Changing a repository's or an organization's destination used to change a label and nothing else: the mirror stayed where it was, sync failed once someone transferred it in Gitea, and Retry created a second copy. Sync now looks for a mirror of the same source anywhere on the destination before failing, and the mirror path does the same before creating a copy. Reconcile reports moved mirrors and can record their new location. The destination editors offer to transfer the existing mirror on Gitea or Forgejo, with a confirmation for organizations. Pending transfers, when the token cannot create repositories under the new owner, are reported, and sync follows the mirror once accepted. Nothing is deleted on either side.
Gitea Mirror Documentation
This folder contains engineering and operations references for the open-source Gitea Mirror project. Each guide focuses on the parts of the system that still require bespoke explanation beyond the in-app help and the main README.md.
Available Guides
Core workflow
- DEVELOPMENT_WORKFLOW.md – Set up a local environment, run scripts, and understand the repo layout (app + marketing site).
- ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLES.md – Complete reference for every configuration flag supported by the app and Docker images.
- NIX_DEPLOYMENT.md – User-facing deployment guide for Nix and NixOS.
- NIX_DISTRIBUTION.md – Maintainer notes for packaging, releases, and distribution strategy.
Reliability & recovery
- GRACEFUL_SHUTDOWN.md – How signal handling, shutdown coordination, and job persistence work in v3.
- RECOVERY_IMPROVEMENTS.md – Deep dive into the startup recovery workflow and supporting scripts.
Authentication
- SSO-OIDC-SETUP.md – Configure OIDC/SSO providers through the admin UI.
- SSO_TESTING.md – Recipes for local and staging SSO testing (Google, Keycloak, mock providers).
API
- API.md – Create API keys and call the app from scripts, CI pipelines and workflow tools.
Sources and destinations
- SOURCE_PROVIDERS.md – GitHub, GitLab and Gitea/Forgejo as sources: tokens, what each can mirror, the source lock.
- PUSH_TARGETS.md – GitHub and GitLab as destinations: how the push engine works, token scopes, disk usage, what is not mirrored.
The user-facing documentation lives on the website at https://gitea-mirror.raylabs.io/docs/, with its sources under www/src/pages/docs/. If you are looking for playbooks, see the MDX use cases under www/src/pages/use-cases/.
Quick start for local development
git clone https://github.com/RayLabsHQ/gitea-mirror.git
cd gitea-mirror
bun run setup # installs deps and seeds the SQLite DB
bun run dev # starts the Astro/Bun app on http://localhost:4321
The first user you create locally becomes the administrator. All other configuration—GitHub owners, Gitea targets, scheduling, cleanup—is done through the Configuration screen in the UI.
