# Forgejo

[Forgejo](https://forgejo.org/) is a painless self-hosted Git service, an alternative fork to [Gitea](https://gitea.io/) (that this playbook also [supports](gitea.md)).


## Dependencies

This service requires the following other services:

- a [Postgres](postgres.md) database
- a [Traefik](traefik.md) reverse-proxy server


## Configuration

To enable this service, add the following configuration to your `vars.yml` file and re-run the [installation](../installing.md) process:

```yaml
########################################################################
#                                                                      #
# forgejo                                                              #
#                                                                      #

forgejo_enabled: true

# Forgejo uses port 22 by default.
# We recommend that you move your regular SSH server to another port,
# and stick to this default.
#
# If you wish to use another port, uncomment the variable below
# and adjust the port as you see fit.
# forgejo_ssh_port: 222

forgejo_hostname: mash.example.com
forgejo_path_prefix: /forgejo

########################################################################
#                                                                      #
# /forgejo                                                             #
#                                                                      #
########################################################################
```

In the example configuration above, we configure the service to be hosted at `https://mash.example.com/forgejo`.

You can remove the `forgejo_path_prefix` variable definition, to make it default to `/`, so that the service is served at `https://mash.example.com/`.


## Usage

After installation, you should be able to access your new Forgejo instance at the configured URL (see above).

Going there, you'll be taken to the initial setup wizard, which will let you assign some paswords and other configuration.


## Recommended other services

You may also wish to look into [Woodpecker CI](woodpecker-ci.md), which can integrate nicely with Forgejo.


## Integration with Woodpecker CI

If you want to integrate Forgejo with [Woodpecker CI](woodpecker-ci.md), and if you plan to serve Woodpecker CI under a subpath on the same host as Forgejo (e.g., Forgejo lives at `https://mash.example.com` and Woodpecker CI lives at `https://mash.example.com/ci`), then you need to configure Forgejo to use the host's external IP when invoking webhooks from Woodpecker CI.  You can do it by setting the following variables:

```yaml
forgejo_container_add_host_domain_name: "{{ devture_woodpecker_ci_server_hostname }}"
forgejo_container_add_host_domain_ip_address: "{{ ansible_host }}"
```

You will also need to edit Forgejo's configuration file (which lives under `/mash/forgejo/config/app.ini` on the host) and allow the service to communicate with your host's IP:

```
[webhook]
ALLOWED_HOST_LIST = A.B.C.D
```

In the example above, replace `A.B.C.D` with your host's IP address.
