If you're like me and were staring at Gitea's web site thinking, "dang, how do I run this as a daemon," Gogs (from which Gitea forked) has a nice page on doing this: https://gogs.io/docs/intro/faqs.html

[plaes]

Um.. On the front page - "Simply run the binary [1] for your platform"

[1] https://docs.gitea.io/en-us/install-from-binary/

"as a daemon".

The link shows how to run the app, not how to run it as a daemon. That said, the answer is platform specific, although it would be useful to have some common examples.

I found this page useful when setting up Gogs as a Windows service:

You tell your service manager to run the binary?

Adding to the sibling comment, Gogs is not a Gitea fork. Gitea is a Gogs fork, because of the single-maintainer model of Gogs.
