Find a file
Nick Guenther 06b59daf20 git-annex support
[git-annex](https://git-annex.branchable.com/) is a more complicated cousin to
git-lfs, storing large files in an optional-download side content.  Unlike lfs,
it allows mixing and matching storage remotes, so the content remote(s) doesn't
need to be on the same server as the git remote, making it feasible to scatter
a collection across cloud storage, old harddrives, or anywhere else storage can
be scavenged.  Since this can get complicated, fast, it has a content-tracking
database (`git annex whereis`) to help find everything later.

The use-case we imagine for including it in Gitea is just the simple case, where
we're primarily emulating git-lfs: each repo has its large content at the same URL.

Our motivation is so we can self-host https://www.datalad.org/ datasets, which
currently are only hostable by fragilely scrounging together cloud storage --
and having to manage all the credentials associated with all the pieces -- or at
https://openneuro.org which is fragile in its own ways.

Supporting git-annex also allows multiple Gitea instance to be annex remotes for
each other, mirroring the content or otherwise collaborating the split up the
hosting costs.

Permission Checking
-------------------

This tweaks the API in routers/private/serv.go to expose the calling user's
computed permission, instead of just returning HTTP 403.

This doesn't fit in super well. It's the opposite from how the git-lfs support is
done, where there's a complete list of possible subcommands and their matching
permission levels, and then the API compares the requested with the actual level
and returns HTTP 403 if the check fails.

But it's necessary. The main git-annex verbs, 'git-annex-shell configlist' and
'git-annex-shell p2pstdio' are both either read-only or read-write operations,
depending on the state on disk on either end of the connection and what the user
asked it to ask for, with no way to know before git-annex examines the situation.
So tell the level via GIT_ANNEX_READONLY and trust it to handle itself.

In the older Gogs version, the permission was directly read in cmd/serv.go:

```
mode, err = db.UserAccessMode(user.ID, repo)
```
- 966e925cf3/internal/cmd/serv.go (L334)

but in Gitea permission enforcement has been centralized in the API layer.
(perhaps so the cmd layer can avoid making direct DB connections?)

Deletion
--------

git-annex has this "lockdown" feature where it tries
really quite very hard to prevent you deleting its
data, to the point that even an rm -rf won't do it:
each file in annex/objects/ is nested inside a
folder with read-only permissions.

The recommended workaround is to run chmod -R +w when
you're sure you actually want to delete a repo. See
https://git-annex.branchable.com/internals/lockdown

So we edit util.RemoveAll() to do just that, so now
it's `chmod -R +w && rm -rf` instead of just `rm -rf`.

Welcome to Forgejo

Hi there! Tired of big platforms playing monopoly? Providing Git hosting for your project, friends, company or community? Forgejo (/for'd͡ʒe.jo/ inspired by forĝejo the Esperanto word for forge) has you covered with its intuitive interface, light and easy hosting and a lot of builtin functionality.

Forgejo was created in 2022 because we think that the project should be owned by an independent community. If you second that, then Forgejo is for you! Our promise: Independent Free/Libre Software forever!

What does Forgejo offer?

If you like any of the following, Forgejo is literally meant for you:

  • Lightweight: Forgejo can easily be hosted on nearly every machine. Running on a Raspberry? Small cloud instance? No problem!
  • Project management: Besides Git hosting, Forgejo offers issues, pull requests, wikis, kanban boards and much more to coordinate with your team.
  • Publishing: Have something to share? Use releases to host your software for download, or use the package registry to publish it for docker, npm and many other package managers.
  • Customizable: Want to change your look? Change some settings? There are many config switches to make Forgejo work exactly like you want.
  • Powerful: Organizations & team permissions, CI integration, Code Search, LDAP, OAuth and much more. If you have advanced needs, Forgejo has you covered.
  • Privacy: From update checker to default settings: Forgejo is built to be privacy first for you and your crew.
  • Federation: (WIP) We are actively working to connect software forges with each other through ActivityPub, and create a collaborative network of personal instances.
