Updating gitea

I have a Gitea instance to host some of my code and to rebuild this website using a post-receive hook. One of the main advantages of using Gitea instead of some other software is that it comes as a single executable. This makes it installing and updating it a breeze.

I found this script through a Google search that automates the download and updating of the Gitea binary. I have minimally modified it to fit my needs and now everything works nicely.

Here is the complete script in case the upstream repo goes down:

#!/bin/bash

VERSION=1.12.2

DIR=/usr/local
ARCH=linux-amd64

echo

echo -e "        _ _  "
echo -e "   __ _(_) |_ ___  __ _ "
echo -e "  / _\` | | __/ _ \/ _\` |"
echo -e " | (_| | | ||  __/ (_| |"
echo -e "  \__, |_|\__\___|\__,_|"
echo -e "  |___/ Git with a cup of tea"
echo

echo
echo -e "Update of gitea to ${VERSION} is in progress..."
echo
echo -e "DIR=$DIR \nARCH=$ARCH"

echo -e "\nLatest versions of gitea:\n"

# edit when v2 comes out
curl -s https://dl.gitea.io/gitea/ | grep '<a href\=\"\/gitea/1' | cut -d"/" -f3 | sort --version-sort | tail -n 5

if [ -f $DIR/bin/gitea-$VERSION-$ARCH ]; then

    echo -e "\nVersion ${VERSION} is already downloaded!\n"

else

    echo -e "\nNewer version ${VERSION} is available!\n"

    echo -e "Downloading the newest version..."
    wget -N https://dl.gitea.io/gitea/$VERSION/gitea-$VERSION-$ARCH -P $DIR/bin/

    echo -e "\nCreating symlinks..."
    ln -sfv $DIR/bin/gitea-$VERSION-$ARCH $DIR/gitea

    echo -e "\nFixing permissions..."
    chmod -v +x $DIR/bin/gitea-$VERSION-$ARCH

    echo -e "\nRestarting service..."
    service gitea restart

fi

echo -e "\nGitea service status:\n"
service gitea status

echo -e "\nHave a nice day :)\n"
