Gogs

You can change the listening port on the first run by passing the -port flag: gogs web -port 3001. This flag also updates the port number shown on the install page.

Set the OFFLINE_MODE option to true in the [server] section of your custom/conf/app.ini: [server] OFFLINE_MODE = true. This disables external network calls such as CDN resource loading and Gravatar avatar fetching.

Create a file named robots.txt in the custom directory at the root of your Gogs installation: custom/robots.txt. Gogs will serve this file automatically at /robots.txt.

The first user to register (with ID = 1) is automatically granted administrator privileges. Once logged in, the administrator can promote other users by navigating to Admin Panel > Users and editing user accounts.

If you have shell access to the server, follow these steps: Stop Gogs, then create a temporary admin user from the command line: su git cd /home/git/gogs gogs admin create-user --name tmpuser --password tmppassword --admin --email tmp@example.com. Start Gogs again, then log in as tmpuser in your browser. Navigate to Admin Panel > Users, click Edit next to the original administrator account, and set a new password. Clean up by logging out, logging back in as the original administrator with the new password, then deleting the tmpuser account from Admin Panel > Users.

Git hooks permission is a high-level privilege that can allow arbitrary code execution on the server. Only grant it to users you fully trust. To enable or disable this permission, go to the Admin Panel > Users, select the user, and toggle the Git hooks permission in their account settings (/admin/users/:userid).

Mirrored repositories cannot have their own wiki because the mirror is a read-only copy of the upstream repository. If you see the “Welcome to Wiki!” page but no green “Create the first page” button, your repository was likely created as a mirror. You have two options: Edit the wiki on the upstream repository that is being mirrored, or convert the mirror to a regular repository under Settings > Danger Zone if you no longer need it to be a mirror.
