### Manual Installation

```bash
# Install Bun
curl -fsSL https://bun.sh/install | bash

# Setup and run
bun run setup
bun run dev
```

## Usage

1. **First Time Setup**
   - Navigate to http://localhost:4321
   - Create admin account (first user signup)
   - Configure GitHub and Gitea connections

2. **Mirror Strategies**
   - **Preserve Structure**: Maintains GitHub organization structure
   - **Single Organization**: All repos go to one Gitea organization
   - **Flat User**: All repos under your Gitea user account
   - **Mixed Mode**: Personal repos in one org, organization repos preserve structure

3. **Customization**
   - Click edit buttons on organization cards to set custom destinations
   - Override individual repository destinations in the table view
   - Starred repositories automatically go to a dedicated organization

## Advanced Features

### Git LFS (Large File Storage)
Mirror Git LFS objects along with your repositories:
- Enable "Mirror LFS" option in Settings → Mirror Options
- Requires Gitea server with LFS enabled (`LFS_START_SERVER = true`)
- Requires Git v2.1.2+ on the server

### Metadata Mirroring
Transfer complete repository metadata from GitHub to Gitea:
- **Issues** - Mirror all issues with comments and labels
- **Pull Requests** - Transfer PR discussions to Gitea
- **Labels** - Preserve repository labels
- **Milestones** - Keep project milestones
- **Wiki** - Mirror wiki content
- **Releases** - Transfer GitHub releases with assets

Enable in Settings → Mirror Options → Mirror metadata

### Repository Management
- **Ignore Status** - Mark repositories to skip from mirroring
- **Automatic Cleanup** - Configure retention period for activity logs
- **Scheduled Sync** - Set custom intervals for automatic mirroring

### Automatic Syncing & Synchronization

Gitea Mirror provides powerful automatic synchronization features:

#### Features (v3.4.0+)
- **Auto-discovery**: Automatically discovers and imports new GitHub repositories
- **Repository cleanup**: Removes repositories that no longer exist in GitHub
- **Proper intervals**: Mirrors respect your configured sync intervals (not Gitea's default 24h)
- **Smart scheduling**: Only syncs repositories that need updating
- **Auto-start on boot** (v3.5.3+): Automatically imports and mirrors all repositories when `SCHEDULE_ENABLED=true` or `GITEA_MIRROR_INTERVAL` is set - no manual clicks required!

#### Configuration via Web Interface (Recommended)
Navigate to the Configuration page and enable "Automatic Syncing" with your preferred interval.

#### Configuration via Environment Variables

**🚀 Set it and forget it!** With these environment variables, Gitea Mirror will automatically:
1. **Import** all your GitHub repositories on startup (no manual import needed!)
2. **Mirror** them to Gitea immediately  
3. **Keep them synchronized** based on your interval
4. **Auto-discover** new repos you create/star on GitHub
5. **Clean up** repos you delete from GitHub

```bash
# Option 1: Enable automatic scheduling (triggers auto-start)
SCHEDULE_ENABLED=true
SCHEDULE_INTERVAL=3600        # Check every hour (or use cron: "0 * * * *")

# Option 2: Set mirror interval (also triggers auto-start)
GITEA_MIRROR_INTERVAL=8h     # Every 8 hours
# Other examples: 5m, 30m, 1h, 24h, 1d, 7d

# Advanced: Use cron expressions for specific times
SCHEDULE_INTERVAL="0 2 * * *"  # Daily at 2 AM (optimize bandwidth usage)

# Auto-import new repositories (default: true)
AUTO_IMPORT_REPOS=true

# Auto-cleanup orphaned repositories
CLEANUP_DELETE_IF_NOT_IN_GITHUB=true
CLEANUP_ORPHANED_REPO_ACTION=archive  # 'archive' (recommended) or 'delete'
CLEANUP_DRY_RUN=false                 # Set to true to test without changes
```

**Important Notes**:
- **Auto-Start**: When `SCHEDULE_ENABLED=true` or `GITEA_MIRROR_INTERVAL` is set, the service automatically imports all GitHub repositories and mirrors them on startup. No manual "Import" or "Mirror" button clicks required!
- The scheduler checks every minute for tasks to run. The `GITEA_MIRROR_INTERVAL` determines how often each repository is actually synced. For example, with `8h`, each repo syncs every 8 hours from its last successful sync.

**🛡️ Backup Protection Features**:
- **No Accidental Deletions**: Repository cleanup is automatically skipped if GitHub is inaccessible (account deleted, banned, or API errors)
- **Archive Never Deletes Data**: The `archive` action preserves all repository data:
  - Regular repositories: Made read-only using Gitea's archive feature
  - Mirror repositories: Renamed with `archived-` prefix (Gitea API limitation prevents archiving mirrors)
  - Failed operations: Repository remains fully accessible even if marking as archived fails
- **Manual Sync on Demand**: Archived mirrors stay in Gitea with automatic syncs disabled; trigger `Manual Sync` from the Repositories page whenever you need fresh data.
- **The Whole Point of Backups**: Your Gitea mirrors are preserved even when GitHub sources disappear - that's why you have backups!
- **Strongly Recommended**: Always use `CLEANUP_ORPHANED_REPO_ACTION=archive` (default) instead of `delete`

## Troubleshooting

### Reverse Proxy Configuration

If using a reverse proxy (e.g., nginx proxy manager) and experiencing issues with JavaScript files not loading properly, try enabling HTTP/2 support in your proxy configuration. While not required by the application, some proxy configurations may have better compatibility with HTTP/2 enabled. See [issue #43](https://github.com/RayLabsHQ/gitea-mirror/issues/43) for reference.

## Development

```bash
# Install dependencies
bun install

# Run development server
bun run dev

# Run tests
bun test

# Build for production
bun run build
```

## Technologies

- **Frontend**: Astro, React, Shadcn UI, Tailwind CSS v4
- **Backend**: Bun runtime, SQLite, Drizzle ORM
- **APIs**: GitHub (Octokit), Gitea REST API
- **Auth**: Better Auth with session-based authentication

## Security

### Token Encryption
- All GitHub and Gitea API tokens are encrypted at rest using AES-256-GCM
- Encryption is automatic and transparent to users
- Set `ENCRYPTION_SECRET` environment variable for production deployments
- Falls back to `BETTER_AUTH_SECRET` if not set

### Password Security
- User passwords are securely hashed by Better Auth
- Never stored in plaintext
- Secure cookie-based session management

## Authentication

Gitea Mirror supports multiple authentication methods. **Email/password authentication is the default and always enabled.**

### 1. Email & Password (Default)
The standard authentication method. First user to sign up becomes the admin.

### 2. Single Sign-On (SSO) with OIDC
Enable users to sign in with external identity providers like Google, Azure AD, Okta, Authentik, or any OIDC-compliant service.

**Configuration:**
1. Navigate to Settings → Authentication & SSO
2. Click "Add Provider"
3. Enter your OIDC provider details:
   - Issuer URL (e.g., `https://accounts.google.com`)
   - Client ID and Secret from your provider
   - Use the "Discover" button to auto-fill endpoints

**Redirect URL for your provider:**
```
https://your-domain.com/api/auth/sso/callback/{provider-id}
```

Need help? The [SSO & OIDC guide](docs/SSO-OIDC-SETUP.md) now includes a working Authentik walkthrough plus troubleshooting tips. If you upgraded from a version earlier than v3.8.10 and see `TypeError … url.startsWith` after the callback, delete the old provider and add it again using the Discover button (see [#73](https://github.com/RayLabsHQ/gitea-mirror/issues/73) and [#122](https://github.com/RayLabsHQ/gitea-mirror/issues/122)).

### 3. Header Authentication (Reverse Proxy)
Perfect for automatic authentication when using reverse proxies like Authentik, Authelia, or Traefik Forward Auth.

**Environment Variables:**
```bash
# Enable header authentication
HEADER_AUTH_ENABLED=true

# Header names (customize based on your proxy)
HEADER_AUTH_USER_HEADER=X-Authentik-Username
HEADER_AUTH_EMAIL_HEADER=X-Authentik-Email
HEADER_AUTH_NAME_HEADER=X-Authentik-Name

# Auto-provision new users
HEADER_AUTH_AUTO_PROVISION=true

# Restrict to specific email domains (optional)
HEADER_AUTH_ALLOWED_DOMAINS=example.com,company.org
```

**How it works:**
- Users authenticated by your reverse proxy are automatically logged in
- No additional login step required
- New users can be auto-provisioned if enabled
- Falls back to regular authentication if headers are missing

**Example Authentik Configuration:**
```nginx
# In your reverse proxy configuration
proxy_set_header X-Authentik-Username $authentik_username;
proxy_set_header X-Authentik-Email $authentik_email;
proxy_set_header X-Authentik-Name $authentik_name;
```

### 4. OAuth Applications (Act as Identity Provider)
Gitea Mirror can also act as an OIDC provider for other applications. Register OAuth applications in Settings → Authentication & SSO → OAuth Applications tab.

**Use cases:**
- Allow other services to authenticate using Gitea Mirror accounts
- Create service-to-service authentication
- Build integrations with your Gitea Mirror instance

## Known Limitations

### Pull Request Mirroring Implementation
Pull requests **cannot be created as actual PRs** in Gitea due to API limitations. Instead, they are mirrored as **enriched issues** with comprehensive metadata.

**Why real PR mirroring isn't possible:**
- Gitea's API doesn't support creating pull requests from external sources
- Real PRs require actual Git branches with commits to exist in the repository
- Would require complex branch synchronization and commit replication
- The mirror relationship is one-way (GitHub → Gitea) for repository content

**How we handle Pull Requests:**
PRs are mirrored as issues with rich metadata including:
- 🏷️ Special "pull-request" label for identification
- 📌 [PR #number] prefix in title with status indicators ([MERGED], [CLOSED])
- 👤 Original author and creation date
- 📝 Complete commit history (up to 10 commits with links)
- 📊 File changes summary with additions/deletions
- 📁 List of modified files (up to 20 files)
- 💬 Original PR description and comments
- 🔀 Base and head branch information
- ✅ Merge status tracking

This approach preserves all important PR information while working within Gitea's API constraints. The PRs appear in Gitea's issue tracker with clear visual distinction and comprehensive details.
