This is a new feature: https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/blob/master/contrib/environment-to-ini/README

Right now we are copying over a generated app.ini file to a conf volume (https://gitea.kosmos.org/kosmos/gitea.kosmos.org/src/branch/master/kubernetes/gitea-server.yaml#L18)

Right now I'm not sure if that is a good idea for us. Our app.ini config is 92 lines, it seems like a lot of environment variables. We'd have to deal with environment variables that have to stay a secret, while having an app.ini file not in version control takes care of secrets in one go

How many passwords to we really have in the config? It can't be that many.

while having an app.ini file not in version control takes care of secrets in one go

Where does it come from then? This way also takes care of the config being intransparent.

That's just 4, database & mailer password, internal token and secret key

We use a script to get it from the conf volume, where it can then be edited and sent to the volume with another script

@greg Is this still relevant, since we don't use kubernetes anymore?

Meta repo for gitea.kosmos.org operation, issues, suggestions, and feedback.

How is it not relevant anymore? The issues still seem very relevant to me, which is why I'm triaging them:

https://gitea.kosmos.org/kosmos/gitea.kosmos.org/issues

However, if you want to move this repo's issues to the Chef repo, then please do so! It would probably make sense to introduce service labels for that repo's issues then (e.g. service:gitea or similar).
