Forgejo

[timconsidine]

I packaged Forgejo.
My git repo : https://git.cloudron.io/timconsidine/cloudron-forgejo

not added to CCAI catalogue yet

[girish]

@timconsidine can you throw in a license? I literally just moved to gitea from gogs but maybe I will move to forgejo...

[timconsidine]

@girish oops yes I will put a licence this morning

I find gitea UI a touch dated but it’s a git tool so most interactions via terminal or script, so maybe it doesn’t matter.

But Forgejo seems a touch fresher

[timconsidine]

LICENSE added, in sync with Forgejo

@timconsidine

Well done, Tim! Excellent work.

I used to think being on Gogs was leading edge. I think I shall have to try moving over to Forgejo like girish.

[girish]

I think LICENSE file change was may be not pushed.

I am thinking we should keep the gitea package and forgejo package mostly in sync. The current forgejo package misses openssh server+exposing the port, creating default admin user, oidc integration, email etc. Maybe all these bits can be copied from the gitea package (which in turn copied from gogs package).

[timconsidine]

Strange, let me look into it.

[timconsidine]

push of LICENCE to git was skipped - bizarre - force pushed now

investigating other comments

@girish my deployed Forgejo is reporting :

Powered by Forgejo Version: 14.0.1+gitea-1.22.0

I read this as meaning it is already pulling in Gitea features ... or actually it's not pulling the Gitea features you mentioned ?

EDIT :. my AI says features available but I need to improve my package

[girish]

@timconsidine sorry, wasn't clear. What I meant is the package has to be updated to support the various things (which are in the gitea package already):

• https://git.cloudron.io/packages/gitea-app/-/blob/master/CloudronManifest.json?ref_type=heads#L22 . This makes "git clone" work
• sshd integration - https://git.cloudron.io/packages/gitea-app/-/tree/master/supervisor?ref_type=heads . Required for the "git clone" as well
• setup default user - https://git.cloudron.io/packages/gitea-app/-/blob/master/start.sh?ref_type=heads#L18
• setup oidc - https://git.cloudron.io/packages/gitea-app/-/blob/master/start.sh?ref_type=heads#L8
• mailer setup - https://git.cloudron.io/packages/gitea-app/-/blob/master/start.sh?ref_type=heads#L109

Probably missing others... but my note was generally to get the package in sync with gitea one. AFAIK gitea and forgejo deploy very similarly since they only recently forked.

I can do this tomorrow as well but wanted to leave a note in case you wanted to do it.

[timconsidine]

@girish thank you

I was not aware - I thought they were in sync - was probably rushing too much or jumping to conclusions. Will look into it. You will do a better job, I'm sure, but I will see if I can manage it - good experience (hopefully).

@girish I have made changes :

SSH :

• Manifest : Added tcpPorts.SSH_PORT (default 29418) to CloudronManifest.json . This tells Cloudron to open the firewall.
• Start Script : Configured SSH_PORT and SSH_LISTEN_PORT in start.sh to match the manifest.

OIDC (SSO) :

• Manifest : Added oidc addon to CloudronManifest.json .
• Start Script : Added setup_oidc function in start.sh which injects the OIDC configuration directly into the database ( login_source table) and enables OIDC in app.ini .

Admin User :

• Start Script : Added setup_admin function in start.sh . It checks if the user count is 0, and if so, creates a default admin user with a known password.

SMTP (Email) :

• Manifest : Added sendmail addon to CloudronManifest.json .
• Start Script : Configured [mailer] section in app.ini using Cloudron's environment variables ( CLOUDRON_MAIL_SMTP_SERVER , etc.).

Pushed v1.0.1 to git.cloudron.io/timconsidine/cloudron-forgejo

Once less job for you @girish, or hopefully less for you to fix

[girish]

@timconsidine awesome! setup_admin is missing, maybe you forgot to push? In bash, you can do set -eu at the top and this will make missing things error properly. git clone via ssh also doesn't work but I can debug that once you have pushed everything.

[timconsidine]

@girish hmmm, seems my commit / push is not working fully. It's probably a gremlin here because I push to my private repo and also to git.cloudron.io.

Investigating ...

[timconsidine]

@girish

• I have pushed a commit to git.cloudron.io (it was my IDE git setup only pushing to one repo and I was too dozey to notice)
• tested git clone ssh://git@git.cloudron.io:6000/xxx/xxx from a repo on my git.cloudron.io to a temp directory : no password prompt, tested clone success by ls of temp directory
• did not try ssh git push but I assumed it will work if the git clone ssh://git@git.cloudron.io:6000/xxx/xxx worked

[girish]

@timconsidine I am taking it forward here https://git.cloudron.io/packages/forgejo-app

[timconsidine]

@girish great ! hope my package was helpful start

[nebulon]
