# Gitea Automatic Repository Creation - Implementation Summary
## Overview
This implementation adds automatic repository creation to the Gitea Helm chart configuration for the Bakery-IA project. When Gitea is installed or upgraded via Helm, it will automatically create a `bakery-ia` repository with the specified configuration.
## Changes Made
### 1. Updated Helm Values (`values.yaml`)
Added the `initialRepositories` configuration under the `gitea:` section:
```yaml
# Initial repositories to create automatically after Gitea installation
# These will be created with the admin user as owner
gitea:
initialRepositories:
- name: bakery-ia
description: "Main repository for Bakery IA project - Automatically created by Helm"
private: false
auto_init: true
default_branch: main
owner: "{{ .Values.gitea.admin.username }}"
# Enable issues, wiki, and other features
enable_issues: true
enable_wiki: true
enable_pull_requests: true
enable_projects: true
```
### 2. Created Setup Script (`setup-gitea-repository.sh`)
A comprehensive bash script that:
- Checks if Gitea is accessible
- Verifies if the repository exists (creates it if not)
- Configures the local Git repository
- Pushes the existing code to the new Gitea repository
### 3. Created Test Script (`test-repository-creation.sh`)
A test script that verifies:
- Gitea accessibility
- Repository existence
- Repository configuration (issues, wiki, pull requests)
- Provides detailed repository information
### 4. Created Documentation
- **README.md**: Complete guide on installation, usage, and troubleshooting
- **IMPLEMENTATION_SUMMARY.md**: This file, summarizing the implementation
## How It Works
### Automatic Repository Creation Flow
1. **Helm Installation**: When `helm install` or `helm upgrade` is executed with the updated values
2. **Gitea Initialization**: Gitea starts and creates the admin user
3. **Repository Creation**: Gitea processes the `initialRepositories` configuration and creates the specified repositories
4. **Completion**: The repository is ready for use immediately after Gitea is fully initialized
### Key Features
- **Automatic**: No manual intervention required after Helm installation
- **Idempotent**: Safe to run multiple times (won't duplicate repositories)
- **Configurable**: All repository settings are defined in Helm values
- **Integrated**: Uses native Gitea Helm chart features
## Usage
### Installation
```bash
# Install Gitea with automatic repository creation
helm install gitea gitea/gitea -n gitea \
-f infrastructure/cicd/gitea/values.yaml \
--set gitea.admin.password=your-secure-password
```
### Push Existing Code
```bash
export GITEA_ADMIN_PASSWORD="your-secure-password"
./infrastructure/cicd/gitea/setup-gitea-repository.sh
```
### Verify Repository
```bash
export GITEA_ADMIN_PASSWORD="your-secure-password"
./infrastructure/cicd/gitea/test-repository-creation.sh
```
## Repository Configuration
The automatically created repository includes:
| Feature | Enabled | Description |
|---------|---------|-------------|
| Name | bakery-ia | Main project repository |
| Description | Main repository for Bakery IA project | Clear identification |
| Visibility | Public | Accessible without authentication |
| Auto Init | Yes | Creates initial README.md |
| Default Branch | main | Standard branch naming |
| Issues | Yes | Bug and feature tracking |
| Wiki | Yes | Project documentation |
| Pull Requests | Yes | Code review workflow |
| Projects | Yes | Project management |
## CI/CD Integration
The repository is ready for immediate CI/CD integration:
- **Repository URL**: `https://gitea.bakery-ia.local/bakery-admin/bakery-ia.git`
- **Clone URL**: `https://gitea.bakery-ia.local/bakery-admin/bakery-ia.git`
- **SSH URL**: `git@gitea.bakery-ia.local:bakery-admin/bakery-ia.git`
## Benefits
1. **Automation**: Eliminates manual repository creation step
2. **Consistency**: Ensures all environments have the same repository structure
3. **Reliability**: Uses Helm's declarative configuration management
4. **Documentation**: Clear repository purpose and features
5. **CI/CD Ready**: Repository is immediately available for pipeline configuration
## Troubleshooting
### Repository Not Created
1. **Check Helm Values**: Ensure the `initialRepositories` section is correctly formatted
2. **Verify Gitea Logs**: `kubectl logs -n gitea -l app.kubernetes.io/name=gitea`
3. **Manual Creation**: Use the setup script to create the repository manually
### Authentication Issues
1. **Verify Password**: Ensure `GITEA_ADMIN_PASSWORD` is correct
2. **Check Accessibility**: Confirm Gitea service is running and accessible
3. **Network Configuration**: Verify ingress and DNS settings
## Future Enhancements
Potential improvements for future iterations:
1. **Multiple Repositories**: Add more repositories for different components
2. **Webhooks**: Automatically configure webhooks for CI/CD triggers
3. **Teams and Permissions**: Set up teams and access controls
4. **Template Repositories**: Create repository templates with standard files
5. **Backup Configuration**: Add automatic backup configuration
## Conclusion
This implementation provides a robust, automated solution for Gitea repository creation in the Bakery-IA project. It leverages Helm's native capabilities to ensure consistent, reliable repository setup across all environments.
