to be continued...

• setup the mysql databse:

ssh root@daq00
mysql -u root ### no password
use database mysql;
create user 'gitea'@'localhost' identified by 'password';
select * from user;
create database gitea;
use gitea;
grant all privileges on gitea.* to 'gitea'@'localhost';
mysql -p -u gitea gitea ### should work if correct password is entered

• activate gitea

ssh gitea@daq00
./gitea web ### should listen to localhost port 3000
open https://daq00.triumf.ca/gitea/ ### will ask for daq00 apache password
this will open a page with gitea configuration
enter mysql password
press continue
there will be no errors
takes to the create account page
first user created is administrator
then to test create 2nd user, in Site Administration -> Identity and Access -> make them administrator
gitea is ready to use now
