Enabling Gogs as a service

All scripts you need are under gogs/scripts.

$ cd /etc/init.d
$ sudo cp /home/git/gogs/scripts/init/debian/gogs .

Modify it as you need, then

$ cd /etc/systemd/system
$ sudo cp /home/git/gogs/scripts/systemd/gogs.service

Then modify it to set which database you are using. At this point just:

$ sudo su -
$ service gogs start
$ systemctl enable gogs.service
