Run as service in Linux
Run Gitea as Linux service
You can run Gitea as service, using either systemd or supervisor. The steps below tested on Ubuntu 16.04, but those should work on any Linux distributions (with little modification).
Using systemd
Copy the sample gitea.service to /etc/systemd/system/gitea.service
, then edit the file with your favorite editor.
Uncomment any service that needs to be enabled on this host, such as MySQL.
Change the user, home directory, and other required startup values. Change the PORT or remove the -p flag if default port is used.
Enable and start Gitea at boot:
sudo systemctl enable gitea
sudo systemctl start gitea
If you have systemd version 220 or later, you can enable and immediately start Gitea at once by:
sudo systemctl enable gitea --now
