curl-bash-template.sh

So you've got a neat project and you want to be able to have others get it up and running quickly, eh?

You'd like them to be able to do something like this and have your service installed, eh?

curl -L install.example.io | bash

Well, this is a collection of scripts that you can include in your repo to do just that.

Just modify get.sh to point to your repo (you could host this on install.my-project.io, for example) and modify local.sh for your specific project.

Currently supports:

* macOS's launchd
* Linux's systemd

Available Helpers

$my_root                    typically /, but could have a prefix on android
$sudo_cmd                   'sudo' if not root and sudo is installed, otherwise empty
http_get <url> <filepath>   uses curl or wget to download a file
http_bash <url>             downloads file to a temporary location and runs it with bash

Troubleshooting systemd

Error 226/Namespace

Most likely a directory that is supposed to be writable doesn't exist.

Failed to get repository owner (foobar): no such table: user

Your custom/conf/app.ini has a line like this:

[database]
DB_TYPE = sqlite3
PATH = data/gitea.db

And it should probably look like this instead:

[database]
DB_TYPE = sqlite3
PATH = /opt/gitea/data/gitea.db

Gitea: Invalid key ID

Gitea: Invalid key ID
Invalid key ID[key-2]: public key does not exist [id: 2]
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights

You are connecting to gitea with a different ssh key (usually id_rsa.pub) than the one you uploaded. You can usually fix this by uploading your default key or by manually specifying which key to use, for example:

~/.ssh/config:

Host git.example.com
  User gitea
  IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa

Expect user 'foobar' but current user is: gitea

remote: 2017/10/25 23:53:10 [...s/setting/setting.go:625 NewContext()] [E] Expect user 'aj' but current user is: gitea
remote: error: hook declined to update refs/heads/master
To ssh://git.coolaj86.com:22042/coolaj86/hexdump.js.git
 ! [remote rejected] master -> master (hook declined)
error: failed to push some refs to 'ssh://gitea@git.coolaj86.com:22042/coolaj86/hexdump.js.git'

If you copied a previous installation of gitea over to a new user, you may get this error.

I haven't yet found where it comes from, but deleting the repository in the UI and re-adding it seems to do the trick from what I can tell. Remember to git fetch --all first before deleting.

203/EXEC

The downloaded gitea file is not executable

Oct 28 00:06:19 git-ldsconnect systemd[1]: gitea.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=203/EXEC
Oct 28 00:06:19 git-ldsconnect systemd[1]: gitea.service: Unit entered failed state.
Oct 28 00:06:19 git-ldsconnect systemd[1]: gitea.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.

Try this:

sudo chmod +x /opt/gitea/gitea

sudo systemctl restart gitea

But wait, there's more!

This could also be due to missing rx permissions on a parent directory of the executable file, which could be the result of having an existing but empty /etc/tmpfiles.d/gitea.conf (a necessary tmp folder not being generated on boot).
