Gitea
What it is
Gitea is the self-hosted Git service running in the PBS Docker stack. It provides a private Git hosting layer for PBS projects, automation pipelines, and vault writes. Gitea hosts service accounts (like pbsdeploybot) used for CI/CD and automated git operations, keeping machine credentials separate from personal accounts.
Current state
Active. Key roles:
- pbsdeploybot machine user — Gitea account used by GitHub Actions for PBS deployments; SSH host alias pattern avoids ambiguous key usage
- Email-to-vault pipeline — Gmail → n8n → Gitea push → vault (Gitea as the git push endpoint for new session notes)
- Repository hosting — hosts PBS-related private repos alongside GitHub mirrors
The GitHub deploy refactor project completed the migration to pbsdeploybot with Gitea SSH host aliases, replacing the previous ambiguous key setup.
A relocation is planned (Sources/Homelab/gitea-migration-to-pve): promote a new PVE LXC Gitea to canonical for homelab/petal-power repos, keep the PBS instance canonical for PBS business code, and cross-mirror each as the other's insurance copy. The reframe is that PBS-Gitea was already serving as paid offsite backup. Lovebug also pushes vault-mcp commits to Gitea over HTTPS using a lovebug PAT via an env-driven git credential helper (the semicolon-trap and token fixes are documented in the consolidation session notes).
Where it lives
- PBS Linode Docker stack (
giteaservice) - Behind Traefik ingress
- Persistent data in Docker volumes
