# Installation with Docker (rootless)
Gitea provides automatically updated Docker images within its Docker Hub organization. It is
possible to always use the latest stable tag or to use another service that handles updating
Docker images.
## Relation to rootful image
The rootless image uses Gitea internal SSH to provide Git protocol and doesn't support OpenSSH.
* Rootless image doesn't require "root" privilege on the host, while it may have stricter UID/GID requirement.
* Rootless image must use its bulitin SSH server, while the rootful one must its managed standalone OpenSSH server.
* The volume mapping and directory layout is different between them.
This reference setup guides users through the setup based on `docker-compose`, but the installation
of `docker-compose` is out of scope of this documentation. To install `docker-compose` itself, follow
the official [install instructions](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/).
Except the differences above, the rootless image shares the same mechanism with rootful image,
including: port mapping, custimzation, upgrading, environment variables, etc.
Read more in "[Installation with Docker (rootful)](./with-docker.md)"
ATTENTION: the rootful/rootless images are not compatible with the other.
If you have chosen one, you should always use the same one,
don't switch to the other one by changing the compose file's `image` value.

```
For a stable release you could use `:latest-rootless`, `:1-rootless` or specify a certain release like `:@dockerVersion@-rootless`, but if you'd like to use the latest development version then `:nightly-rootless` would be an appropriate tag. If you'd like to run the latest commit from a release branch you can use the `:1.x-nightly-rootless` tag, where x is the minor version of Gitea. (e.g. `:1.16-nightly-rootless`)
## Custom port
To bind the integrated ssh and the webserver on a different port, adjust
the port section. It's common to just change the host port and keep the ports within
the container like they are.

## Startup
:::note
From July 2023 Compose V1 stopped receiving updates. It's also no longer available in new releases of Docker Desktop.
Compose V2 is included with all currently supported versions of Docker Desktop. Please use V2 to do below operations.
:::
To start this setup based on `docker-compose`, execute `docker-compose up -d`,
to launch Gitea in the background. Using `docker-compose ps` will show if Gitea
started properly. Logs can be viewed with `docker-compose logs`.
To shut down the setup, execute `docker-compose down`. This will stop
and kill the containers. The volumes will still exist.
:::note
If using a non-3000 port on http, change app.ini to match
`LOCAL_ROOT_URL = http://localhost:3000/`.
:::
## Install
After starting the Docker setup via `docker-compose`, Gitea should be available using a
favorite browser to finalize the installation. Visit http://server-ip:3000 and follow the
installation wizard. If the database was started with the `docker-compose` setup as
documented above, please note that `db` must be used as the database hostname.
## Customization
Customization files described [here](../administration/customizing-gitea.md) should
be placed in `/var/lib/gitea/custom` directory. If using host volumes, it's quite easy to access these
files; for named volumes, this is done through another container or by direct access at
`/var/lib/docker/volumes/gitea_gitea/_/var_lib_gitea`. The configuration file will be saved at
`/etc/gitea/app.ini` after the installation.
## Upgrading
:::warning
:exclamation::exclamation: **Make sure you have volumed data to somewhere outside Docker container** :exclamation::exclamation:
:::
To upgrade your installation to the latest release:
```bash
# Edit `docker-compose.yml` to update the version, if you have one specified
# Pull new images
docker-compose pull
# Start a new container, automatically removes old one
docker-compose up -d
```
## Upgrading from standard image
- Backup your setup
- Change volume mountpoint from /data to /var/lib/gitea
- If you used a custom app.ini move it to a new volume mounted to /etc/gitea
- Rename folder (inside volume) gitea to custom
- Edit app.ini if needed
- Set START_SSH_SERVER = true
- Use image docker.gitea.com/gitea:@dockerVersion@-rootless
## Managing Deployments With Environment Variables
In addition to the environment variables above, any settings in `app.ini` can be set
or overridden with an environment variable of the form: `GITEA__<section>__<KEY>`.
These settings are applied each time the docker container starts, and won't be passed into Gitea's sub-processes.
These environment variables can be passed to the docker container in `docker-compose.yml`.
The following example will enable a smtp mail server if the required env variables
`GITEA__mailer__FROM`, `GITEA__mailer__HOST`, `GITEA__mailer__PASSWD` are set on the host
or in a `.env` file in the same directory as `docker-compose.yml`.
The settings can be also set or overridden with the content of a file by defining an environment variable of the form:
`GITEA__section_name__KEY_NAME__FILE` that points to a file.
```bash
...
services:
server:
environment:
- GITEA__mailer__ENABLED=true
- GITEA__mailer__FROM=${GITEA__mailer__FROM:?GITEA__mailer__FROM not set}
- GITEA__mailer__PROTOCOL=smtp
- GITEA__mailer__HOST=${GITEA__mailer__HOST:?GITEA__mailer__HOST not set}
- GITEA__mailer__IS_TLS_ENABLED=true
- GITEA__mailer__USER=${GITEA__mailer__USER:-apikey}
- GITEA__mailer__PASSWD="""${GITEA__mailer__PASSWD:?GITEA__mailer__PASSWD not set}"""
```
To set required TOKEN and SECRET values, consider using Gitea's built-in [generate utility functions](../administration/command-line.md#generate).

### SSH with multiple IP addresses
This assumes that the host machine has more than one reachable IP address: `192.168.1.1` (host) `192.168.1.2` (gitea)
On the host machine, configure SSHD in `/etc/ssh/sshd_config` to listen on one IP address `ListenAddress 192.168.1.1`. In the compose file the SSH port forwarding then needs to be changed to `"192.168.1.2:22:22"`. The port forwarding needs to be adjusted similarily for all other forwarded ports to avoid problems with DNS.

## Managing Deployments With Environment Variables
In addition to the environment variables above, any settings in `app.ini` can be set
or overridden with an environment variable of the form: `GITEA__SECTION_NAME__KEY_NAME`.
These settings are applied each time the docker container starts, and won't be passed into Gitea's sub-processes.

See `./gitea config edit-ini --help` for more details.

### SSH with multiple IP addresses
This assumes that the host machine has more than one reachable IP address: `192.168.1.1` (host) `192.168.1.2` (gitea)
On the host machine, configure SSHD in `/etc/ssh/sshd_config` to listen on one IP address `ListenAddress 192.168.1.1`. In the compose file the SSH port forwarding then needs to be changed to `"192.168.1.2:22:22"`. The port forwarding needs to be adjusted similarily for all other forwarded ports to avoid problems with DNS.
