* ds-gitea
This role can install and configures a [[https://docs.gitea.com/][Gitea]] server.
It uses SQLite as its default database service - with optional PostgreSQL support (=ds-posgresql=).
The role can set up a reverse proxy with SSL using Nginx (=ds-nginx=).
Self-signed certificates and Let's Encrypt with =certbot= are supported.
The =ds-ufw= role can configure the firewall.
The =ds-act_runner= role can configure and register Actions runners.
* Role Behavior
1. Download and install the Gitea binary
2. (Optionally) Set up the PostgreSQL user and database
3. (Optionally) Set up an =nginx= reverse proxy with SSL support
4. Create a user and group for the service
5. Create the required directory structure
6. Wait to save the secrets in SOPS (only if secrets are not present)
7. Deploy the Gitea =app.ini= configuration
8. Deploy the Gitea systemd service
9. Enable and start the services

* Handlers
- =Reload_systemd=: It runs a =daemon-reload=
- =Restart_gitea=: It restarts the Gitea service
* Secrets
Always save the production secrets in SOPS, or in Ansible Vault.
You can generate the secrets manually when the playbook stops:
#+begin_src shell
gitea generate secret INTERNAL_TOKEN
gitea generate secret JWT_SECRET
#+end_src
Use the =JWT_SECRET= command to generate the =gitea_lfs_jwt_secret= as well. It's an alias.
Then re-run the playbook to finish the installation.
