I am using gitea latest image. It used Postgres DB (using the latest postgress image).
As part of automation, I need to create an admin account using Gitea rest API. I have tried the below API. But It is not working.
https:///user/sign_up
Please help me at the earliest as its a showstopper issue for my development.
https://try.gitea.io/api/swagger#/admin/adminCreateUser
Above will work once the git admin is user is created. Above wont work if there is no admin user.
My requirement is that I need to create a admin user once the Gitea is launched.
Plesae help how to creaate a new admin user in Gitea once its launched using API.
Rather than using the API, you could use the CLI https://docs.gitea.io/en-us/command-line/#admin
Also note: the first user that signs up for Gitea instance is the admin
package main
import (
"fmt"
"strings"
"net/http"
"io/ioutil"
)
func main() {
url := "http://localhost:3000/user/sign_up"
payload := strings.NewReader("user_name=blub&email=blub%40bla.bla&password=dsklfjaskjfKAKLJSAKDJ1827.&retype=dsklfjaskjfKAKLJSAKDJ1827.")
req, _ := http.NewRequest("POST", url, payload)
req.Header.Add("cookie", "lang=en-US; i_like_gitea=8e2779a79e7d3e28; _csrf=uBwdvQ2EKSS69kVzPIGOPI1OmoU6MTU5NDMxMTk2NzA1ODIxMjgzNw")
req.Header.Add("content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded")
res, _ := http.DefaultClient.Do(req)
defer res.Body.Close()
body, _ := ioutil.ReadAll(res.Body)
fmt.Println(res)
fmt.Println(string(body))
}
or a simple curl
curl --request POST \
--url http://localhost:3000/user/sign_up \
--header 'content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \
--cookie 'lang=en-US; i_like_gitea=8e2779a79e7d3e28; _csrf=uBwdvQ2EKSS69kVzPIGOPI1OmoU6MTU5NDMxMTk2NzA1ODIxMjgzNw' \
--data user_name=blub \
--data email=blub@bla.bla \
--data password=dsklfjaskjfKAKLJSAKDJ1827. \
--data retype=dsklfjaskjfKAKLJSAKDJ1827.
and as @techknowlogick said, the first user is always the admin.
Hi buddyspencer,
I have tried above curl command. But am getting below HTML response and not created the git credentials.
As its a showstopper for my development, could you help me on the same.
I am using below curl command
curl --request POST --url <> --header ‘content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded’ --cookie ‘lang=en-US; i_like_gitea=8e2779a79e7d3e28; _csrf=uBwdvQ2EKSS69kVzPIGOPI1OmoU6MTU5NDMxMTk2NzA1ODIxMjgzNw’ --data user_name=gituser9 --data email=gituser9@git.com --data password=gituser9 --data retype=gituser9

You can skip the cookie part in the curl command. When I try to create an admin user with the credentials you put there I get the error that the password isn’t complex enough.
curl --request POST --url http://localhost:3000/user/sign_up --header 'content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' --data user_name=gituser9 --data email=gituser9@git.com --data password=Gituser9_ --data retype=Gituser9_
this would work for example.
The initial setup is done?
