Quick commands

Verify a live instance:

DOMAIN=ataymakhzan.com \
SSH_PORT=2222 \
OWNER=ibnezzoubayr \
PROBE_REPO=Empire-OS \
./scripts/verify-gitea.sh

Create a rollback backup on the VPS:

sudo STACK_DIR=/opt/gitea ./scripts/backup-gitea.sh

Prepare an upgrade dry-run:

sudo TARGET_VERSION=1.26.2 STACK_DIR=/opt/gitea ./scripts/upgrade-gitea.sh

Apply an upgrade intentionally:

sudo TARGET_VERSION=1.26.2 STACK_DIR=/opt/gitea APPLY=1 ./scripts/upgrade-gitea.sh

Strategic direction

This repo starts as ops/infrastructure for the official Gitea-based Atay Makhzan deployment.

Later, if Atay Makhzan needs product behavior that Gitea cannot cleanly support through configuration, themes, plugins, or external automation, we can create a separate source fork and maintain it as its own product.

Until then, the CTO rule is:

Do not fork Gitea prematurely. First make the deployment reproducible, observable, backed up, and safe to upgrade.
