Hi,
I intended to install Gogs on my Odroid C2, but it is not listed in the available software list and I have found one post suggesting it might not be available for this specific board.
Is that so?
If so, why? and dhould I be able to install it in my own or the C2 is fundamentally incompatible with Gogs for some reason?
My interest in Gogs is that I am looking for the lightest Git alternative that I could find, and I´m under the impression that it is much lighter than Gitea.
Any insights will be appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi,
you could run following to check if a software title is available or blocked for your device
```nohighlight
dietpi-software list | grep gogs
```
Of course you are free to install it manually yourself.

Hi,
ok, that outputs …
> gogs: personal github server with web interface | +git +mariadb disabled for aarch64 | \> [https://dietpi.com/forum/t/dietpi-software-details-for-all-installation-options/22/66](https://dietpi.com/forum/t/dietpi-software-details-for-all-installation-options/22/66)
…which confirms it is not available for this specific arch.
I’m curious as to why though, so I can asses if it is something I can eventually resolve or it is plain impossible with this board.
Thanks.

probably due to aarch64 architecture. I guess MichaIng knows why it’s disabled.

Yes there were no ARMv8 binaries available until just the very last release: [https://github.com/gogs/gogs/releases/](https://github.com/gogs/gogs/releases/)
😃 I’ll implement/enable it tomorrow for next release, you should be able to apply the changes manually then.
EDIT: Fix on the way: [https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/3922](https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/3922)
Since the file names have been reasonably standardised, sadly a one-liner fix is not that easy, although the following would work:
Remove this line to enable it for ARMv8: [https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/3922/files#diff-98445566b948cc76bb45181ccd463ee93a7a441dbc8b25763d1b88f05f4ef8c5L1015](https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/3922/files#diff-98445566b948cc76bb45181ccd463ee93a7a441dbc8b25763d1b88f05f4ef8c5L1015)
Replace the URL in the very first fallback\_url: [https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/3922/files#diff-98445566b948cc76bb45181ccd463ee93a7a441dbc8b25763d1b88f05f4ef8c5L5224](https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/3922/files#diff-98445566b948cc76bb45181ccd463ee93a7a441dbc8b25763d1b88f05f4ef8c5L5224)
with: [https://github.com/gogs/gogs/releases/download/v0.12.3/gogs\_0.12.3\_linux\_armv8.tar.gz](https://github.com/gogs/gogs/releases/download/v0.12.3/gogs_0.12.3_linux_armv8.tar.gz)
which is the currently latest (and only) ARMv8 build.

hey there, thanks a Ton for the help.
I had noticed the newly released ARMv8 build and was looking at attempting to install it somehow, but I’m much happier following your advice!
I’ll come back once I had made some progress.
Regards.

Alright!! I think I got it running already!! Thank you @MichaIng for the help 😃
what I did, although probably not exactly what you had in mind, was to get the git version of dietpi-software and run it locally to install Gogs. Then I followed the instructions provided in DietPi’ s website
[https://dietpi.com/forum/t/dietpi-software-details-for-all-installation-options/22/66](https://dietpi.com/forum/t/dietpi-software-details-for-all-installation-options/22/66)
to configure Gogs.
The only thing that I had to tweak was that the pass for the “gogs” user in mysql/mariadb was not set up as “dietpi” as the instructions state (\*) . I went around this by changing the db user at the console and used the new “known” password for the web installer.
_(\*) Now that I think about it the pass was probably the “global” one that DietPi allows us to setup when configuring a fresh instance…hmmm, I should have thought that earlier 🤔 …_
Anyway, it is running now! Wohoo!
Now I just have to learn to use it so I can tell if I got it running _properly_ too with this maneuvering 😛
Thank you again!
Cheers.

Yes usually global application password is used. Can you link the website you found incorrect information on. I will go to correct it.

Hi,
this post in DietPi’ s forum was my reference…:
[https://dietpi.com/forum/t/dietpi-software-details-for-all-installation-options/22/66](https://dietpi.com/forum/t/dietpi-software-details-for-all-installation-options/22/66)
… but I got there not by searching the forum but by going from the home page at www. [dietpi.com](http://dietpi.com) → Features → DietPi Software → Gogs → How do I use this software?

ok changed. I added as well
- Database = MySQL
on my test it was set to PostgreSQL as default

You are correct, PostgreSQL was pre-selected in my case too, but I checked the installed software and confirmed only mysql was installed.
