gogs on nginx

Nginx Aug 7, 2018

Gogs is a painless self-hosted Git service. It's much smaller than GitLab so it has much lower system requirements. I'm running it on a RPI2.

Gogs is running on http://localhost:3000
So we need nginx to serve our git service to the internet.

To achieve this add the following lines in your server config file (e.g. /etc/nginx/sites-available/default)

    location /gogs {

      proxy_set_header        Host $host;
      proxy_set_header        X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
      proxy_set_header        X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
      proxy_set_header        X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;

      rewrite                 ^/gogs/(.*) /$1 break;
      rewrite                 ^/gogs$ /$1 break;
      proxy_pass              http://localhost:3000;
      proxy_read_timeout      90;
    }

reload nginx
