Document creating the admin user about gogs-formula HOT 4 CLOSED

Indeed, it would be a good idea to document this.

I just installed Gogs via your formula, and i have the login page, but have no idea what the admin user/password are.

From what i gather, the INSTALL_LOCK variable in app.ini should be set to False so post-install you can setup and configure the admin user?

@sofixa yeah pretty much. The following is a full list of steps you can follow:

• set the gogs config directory to be world writable so the installer can write to it:

chmod 777 /etc/gogs/

• edit the /etc/gogs/app.ini file to enable the installer:

30c30
< INSTALL_LOCK = true
---
> INSTALL_LOCK = false

• browse to http://<hostname>/install to run the installer and set up an admin account.
• reset the gogs config directory to correct permissions:

chmod 755 /etc/gogs/

• run salt again to reconfigure the /etc/gogs/app.ini file:

salt-call state.apply --output-diff

Now I think about it the formula should probably handle re-setting the correct directory permissions. I'll have a look at fixing that up.

Alternatively you could manually create the admin user by inserting a new row in the user table in the database. Some details on this can be found in the following puppet gogs modules:
