Update environment-to-ini README (#8183)
The README is linked to by the docs, but has become outdated. This brings the file back in line with the tool's description, fixes the left over Gitea branding and improves the wording in some places. ## Checklist The [contributor guide](https://forgejo.org/docs/next/contributor/) contains information that will be helpful to first time contributors. There also are a few [conditions for merging Pull Requests in Forgejo repositories](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/governance/src/branch/main/PullRequestsAgreement.md). You are also welcome to join the [Forgejo development chatroom](https://matrix.to/#/#forgejo-development:matrix.org). ### Tests - I added test coverage for Go changes... - [ ] in their respective `*_test.go` for unit tests. - [ ] in the `tests/integration` directory if it involves interactions with a live Forgejo server. - I added test coverage for JavaScript changes... - [ ] in `web_src/js/*.test.js` if it can be unit tested. - [ ] in `tests/e2e/*.test.e2e.js` if it requires interactions with a live Forgejo server (see also the [developer guide for JavaScript testing](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/src/branch/forgejo/tests/e2e/README.md#end-to-end-tests)). ### Documentation - [ ] I created a pull request [to the documentation](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/docs) to explain to Forgejo users how to use this change. - [x] I did not document these changes and I do not expect someone else to do it. ### Release notes - [x] I do not want this change to show in the release notes. - [ ] I want the title to show in the release notes with a link to this pull request. - [ ] I want the content of the `release-notes/<pull request number>.md` to be be used for the release notes instead of the title.

Environment To Ini
|
||||
==================
|
||||
|
||||
Multiple docker users have requested that the Gitea docker is changed
|
||||
to permit arbitrary configuration via environment variables.
|
||||
This tool allows defining Forgejo's entire configuration via environment
|
||||
variables, mostly geared towards usage in Docker.
|
||||
|
||||
Gitea needs to use an ini file for configuration because the running
|
||||
environment that starts the docker may not be the same as that used
|
||||
by the hooks. An ini file also gives a good default and means that
|
||||
users do not have to completely provide a full environment.
|
||||
Forgejo needs to use an INI file for configuration because the running
|
||||
environment that starts the container may not be the same as the one used
|
||||
by the hooks. An INI file also gives a good default and means that
|
||||
users do not have to provide the entire set of environment variables.
|
||||
|
||||
With those caveats above, this command provides a generic way of
|
||||
converting suitably structured environment variables into any ini
|
||||
value.
|
||||
|
||||
To use the command is very simple just run it and the default gitea
|
||||
app.ini will be rewritten to take account of the variables provided,
|
||||
however there are various options to give slightly different
|
||||
behavior and these can be interrogated with the `-h` option.
|
||||
When run, `environment-to-ini` will write the config files based on the
|
||||
environment variables provided.
|
||||
Check with the `-h` flag for several options to alter this behaviour.
|
||||
|
||||
The environment variables should be of the form:
|
||||
Environment variables of the form "FORGEJO__SECTION_NAME__KEY_NAME"
|
||||
will be mapped to the ini section "[section_name]" and the key
|
||||
"KEY_NAME" with the value as provided.
|
||||
|
||||
GITEA__SECTION_NAME__KEY_NAME
|
||||
|
||||
Note, SECTION_NAME in the notation above is case-insensitive.
|
||||
Environment variables of the form "FORGEJO__SECTION_NAME__KEY_NAME__FILE"
|
||||
will be mapped to the ini section "[section_name]" and the key
|
||||
"KEY_NAME" with the value loaded from the specified file.
|
||||
|
||||
Environment variables are usually restricted to a reduced character
|
||||
set "0-9A-Z_" - in order to allow the setting of sections with
|
||||
characters outside of that set, they should be escaped as following:
|
||||
"_0X2E_" for "." and "_0X2D_" for "-". The entire section and key names
|
||||
can be escaped as a UTF8 byte string if necessary. E.g. to configure:
|
||||
"_0X2E_" for ".". The entire section and key names can be escaped as
|
||||
a UTF8 byte string if necessary. E.g. to configure:

||||
