I can confirm it works on my Ubuntu 14.04 x64.

Ahh finally. Spent all day trying to get this to work with Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and this did the charm.. thanks a lot!

Hello, I tested it on raspbian with Gogs from source, based on Go 1.4.2.
I do the followings steps :

• create a symbolic link : sudo ln -s /home/git/go/src/github.com/gogits/gogs/gogs /usr/sbin/gogs
• create the init.d script : sudo nano /etc/init.d/gogs
• paste your script, setting the DIR variable with : DIR=/home/git/go/src/github.com/gogits/gogs/
• set the correct mod : sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/gogs
• test it sudo service gogs start

And it works! I spent 2 nights on it, and you saved my next one with the export USER HOME.
Thanks a lot 😃

@nioc Thanks for saving my night! Works without any modification on Ubuntu 14.04 installed from source.

It works for Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS (installed in AWS - Amazon)

Thank you!!!

Thanks @nioc you got it working with the points you have mentioned. (y) I am running it on pi3
