# Forgejo
Community-driven code forge platform similar to GitHub.<br/>
Forked from [Gitea] after the for-profit company Gitea Ltd took control of it.
1. [TL;DR](#tldr)
1. [Further readings](#further-readings)

## TL;DR
<details>
<summary>Setup</summary>
```sh
docker pull 'codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo' # or 'data.forgejo.org/forgejo/forgejo'
```
The configuration uses the INI format.<br/>
When installing from a distribution, the configuration file will _typically_ be placed at `/etc/forgejo/app.ini`.<br/>
When using the container image, the configuration file is automatically created if it does not already exist.<br/>
Refer the [configuration cheat sheet] and the [configuration file defaults].
Values containing `#` or `;` must be quoted using `` ` `` or `"""`.
> [!important]
> Forgejo requires a **full** restart for configuration changes to take effect.
Configuration values can be _**added**_ or _**overridden**_ by setting environment variables that follow the
`FORGEJO__[SECTION]__[KEY]` format.<br/>
The `DEFAULT` section of the configuration should be an empty string.
<details style='padding: 0 0 1rem 1rem'>
Setting environment variables as follows:
```sh
FORGEJO____APP_NAME=Frogejo 🐸
FORGEJO__repository__ENABLE_PUSH_CREATE_USER=true
```
is equivalent to adding the following to the `app.ini` configuration file:
```ini
APP_NAME=Frogejo 🐸
[repository]
ENABLE_PUSH_CREATE_USER = true
```
</details>
Existing configuration values must be _**removed**_ by editing the configuration file.
> [!important]
> Using SELinux environments could trigger issues with containers.<br/>
> Check the audit logs in this case.
