1. my error message was “This account is currently not available.”
2. I create user with this options:

```auto
adduser --system --group --disabled-password --home /etc/gitea gitea

```

without any shell.  
The right way is:

```auto
adduser --system --shell /bin/bash --group --disabled-password --home /etc/gitea gitea

```

Thats why i can’t get via ssh.
