the "onion only" version of the system then you don't need to do this. If the certificate is obtained successfully then you will see a congratulations message.
If you have just obtained a Lets Encrypt certificate as above then go to <b>About</b> on the administrator control panel and you should see your Gogs domain listed there along with an onion address. You can then navigate to your site in a browser.
</p>
<p>
If you installed the system using a disk image then you can log in using the username and password which was originally shown when you installed the system. If you didn't install from a disk image then a new random password will be generated for each site and stored within a readme file. If you need to view that file then exit to the user control panel, select <b>Exit to the command line</b> and then run:
In a browser navigate to your Gogs site and click the <b>Register</b> button. The first user registered on the system becomes the administrator. Once you've done that then it's a good idea to disable further registrations. Currently that's a little complicated, but you can do it as follows:
