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 .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:

   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:

./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:

  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).
