This was intended to be a small followup for https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/23712, but...here we are. 1. Our docs currently use `slug` as the entire URL, which makes refactoring tricky (see https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/23712). Instead, this PR attempts to make future refactoring easier by using slugs as an extension of the section. (Hugo terminology) - What the above boils down to is this PR attempts to use directory organization as URL management. e.g. `usage/comparison.en-us.md` -> `en-us/usage/comparison/`, `usage/packages/overview.en-us.md` -> `en-us/usage/packages/overview/` - Technically we could even remove `slug`, as Hugo defaults to using filename, however at least with this PR it means `slug` only needs to be the name for the **current file** rather than an entire URL 2. This PR adds appropriate aliases (redirects) for pages, so anything on the internet that links to our docs should hopefully not break. 3. A minor nit I've had for a while, renaming `seek-help` to `support`. It's a minor thing, but `seek-help` has a strange connotation to it. 4. The commits are split such that you can review the first which is the "actual" change, and the second is added redirects so that the first doesn't break links elsewhere. --------- Signed-off-by: jolheiser <john.olheiser@gmail.com>

# Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
The following changes are made in C:\gitea\custom\conf\app.ini:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
RUN_USER = COMPUTERNAME$
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Sets Gitea to run as the local system user.
|
|
|
|
COMPUTERNAME is whatever the response is from `echo %COMPUTERNAME%` on the command line. If the response is `USER-PC` then `RUN_USER = USER-PC$`
|
|
|
|
## Use absolute paths
|
|
|
|
If you use SQLite3, change the `PATH` to include the full path:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
[database]
|
|
PATH = c:/gitea/data/gitea.db
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
# Register as a Windows Service
|
|
|
|
To register Gitea as a Windows service, open a command prompt (cmd) as an Administrator,
|
|
then run the following command:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sc.exe create gitea start= auto binPath= "\"C:\gitea\gitea.exe\" web --config \"C:\gitea\custom\conf\app.ini\""
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Do not forget to replace `C:\gitea` with the correct Gitea directory.
|
|
|
|
Open "Windows Services", search for the service named "gitea", right-click it and click on
|
|
"Run". If everything is OK, Gitea will be reachable on `http://localhost:3000` (or the port
|
|
that was configured).
|
|
|
|
## Adding startup dependencies
|
|
|
|
To add a startup dependency to the Gitea Windows service (eg Mysql, Mariadb), as an Administrator, then run the following command:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sc.exe config gitea depend= mariadb
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will ensure that when the Windows machine restarts, the automatic starting of Gitea is postponed until the database is ready and thus mitigate failed startups.
|
|
|
|
## Unregister as a service
|
|
|
|
To unregister Gitea as a service, open a command prompt (cmd) as an Administrator and run:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sc.exe delete gitea
|
|
```
