LXC Container Deployment Guide

Overview

Run Gitea Mirror in an isolated LXC container:

  1. Proxmox VE (Recommended) – Using the community-maintained script
  2. Local Development – Using the local LXC script for testing

1. Proxmox VE Installation (Recommended)

Prerequisites

  • Proxmox VE host with internet access
  • Root shell access on the Proxmox node

One-command install

# Community-maintained script from the Proxmox VE Community Scripts project
bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/community-scripts/ProxmoxVE/main/ct/gitea-mirror.sh)"

What the script does:

  • Creates a privileged Alpine Linux LXC container
  • Installs Bun runtime environment
  • Clones the Gitea Mirror repository
  • Builds the application
  • Configures a systemd service for automatic startup
  • Sets up the application to run on port 4321
  • Generates a secure JWT_SECRET automatically

Accessing Gitea Mirror:

http://<container-ip>:4321

Additional Information:

2. Local testing (LXD on a workstation, works offline)

Prerequisites

  • lxd installed (sudo apt install lxd; lxd init --auto)
  • Your repo cloned locally – e.g. ~/Development/gitea-mirror
  • Bun ZIP downloaded once: https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/releases/latest/download/bun-linux-x64.zip

Offline installer script

git clone https://github.com/RayLabsHQ/gitea-mirror.git   # if not already
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/raylabshq/gitea-mirror:/main/scripts/gitea-mirror-lxc-local.sh -o gitea-mirror-lxc-local.sh
chmod +x gitea-mirror-lxc-local.sh

sudo LOCAL_REPO_DIR=~/Development/gitea-mirror \
     ./gitea-mirror-lxc-local.sh

What it does:

  • Launches privileged LXC gitea-test (lxc launch ubuntu:22.04 ...)
  • Pushes Bun ZIP + tarred local repo into /opt
  • Unpacks, builds, initializes DB
  • Symlinks both bun and bunx → /usr/local/bin
  • Creates a root systemd unit and starts it

Access from host:

http://$(lxc exec gitea-test -- hostname -I | awk '{print $1}'):4321

(Optional) forward to host localhost:

sudo lxc config device add gitea-test mirror proxy \
  listen=tcp:0.0.0.0:4321 connect=tcp:127.0.0.1:4321

Health-check endpoint

Gitea Mirror includes a built-in health check endpoint at /api/health that provides:

  • System status and uptime
  • Database connectivity check
  • Memory usage statistics
  • Environment information

You can use this endpoint for monitoring your deployment:

# Basic check (returns 200 OK if healthy)
curl -I http://<container-ip>:4321/api/health

# Detailed health information (JSON)
curl http://<container-ip>:4321/api/health

Troubleshooting

Check Command
Service status systemctl status gitea-mirror
Live logs journalctl -u gitea-mirror -f
Verify Bun bun --version && bunx --version
DB perms chown -R root:root /opt/gitea-mirror/data (Proxmox)

Connecting LXC and Docker Containers

If you need your LXC container to communicate with Docker containers:

  1. On your host machine, create a bridge network:

    docker network create gitea-network

  2. Find the bridge interface created by Docker:

    ip a | grep docker
# Look for something like docker0 or br-xxxxxxxx

  3. In Proxmox, edit the LXC container's network configuration to use this bridge.
