+# Gitea CI/CD and Registry Integration
+
+This project uses the Gitea Actions runner and the built-in container registry hosted at `https://git.knownelement.com`. The workflow definition lives under `output/.gitea/workflows/ci.yml` and targets the Gitea Actions runtime (1.21+) alongside the built-in container registry available on current releases. The workflow is currently configured for manual `workflow_dispatch` runs so all routine testing stays on the local harness until a runner is available. citeturn0search0turn1search0
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+1. **Enable Actions** on the Gitea instance and mirror required upstream actions (`actions/checkout@v4`, optional others) via the "Actions" admin panel. citeturn0search0
+2. **Provision a runner** (e.g. `act_runner`) with Docker access so jobs can launch containers. citeturn0search5
+3. **Authenticate to the registry** by generating a Gitea access token (scope `write:package`) and logging in via Docker:
+   ```bash
+   docker login git.knownelement.com -u <username> -p <token>
+   ```

+
+## Workflow overview
+
+The manual `workflow_dispatch` job builds the CI image and then executes the same commands you run locally via:
+
+```bash
+./output/run/dev.sh python output/scripts/lint_repo.py --slug apache-apisix --strict
+./output/run/dev.sh python output/scripts/generate_status.py --preserve-timestamp
+```
+
+> Re-enable push/PR triggers once a runner is available and the commands above consistently succeed.
+
+## Container registry usage
+
+- Tag Cloudron packages against the registry namespace, e.g. `git.knownelement.com/knel/cloudron/apache-apisix:<version>`.
+- Build and push images directly via Docker:
+  ```bash
+  docker build -t git.knownelement.com/knel/cloudron-packager output/docker/packager
+  docker push git.knownelement.com/knel/cloudron-packager
+  ```
+- Cloudron’s CLI can push directly to the registry once you log in within the packager shell (`./output/run/packager.sh`).
+
+## Future enhancements
+
+- Add lint/status checks as required gates in Gitea branch protection.
+- Extend the workflow with matrix builds for priority apps (e.g. run smoke scripts once implemented).
