Major changes:
1. Serve "robots.txt" and ".well-known/security.txt" in the "public"
custom path
* All files in "public/.well-known" can be served, just like
"public/assets"
3. Add a test for ".well-known/security.txt"
4. Simplify the "FileHandlerFunc" logic, now the paths are consistent so
the code can be simpler
5. Add CORS header for ".well-known" endpoints
6. Add logs to tell users they should move some of their legacy custom
public files

And there are many new tests to cover the CLI behavior
There were some concerns about the "option order in hook scripts"
(https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/10912#issuecomment-1137543314),
it's not a problem now. Because the hook script uses `/gitea hook
--config=/app.ini pre-receive` format. The "config" is a global option,
it can appear anywhere.
----
## ⚠️ BREAKING ⚠️
This PR does it best to avoid breaking anything. The major changes are:
* `gitea` itself won't accept web's options: `--install-port` / `--pid`
/ `--port` / `--quiet` / `--verbose` .... They are `web` sub-command's
options.
* Use `./gitea web --pid ....` instead
* `./gitea` can still run the `web` sub-command as shorthand, with
default options
* The sub-command's options must follow the sub-command
* Before: `./gitea --sub-opt subcmd` might equal to `./gitea subcmd
--sub-opt` (well, might not ...)
* After: only `./gitea subcmd --sub-opt` could be used
* The global options like `--config` are not affected
After RPM is supported with https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/23380

Move `public/*` to `public/assets/*`
Some old PRs (like #15219) introduced inconsistent directory system.
For example: why the local directory "public" is accessed by
`http://site/assets`? How to serve the ".well-known" files properly in
the public directory?
For convention rules, the "public" directory is widely used for the
website's root directory. It shouldn't be an exception for Gitea.
So, this PR makes the things consistent:
* `http://site/assets/foo` means `{CustomPath}/public/assets/foo`.
* `{CustomPath}/public/.well-known` and `{CustomPath}/public/robots.txt`
can be used in the future.
This PR is also a prerequisite for a clear solution for:
* #21942
* #25892
* discourse.gitea.io: [.well-known path serving custom files behind
proxy?](https://discourse.gitea.io/t/well-known-path-serving-custom-files-behind-proxy/5445/1)
This PR is breaking for users who have custom "public" files (CSS/JS).
After getting approvals, I will update the documents.

## ⚠️ BREAKING ⚠️
If you have files in your "custom/public/" folder, please move them to
"custom/public/assets/".

Replace #25580Fix#19453
The problem was: when users set "GITEA__XXX__YYY" , the "install page"
doesn't respect it.
So, to make the result consistent and avoid surprising end users, now
the "install page" also writes the environment variables to the config
file.
And, to make things clear, there are enough messages on the UI to tell
users what will happen.
There are some necessary/related changes to `environment-to-ini.go`:
* The "--clear" flag is removed and it was incorrectly written there.
The "clear" operation should be done if INSTALL_LOCK=true
* The "--prefix" flag is removed because it's never used, never
documented and it only causes inconsistent behavior.

## ⚠️ BREAKING ⚠️
Before this, `DEFAULT_ACTIONS_URL` cound be set to any custom URLs like
`https://gitea.com` or `http://your-git-server,https://gitea.com`, and
the default value was `https://gitea.com`.
But now, `DEFAULT_ACTIONS_URL` supports only
`github`(`https://github.com`) or `self`(the root url of current Gitea
instance), and the default value is `github`.
If it has configured with a URL, an error log will be displayed and it
will fallback to `github`.
Actually, what we really want to do is always make it
`https://github.com`, however, this may not be acceptable for some
instances of internal use, so there's extra support for `self`, but no
more, even `https://gitea.com`.
Please note that `uses: https://xxx/yyy/zzz` always works and it does
exactly what it is supposed to do.
Although it's breaking, I belive it should be backported to `v1.20` due
to some security issues.
Follow-up on the runner side:

Refactor `modules/indexer` to make it more maintainable. And it can be
easier to support more features. I'm trying to solve some of issue
searching, this is a precursor to making functional changes.
Current supported engines and the index versions:
| engines | issues | code |
| - | - | - |
| db | Just a wrapper for database queries, doesn't need version | - |
| bleve | The version of index is **2** | The version of index is **6**
|
| elasticsearch | The old index has no version, will be treated as
version **0** in this PR | The version of index is **1** |
| meilisearch | The old index has no version, will be treated as version
**0** in this PR | - |
## Changes
### Split
Splited it into mutiple packages
```text
indexer
├── internal
│ ├── bleve
│ ├── db
│ ├── elasticsearch
│ └── meilisearch
├── code
│ ├── bleve
│ ├── elasticsearch
│ └── internal
└── issues
├── bleve
├── db
├── elasticsearch
├── internal
└── meilisearch
```
- `indexer/interanal`: Internal shared package for indexer.
- `indexer/interanal/[engine]`: Internal shared package for each engine
(bleve/db/elasticsearch/meilisearch).
- `indexer/code`: Implementations for code indexer.
- `indexer/code/internal`: Internal shared package for code indexer.
- `indexer/code/[engine]`: Implementation via each engine for code
indexer.
- `indexer/issues`: Implementations for issues indexer.
### Deduplication
- Combine `Init/Ping/Close` for code indexer and issues indexer.
- ~Combine `issues.indexerHolder` and `code.wrappedIndexer` to
`internal.IndexHolder`.~ Remove it, use dummy indexer instead when the
indexer is not ready.
- Duplicate two copies of creating ES clients.
- Duplicate two copies of `indexerID()`.
### Enhancement
- [x] Support index version for elasticsearch issues indexer, the old
index without version will be treated as version 0.
- [x] Fix spell of `elastic_search/ElasticSearch`, it should be
`Elasticsearch`.
- [x] Improve versioning of ES index. We don't need `Aliases`:
- Gitea does't need aliases for "Zero Downtime" because it never delete
old indexes.
- The old code of issues indexer uses the orignal name to create issue
index, so it's tricky to convert it to an alias.
- [x] Support index version for meilisearch issues indexer, the old
index without version will be treated as version 0.
- [x] Do "ping" only when `Ping` has been called, don't ping
periodically and cache the status.
- [x] Support the context parameter whenever possible.
- [x] Fix outdated example config.
- [x] Give up the requeue logic of issues indexer: When indexing fails,
call Ping to check if it was caused by the engine being unavailable, and
only requeue the task if the engine is unavailable.
- It is fragile and tricky, could cause data losing (It did happen when
I was doing some tests for this PR). And it works for ES only.
- Just always requeue the failed task, if it caused by bad data, it's a
bug of Gitea which should be fixed.

In modern days, there is no reason to make users set "charset" anymore.
Close#25378
## ⚠️ BREAKING
The key `[database].CHARSET` was removed completely as every newer
(>10years) MySQL database supports `utf8mb4` already.
There is a (deliberately) undocumented new fallback option if anyone
still needs to use it, but we don't recommend using it as it simply
causes problems.
### Summary
Extend the template variable substitution to replace file paths. This
can be helpful for setting up log files & directories that should match
the repository name.
### PR Changes
- Move files matching glob pattern when setting up repos from template
- For security, added ~escaping~ sanitization for cross-platform support
and to prevent directory traversal (thanks @silverwind for the
reference)
- Added unit testing for escaping function
- Fixed the integration tests for repo template generation by passing
the repo_template_id
- Updated the integration testfiles to add some variable substitution &
assert the outputs
I had to fix the existing repo template integration test and extend it
to add a check for variable substitutions.
Example:
In this pull request, the following changes are addressed:
- State user should create `config.yaml` before start container to avoid
errors.
- Provided instructions to deploy runners using docker compose.
So I found this [linter](https://github.com/Riverside-Healthcare/djlint)
which features a mode for go templates, so I gave it a try and it did
find a number of valid issue, like unbalanced tags etc. It also has a
number of bugs, I had to disable/workaround many issues.
Given that this linter is written in python, this does add a dependency
on `python` >= 3.8 and `poetry` to the development environment to be
able to run this linter locally.
- `e.g.` prefixes on placeholders are removed because the linter had a
false-positive on `placeholder="e.g. cn=Search"` for the `attr=value`
syntax and it's not ideal anyways to write `e.g.` into a placeholder
because a placeholder is meant to hold a sample value.
- In `templates/repo/settings/options.tmpl` I simplified the logic to
not conditionally create opening tags without closing tags because this
stuff confuses the linter (and possibly the reader as well).
Follow up #22405Fix#20703
This PR rewrites storage configuration read sequences with some breaks
and tests. It becomes more strict than before and also fixed some
inherit problems.
- Move storage's MinioConfig struct into setting, so after the
configuration loading, the values will be stored into the struct but not
still on some section.
- All storages configurations should be stored on one section,
configuration items cannot be overrided by multiple sections. The
prioioty of configuration is `[attachment]` > `[storage.attachments]` |
`[storage.customized]` > `[storage]` > `default`
- For extra override configuration items, currently are `SERVE_DIRECT`,
`MINIO_BASE_PATH`, `MINIO_BUCKET`, which could be configured in another
section. The prioioty of the override configuration is `[attachment]` >
`[storage.attachments]` > `default`.
- Add more tests for storages configurations.
- Update the storage documentations.

- Enable all source maps in dev build
- Disable all source maps in prod build
- Provide `ENABLE_SOURCEMAP` env var to override it.
I think the strange error seen in
https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/issues/24784 is sourcemap related, so
if we enable/disable them all, it might go away. But it's most
definitely a Safari bug.
With all sourcemaps disabled, binary size goes down by around 1-2 MB,
with all enabled it goes up by around 12MB. If +12MB is acceptable, we
could also always enable them by default as fully source maps do have
some debugging benefits.
If a user starts a runner using a Docker image without making additional
configurations, the [cache action](https://github.com/actions/cache)
will not work properly.
Therefore, add a section in the documentation that explains how to
configure the cache correctly.
## Changes
- Adds the following high level access scopes, each with `read` and
`write` levels:
- `activitypub`
- `admin` (hidden if user is not a site admin)
- `misc`
- `notification`
- `organization`
- `package`
- `issue`
- `repository`
- `user`
- Adds new middleware function `tokenRequiresScopes()` in addition to
`reqToken()`
- `tokenRequiresScopes()` is used for each high-level api section
- _if_ a scoped token is present, checks that the required scope is
included based on the section and HTTP method
- `reqToken()` is used for individual routes
- checks that required authentication is present (but does not check
scope levels as this will already have been handled by
`tokenRequiresScopes()`
- Adds migration to convert old scoped access tokens to the new set of
scopes
- Updates the user interface for scope selection

## tokenRequiresScopes Design Decision
- `tokenRequiresScopes()` was added to more reliably cover api routes.
For an incoming request, this function uses the given scope category
(say `AccessTokenScopeCategoryOrganization`) and the HTTP method (say
`DELETE`) and verifies that any scoped tokens in use include
`delete:organization`.
- `reqToken()` is used to enforce auth for individual routes that
require it. If a scoped token is not present for a request,
`tokenRequiresScopes()` will not return an error
## TODO
- [x] Alphabetize scope categories
- [x] Change 'public repos only' to a radio button (private vs public).
Also expand this to organizations
- [X] Disable token creation if no scopes selected. Alternatively, show
warning
- [x] `reqToken()` is missing from many `POST/DELETE` routes in the api.
`tokenRequiresScopes()` only checks that a given token has the correct
scope, `reqToken()` must be used to check that a token (or some other
auth) is present.
- _This should be addressed in this PR_
- [x] The migration should be reviewed very carefully in order to
minimize access changes to existing user tokens.
- _This should be addressed in this PR_
- [x] Link to api to swagger documentation, clarify what
read/write/delete levels correspond to
- [x] Review cases where more than one scope is needed as this directly
deviates from the api definition.
- _This should be addressed in this PR_
- For example:
```go
m.Group("/users/{username}/orgs", func() {
m.Get("", reqToken(), org.ListUserOrgs)
m.Get("/{org}/permissions", reqToken(), org.GetUserOrgsPermissions)
}, tokenRequiresScopes(auth_model.AccessTokenScopeCategoryUser,
auth_model.AccessTokenScopeCategoryOrganization),
context_service.UserAssignmentAPI())
```
## Future improvements
- [ ] Add required scopes to swagger documentation
- [ ] Redesign `reqToken()` to be opt-out rather than opt-in
- [ ] Subdivide scopes like `repository`
- [ ] Once a token is created, if it has no scopes, we should display
text instead of an empty bullet point
- [ ] If the 'public repos only' option is selected, should read
categories be selected by default

The PKCE flow according to [RFC
7636](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7636) allows for secure
authorization without the requirement to provide a client secret for the
OAuth app.
It is implemented in Gitea since #5378 (v1.8.0), however without being
able to omit client secret.
Since #21316 Gitea supports setting client type at OAuth app
registration.
As public clients are already forced to use PKCE since #21316, in this
PR the client secret check is being skipped if a public client is
detected. As Gitea seems to implement PKCE authorization correctly
according to the spec, this would allow for PKCE flow without providing
a client secret.
Also add some docs for it, please check language as I'm not a native
English speaker.
Closes#17107Closes#25047
It's been disabled by default since 1.17
(https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/18914), and it never really
delivered any benefit except being another cache layer that has its own
unsolved invalidation issues. HTTP cache works, we don't need two cache
layers at the browser for assets.
## ⚠️ BREAKING
You can remove the config `[ui].USE_SERVICE_WORKER` from your `app.ini`
now.
This addressees some things from #24406 that came up after the PR was
merged. Mostly from @delvh.

Changes:
1. Use uniform links types relative to doc folder (start with `doc/`)
2. According to [docusaurus
links](https://docusaurus.io/docs/markdown-features/links), if `<a>` is
used, the `href` is resolved as URL location, but not file location. So
need to use `[text]({{< relref "path" >}})` instead.
As discussed in
https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/24953#issuecomment-1565630156.
## ⚠️ BREAKING ⚠️
1. The `ui.THEME_COLOR_META_TAG` setting has been removed. If you still
need to set the `theme-color` meta tag, add it via
`$GITEA_CUSTOM/templates/custom/header.tmpl` instead.
2. The non-standard `default-theme` meta-tag added in
https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/13809 has been removed. Third
party code that needs to obtain the currently loaded theme should use
the `theme-<name>` class on the `<html>` node instead, which reflect the
currently active theme.
This adds the ability to pin important Issues and Pull Requests. You can
also move pinned Issues around to change their Position. Resolves#2175.
## Screenshots
The Design was mostly copied from the Projects Board.
## Implementation
This uses a new `pin_order` Column in the `issue` table. If the value is
set to 0, the Issue is not pinned. If it's set to a bigger value, the
value is the Position. 1 means it's the first pinned Issue, 2 means it's
the second one etc. This is dived into Issues and Pull requests for each
Repo.
## TODO
- [x] You can currently pin as many Issues as you want. Maybe we should
add a Limit, which is configurable. GitHub uses 3, but I prefer 6, as
this is better for bigger Projects, but I'm open for suggestions.
- [x] Pin and Unpin events need to be added to the Issue history.
- [x] Tests
- [x] Migration
**The feature itself is currently fully working, so tester who may find
weird edge cases are very welcome!**

1. non-dev mode is treated as prod mode, to protect users from
accidentally running in dev mode if there is a typo in this value.
2. in dev mode, do not need to really exit if there are template errors,
because the template errors could be fixed by developer soon and the
templates get reloaded, help:
* https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/issues/24845#issuecomment-1557615382
3. Fine tune the mail template loading message.
The cheat sheet uses the `asciidoc` markup language to demonstrate how
to set up third party markup renderers. The current example has the
following issues:
- It promotes a legacy tool that does not handle modern AsciiDoc
specifications
- It does not account for embedded preview renders
- It has no safety restrictions
By switching to `asciidoctor`, uses are suggested to utilize de
facto/standard tooling for AsciiDoc.
The `--embedded` parameter will strip out HTML tags that contain the
document (such as `<html></html>`) which aren't necessary for the
render, and actually end up as text in the document if left in.
The `--safe-mode` parameter (of which there are several profiles)
imposes [certain
policies](https://docs.asciidoctor.org/asciidoctor/latest/safe-modes/)
on the files it ingests and what the resulting output looks like. GitHub
itself uses the `secure` profile (the highest), which can be a good
starting point for those who are uncertain of what to do. By default, if
no mode is specified when `asciidoctor` runs it defaults to `unsafe`,
i.e. no safety guidelines at all.

Many users have the requirement to customize the git config. This PR
introduces an easy way: put the options in Gitea's app.ini
`[git.config]`, then the config options will be applied to git config.
And it can support more flexible default config values, eg: now
`diff.algorithm=histogram` by default. According to:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/32367597/4754037 , `histogram diff` is
efficient and doesn't like to cause server-side problems.

Use `default_merge_message/REBASE_TEMPLATE.md` for amending the message
of the last commit in the list of commits that was merged. Previously
this template was mentioned in the documentation but not actually used.
In this template additional variables `CommitTitle` and `CommitBody` are
available, for the title and body of the commit.
Ideally the message of every commit would be updated using the template,
but doing an interactive rebase or merging commits one by one is
complicated, so that is left as a future improvement.
Replace #20257 (which is stale and incomplete)
Close#20255
Major changes:
* Deprecate the "WHITELIST", use "ALLOWLIST"
* Add wildcard support for EMAIL_DOMAIN_ALLOWLIST/EMAIL_DOMAIN_BLOCKLIST
* Update example config file and document
* Improve tests
## ⚠️ Breaking
The `log.<mode>.<logger>` style config has been dropped. If you used it,
please check the new config manual & app.example.ini to make your
instance output logs as expected.
Although many legacy options still work, it's encouraged to upgrade to
the new options.
The SMTP logger is deleted because SMTP is not suitable to collect logs.
If you have manually configured Gitea log options, please confirm the
logger system works as expected after upgrading.
## Description
Close#12082 and maybe more log-related issues, resolve some related
FIXMEs in old code (which seems unfixable before)
Just like rewriting queue #24505 : make code maintainable, clear legacy
bugs, and add the ability to support more writers (eg: JSON, structured
log)
There is a new document (with examples): `logging-config.en-us.md`
This PR is safer than the queue rewriting, because it's just for
logging, it won't break other logic.
## The old problems
The logging system is quite old and difficult to maintain:
* Unclear concepts: Logger, NamedLogger, MultiChannelledLogger,
SubLogger, EventLogger, WriterLogger etc
* Some code is diffuclt to konw whether it is right:
`log.DelNamedLogger("console")` vs `log.DelNamedLogger(log.DEFAULT)` vs
`log.DelLogger("console")`
* The old system heavily depends on ini config system, it's difficult to
create new logger for different purpose, and it's very fragile.
* The "color" trick is difficult to use and read, many colors are
unnecessary, and in the future structured log could help
* It's difficult to add other log formats, eg: JSON format
* The log outputer doesn't have full control of its goroutine, it's
difficult to make outputer have advanced behaviors
* The logs could be lost in some cases: eg: no Fatal error when using
CLI.
* Config options are passed by JSON, which is quite fragile.
* INI package makes the KEY in `[log]` section visible in `[log.sub1]`
and `[log.sub1.subA]`, this behavior is quite fragile and would cause
more unclear problems, and there is no strong requirement to support
`log.<mode>.<logger>` syntax.
## The new design
See `logger.go` for documents.

When `<!DOCTYPE html>` is present, the default (and only valid) charset
it `utf-8` so it does not need to be specified.
Also we do serve with HTML with `Content-Type: text/html;
charset=utf-8`, so it is duplicate info anyways.
The current command doesn't work on Fedora/RHEL/CentOS.
- `--gecos`: use `--comment` instead.
- `--group`: use `--gid` instead, `--group` means "A list of

According to the discussion with DanielGibson, the default "20m" seems
too short. It would make LFS fail if the file is large / network is
slow.
I think relaxing this timeout doesn't have side affect. So change the
default value to 24h, IMO that should be long enough.
## ⚠️ BREAKING
If admins want the previous timeout, they should set the setting
`[server].LFS_HTTP_AUTH_EXPIRY`.

# ⚠️ Breaking
Many deprecated queue config options are removed (actually, they should
have been removed in 1.18/1.19).
If you see the fatal message when starting Gitea: "Please update your
app.ini to remove deprecated config options", please follow the error
messages to remove these options from your app.ini.
Example:
```
2023/05/06 19:39:22 [E] Removed queue option: `[indexer].ISSUE_INDEXER_QUEUE_TYPE`. Use new options in `[queue.issue_indexer]`
2023/05/06 19:39:22 [E] Removed queue option: `[indexer].UPDATE_BUFFER_LEN`. Use new options in `[queue.issue_indexer]`
2023/05/06 19:39:22 [F] Please update your app.ini to remove deprecated config options
```
Many options in `[queue]` are are dropped, including:
`WRAP_IF_NECESSARY`, `MAX_ATTEMPTS`, `TIMEOUT`, `WORKERS`,
`BLOCK_TIMEOUT`, `BOOST_TIMEOUT`, `BOOST_WORKERS`, they can be removed
from app.ini.
# The problem
The old queue package has some legacy problems:
* complexity: I doubt few people could tell how it works.
* maintainability: Too many channels and mutex/cond are mixed together,
too many different structs/interfaces depends each other.
* stability: due to the complexity & maintainability, sometimes there
are strange bugs and difficult to debug, and some code doesn't have test
(indeed some code is difficult to test because a lot of things are mixed
together).
* general applicability: although it is called "queue", its behavior is
not a well-known queue.
* scalability: it doesn't seem easy to make it work with a cluster
without breaking its behaviors.
It came from some very old code to "avoid breaking", however, its
technical debt is too heavy now. It's a good time to introduce a better
"queue" package.
# The new queue package
It keeps using old config and concept as much as possible.
* It only contains two major kinds of concepts:
* The "base queue": channel, levelqueue, redis
* They have the same abstraction, the same interface, and they are
tested by the same testing code.
* The "WokerPoolQueue", it uses the "base queue" to provide "worker
pool" function, calls the "handler" to process the data in the base
queue.
* The new code doesn't do "PushBack"
* Think about a queue with many workers, the "PushBack" can't guarantee
the order for re-queued unhandled items, so in new code it just does
"normal push"
* The new code doesn't do "pause/resume"
* The "pause/resume" was designed to handle some handler's failure: eg:
document indexer (elasticsearch) is down
* If a queue is paused for long time, either the producers blocks or the
new items are dropped.
* The new code doesn't do such "pause/resume" trick, it's not a common
queue's behavior and it doesn't help much.
* If there are unhandled items, the "push" function just blocks for a
few seconds and then re-queue them and retry.
* The new code doesn't do "worker booster"
* Gitea's queue's handlers are light functions, the cost is only the
go-routine, so it doesn't make sense to "boost" them.
* The new code only use "max worker number" to limit the concurrent
workers.
* The new "Push" never blocks forever
* Instead of creating more and more blocking goroutines, return an error
is more friendly to the server and to the end user.
There are more details in code comments: eg: the "Flush" problem, the
strange "code.index" hanging problem, the "immediate" queue problem.
Almost ready for review.
TODO:
* [x] add some necessary comments during review
* [x] add some more tests if necessary
* [x] update documents and config options
* [x] test max worker / active worker
* [x] re-run the CI tasks to see whether any test is flaky
* [x] improve the `handleOldLengthConfiguration` to provide more
friendly messages
* [x] fine tune default config values (eg: length?)
## Code coverage:
Since the login form label for user_name unconditionally displays
`Username or Email Address` for the `user_name` field, bring matching
LDAP filters to more prominence in the documentation/placeholders.
