Forgejo on halla-aho.net

Lightweight Git hosting + CI with Forgejo (Gitea fork) behind Apache on halla-aho.net.

What’s included

• Docker Compose for Forgejo + SSH and an Actions runner (forgejo/docker-compose.yml).
• Apache vhost snippet (added to default-ssl.conf) to reverse-proxy git.halla-aho.net to the Forgejo container on port 3200.
• SSH for git is exposed on host port 2223 (mapped to container 22); change in compose if that port is taken.

Prereqs

• Docker installed on halla-aho.net.
• SSLMate certs for git.halla-aho.net placed on the host (paths referenced in default-ssl.conf).
• A DNS record for git.halla-aho.net pointing to the server.

Deploy Forgejo

1. Create host dirs for data:

   sudo mkdir -p /srv/forgejo/data /srv/forgejo/runner
   sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /srv/forgejo
   

2. Start the Forgejo service:

   docker compose -f forgejo/docker-compose.yml up -d forgejo
   

   • If port 2223 is already in use, edit forgejo/docker-compose.yml (ports: and FORGEJO__SERVER__SSH_PORT) to another free port, then rerun the command.
3. Configure Apache (already added to default-ssl.conf):
   • VirtualHost git.halla-aho.net:9443 proxies to http://127.0.0.1:3200/.
   • TLS files: /etc/apache2/ssl/git.halla-aho.net.{crt,key,chain.crt} (update if different).
   • Enable the site and reload Apache.
4. Finish setup in the UI at https://git.halla-aho.net/:
   • Create the admin user.
   • Configure SMTP in the admin UI (Mail settings).
   • Set ROOT_URL/SSH_DOMAIN if you change ports/domains.

Register the Actions runner

1. In Forgejo, create a runner registration token (Site Admin → Runners).
2. Register the runner (writes /srv/forgejo/runner/config.yaml):

   docker compose -f forgejo/docker-compose.yml run --rm runner \
     forgejo-runner register \
     --instance https://git.halla-aho.net \
     --token <REGISTRATION_TOKEN> \
     --name halla-runner \
     --labels docker \
     --config /data/config.yaml
   

3. Start the runner:

   docker compose -f forgejo/docker-compose.yml up -d runner
   

CI workflow for this repo

• Add workflows under .forgejo/workflows/.
• Example included: ci.yml runs npm install + lint + type-check + format check on push/PR using the docker runner label.
