_This is the developer documentation for Forgejo Next, covering technical
|
|
details for Forgejo contributors.
|
|
[Go to end-user documentation for service overview.](../../user/forgejo-next/)_
|
|
|
|
https://next.forgejo.org, also known as Forgejo Next, is Forgejo's
|
|
official testing and demonstration instance. The specific version of
|
|
Forgejo running on this instance varies depending on the status of the
|
|
latest release branch.
|
|
|
|
Typically, the instance will be running a recent build straight from the
|
|
`forgejo` branch, meaning it contains experimental code that will be
|
|
included in the next major version of Forgejo. When a release branch is
|
|
created and release candidates are posted, Forgejo Next will be switched
|
|
to the latest release candidate. Release candidates are to be deployed
|
|
until a stable release is available, at which point the stable release
|
|
will be deployed. After the release has been sufficiently tested (often
|
|
after it's deployed to Codeberg), next.forgejo.org will then be upgraded
|
|
back to the `forgejo` branch.
|
|
|
|
next.forgejo.org is generously hosted by Codeberg to help the Forgejo
|
|
community test and demonstrate its product. The instance runs inside
|
|
its own LXC container on Codeberg's infrastructure. When SNI-enabled
|
|
traffic bound for next.forgejo.org reaches Codeberg's proxy on port 443,
|
|
the raw TCP traffic is forwarded to the container, allowing the instance
|
|
to terminate the SSL/TLS and obtain its own certificate using Forgejo's
|
|
inbuilt ACME client. The proxy also forwards port 2222 to the container
|
|
for SSH access. Additionally, Codeberg provides a database on their
|
|
existing MariaDB host for the instance to use.
|
|
|
|
Inside the container, the Forgejo binary is manually installed to
|
|
`/usr/local/bin/forgejo` with the service managed by systemd.
|
|
Configuration is loaded from `/etc/forgejo/app.ini`.
|
|
_TODO: Semi-automated deployment with Forgejo Actions._
|
|
|
|
Since the container is inside Codeberg's infrastructure, logging into
|
|
it for maintainence is subject to Codeberg's security policy. If you
|
|
need to access it, please
|
|
[seek approval from the Forgejo community](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/governance/issues),
|
|
then contact Codeberg staff for more information.
|
|
|
|
<!-- TODO: Add more information about the requirements and how to set it up after seeking Codeberg's approval -->
|
|
|
|
When working with the container, it's important to avoid breaking anything
|
|
in a way that will cause any user data to be lost. Users of next.forgejo.org
|
|
are expected to keep their own backups of any important data they upload,
|
|
but we also wish to encourage casual use of the instance for legitimate
|
|
projects, not just test repos, so the instance should _not_ be considered
|
|
disposable.
