Gitea Engineered by OCTOPODAMI (GEBO) SSL

You can secure your Gitea installation with an SSL certificate by following the instructions below.

  • Login into your domain registrar.
  • Update your domain A or CNAME record to point to the EC2 Instance IP Address.
  • Access your Gitea admin panel at http://your-instance-ip:3000 and update the Server Domain and Gitea Base URL settings under Configuration > Server. For example, change from http://your-instance-ip:3000 to https://mydomainname.com
  • Wait for 15-20 minutes so DNS can propagate.
  • Login into the EC2 instance via the terminal.
  • Run these commands:
sudo su -
dnf update -y
amazon-linux-extras install epel -y
dnf install certbot python3-certbot-nginx -y
sudo certbot --nginx
## Answer all the questions (this is a comment)
## Then, specify your domain name (this is a comment)
sudo certbot renew --dry-run
  • Update Gitea configuration to use HTTPS:
sudo nano /etc/gitea/app.ini

Find and update these settings:

[server]
PROTOCOL = https
DOMAIN = mydomainname.com
ROOT_URL = https://mydomainname.com/
  • Restart Gitea:
sudo systemctl restart gitea
  • Access your domain name (https://mydomainname.com) in the browser.

Alternative: Using Gitea with Let's Encrypt Directly

If you prefer to configure SSL directly through Gitea without nginx:

  1. Ensure your domain points to your EC2 instance
  2. Install certbot: 
    sudo dnf install certbot -y
  3. Stop Gitea temporarily: 
    sudo systemctl stop gitea
  4. Obtain certificate: 
    sudo certbot certonly --standalone -d mydomainname.com
  5. Update Gitea configuration: 
    sudo nano /etc/gitea/app.ini
    Add or update: 
    [server]
PROTOCOL = https
DOMAIN = mydomainname.com
ROOT_URL = https://mydomainname.com/
CERT_FILE = /etc/letsencrypt/live/mydomainname.com/fullchain.pem
KEY_FILE = /etc/letsencrypt/live/mydomainname.com/privkey.pem
  6. Restart Gitea: 
    sudo systemctl start gitea
