- The current architecture is inherently insecure, because you can
construct the 'secret' cookie value with values that are available in
the database. Thus provides zero protection when a database is
dumped/leaked.
- This patch implements a new architecture that's inspired from: [Paragonie Initiative](https://paragonie.com/blog/2015/04/secure-authentication-php-with-long-term-persistence#secure-remember-me-cookies).
- Integration testing is added to ensure the new mechanism works.
- Removes a setting, because it's not used anymore.

Backport #27000 by @wxiaoguang
This PR reduces the complexity of the system setting system.
It only needs one line to introduce a new option, and the option can be
used anywhere out-of-box.
It is still high-performant (and more performant) because the config
values are cached in the config system.

This reduces the usage of `db.DefaultContext`. I think I've got enough
files for the first PR. When this is merged, I will continue working on
this.
Considering how many files this PR affect, I hope it won't take to long
to merge, so I don't end up in the merge conflict hell.

The web context (modules/context.Context) is quite complex, it's
difficult for the callers to initialize correctly.
This PR introduces a `NewWebContext` function, to make sure the web
context have the same behavior for different cases.
Before:
* `{{.locale.Tr ...}}`
* `{{$.locale.Tr ...}}`
* `{{$.root.locale.Tr ...}}`
* `{{template "sub" .}}`
* `{{template "sub" (dict "locale" $.locale)}}`
* `{{template "sub" (dict "root" $)}}`
* .....
With context function: only need to `{{ctx.Locale.Tr ...}}`
The "ctx" could be considered as a super-global variable for all
templates including sub-templates.
To avoid potential risks (any bug in the template context function
package), this PR only starts using "ctx" in "head.tmpl" and
"footer.tmpl" and it has a "DataRaceCheck". If there is anything wrong,
the code can be fixed or reverted easily.
Replace #25580
Fix #19453
The problem was: when users set "GITEA__XXX__YYY" , the "install page"
doesn't respect it.
So, to make the result consistent and avoid surprising end users, now
the "install page" also writes the environment variables to the config
file.
And, to make things clear, there are enough messages on the UI to tell
users what will happen.
There are some necessary/related changes to `environment-to-ini.go`:
* The "--clear" flag is removed and it was incorrectly written there.
The "clear" operation should be done if INSTALL_LOCK=true
* The "--prefix" flag is removed because it's never used, never
documented and it only causes inconsistent behavior.
In modern days, there is no reason to make users set "charset" anymore.
Close #25378
## ⚠️ BREAKING
The key `[database].CHARSET` was removed completely as every newer
(>10years) MySQL database supports `utf8mb4` already.
There is a (deliberately) undocumented new fallback option if anyone
still needs to use it, but we don't recommend using it as it simply
causes problems.
# The problem
There were many "path tricks":
* By default, Gitea uses its program directory as its work path
* Gitea tries to use the "work path" to guess its "custom path" and
"custom conf (app.ini)"
* Users might want to use other directories as work path
* The non-default work path should be passed to Gitea by GITEA_WORK_DIR
or "--work-path"
* But some Gitea processes are started without these values
* The "serv" process started by OpenSSH server
* The CLI sub-commands started by site admin
* The paths are guessed by SetCustomPathAndConf again and again
* The default values of "work path / custom path / custom conf" can be
changed when compiling
# The solution
* Use `InitWorkPathAndCommonConfig` to handle these path tricks, and use
test code to cover its behaviors.
* When Gitea's web server runs, write the WORK_PATH to "app.ini", this
value must be the most correct one, because if this value is not right,
users would find that the web UI doesn't work and then they should be
able to fix it.
* Then all other sub-commands can use the WORK_PATH in app.ini to
initialize their paths.
* By the way, when Gitea starts for git protocol, it shouldn't output
any log, otherwise the git protocol gets broken and client blocks
forever.
The "work path" priority is: WORK_PATH in app.ini > cmd arg --work-path
> env var GITEA_WORK_DIR > builtin default
The "app.ini" searching order is: cmd arg --config > cmd arg "work path
/ custom path" > env var "work path / custom path" > builtin default
## ⚠️ BREAKING
If your instance's "work path / custom path / custom conf" doesn't meet
the requirements (eg: work path must be absolute), Gitea will report a
fatal error and exit. You need to set these values according to the
error log.

This PR rewrites storage configuration read sequences with some breaks
and tests. It becomes more strict than before and also fixed some
inherit problems.
- Move storage's MinioConfig struct into setting, so after the
configuration loading, the values will be stored into the struct but not
still on some section.
- All storages configurations should be stored on one section,
configuration items cannot be overrided by multiple sections. The
prioioty of configuration is `[attachment]` > `[storage.attachments]` |
`[storage.customized]` > `[storage]` > `default`
- For extra override configuration items, currently are `SERVE_DIRECT`,
`MINIO_BASE_PATH`, `MINIO_BUCKET`, which could be configured in another
section. The prioioty of the override configuration is `[attachment]` >
`[storage.attachments]` > `default`.
- Add more tests for storages configurations.
- Update the storage documentations.

The INI package has many bugs and quirks, and in fact it is
unmaintained.
This PR is the first step for the INI package refactoring:
* Use Gitea's "config_provider" to provide INI access
* Deprecate the INI package by golangci.yml rule
Fix #24856
Rename "context.contextKey" to "context.WebContextKey", this context is
for web context only. But the Context itself is not renamed, otherwise
it would cause a lot of changes (if we really want to rename it, there
could be a separate PR).
The old test code doesn't really test, the "install page" gets broken
not only one time, so use new test code to make sure the "install page"
could work.
Replace #16455
Close #21803
Mixing different Gitea contexts together causes some problems:
1. Unable to respond proper content when error occurs, eg: Web should
respond HTML while API should respond JSON
2. Unclear dependency, eg: it's unclear when Context is used in
APIContext, which fields should be initialized, which methods are
necessary.
To make things clear, this PR introduces a Base context, it only
provides basic Req/Resp/Data features.
This PR mainly moves code. There are still many legacy problems and
TODOs in code, leave unrelated changes to future PRs.
Partially for #24457
Major changes:
1. The old `signedUserNameStringPointerKey` is quite hacky, use
`ctx.Data[SignedUser]` instead
2. Move duplicate code from `Contexter` to `CommonTemplateContextData`
3. Remove incorrect copying&pasting code `ctx.Data["Err_Password"] =
true` in API handlers
4. Use one unique `RenderPanicErrorPage` for panic error page rendering
5. Move `stripSlashesMiddleware` to be the first middleware
6. Install global panic recovery handler, it works for both `install`
and `web`
7. Make `500.tmpl` only depend minimal template functions/variables,
avoid triggering new panics
Screenshot:

The old `HTMLRender` is not ideal.
1. It shouldn't be initialized multiple times, it consumes a lot of
memory and is slow.
2. It shouldn't depend on short-lived requests, the `WatchLocalChanges`
needs a long-running context.
3. It doesn't make sense to use FuncsMap slice.
HTMLRender was designed to only work for GItea's specialized 400+
templates, so it's good to make it a global shared instance.
Close #24062
At the beginning, I just wanted to fix the warning mentioned by #24062
But, the cookie code really doesn't look good to me, so clean up them.
Complete the TODO on `SetCookie`:
> TODO: Copied from gitea.com/macaron/macaron and should be improved
after macaron removed.
Replace #23350.
Refactor `setting.Database.UseMySQL` to
`setting.Database.Type.IsMySQL()`.
To avoid mismatching between `Type` and `UseXXX`.
This refactor can fix the bug mentioned in #23350, so it should be
backported.
## TLDR
* Fix the broken page / broken image problem when click "Install"
* Close #20089
* Fix the Password Hash Algorithm display problem for #22942
* Close #23183
* Close #23184
## Details
### The broken page / broken image problem when click "Install"
(Redirect failed after install gitea #23184)
Before: when click "install", all new requests will fail, because the
server has been restarted. Users just see a broken page with broken
images, sometimes the server is not ready but the user would have been
redirect to "/user/login" page, then the users see a new broken page
(connection refused or something wrong ...)
After: only check InstallLock=true for necessary handlers, and sleep for
a while before restarting the server, then the browser has enough time
to load the "post-install" page. And there is a script to check whether
"/user/login" is ready, the user will only be redirected to the login
page when the server is ready.
### During new instance setup make 'Gitea Base URL' filled from
window.location.origin #20089
If the "app_url" input contains `localhost` (the default value from
config), use current window's location href as the `app_url` (aka
ROOT_URL)
### Fix the Password Hash Algorithm display problem for "Provide the
ability to set password hash algorithm parameters #22942"
Before: the UI shows `pbkdf2$50000$50`
<details>
</details>
After: the UI shows `pbkdf2`

### GET data: net::ERR_INVALID_URL #23183
Cause by empty `data:` in `<link rel="manifest"
href="data:{{.ManifestData}}">`

Some bugs caused by less unit tests in fundamental packages. This PR
refactor `setting` package so that create a unit test will be easier
than before.
- All `LoadFromXXX` files has been splited as two functions, one is
`InitProviderFromXXX` and `LoadCommonSettings`. The first functions will
only include the code to create or new a ini file. The second function
will load common settings.
- It also renames all functions in setting from `newXXXService` to
`loadXXXSetting` or `loadXXXFrom` to make the function name less
confusing.
- Move `XORMLog` to `SQLLog` because it's a better name for that.
Maybe we should finally move these `loadXXXSetting` into the `XXXInit`
function? Any idea?

This PR refactors and improves the password hashing code within gitea
and makes it possible for server administrators to set the password
hashing parameters
In addition it takes the opportunity to adjust the settings for `pbkdf2`
in order to make the hashing a little stronger.
The majority of this work was inspired by PR #14751 and I would like to
thank @boppy for their work on this.
Thanks to @gusted for the suggestion to adjust the `pbkdf2` hashing
parameters.

To avoid duplicated load of the same data in an HTTP request, we can set
a context cache to do that. i.e. Some pages may load a user from a
database with the same id in different areas on the same page. But the
code is hidden in two different deep logic. How should we share the
user? As a result of this PR, now if both entry functions accept
`context.Context` as the first parameter and we just need to refactor
`GetUserByID` to reuse the user from the context cache. Then it will not
be loaded twice on an HTTP request.
But of course, sometimes we would like to reload an object from the
database, that's why `RemoveContextData` is also exposed.
The core context cache is here. It defines a new context
```go
type cacheContext struct {
ctx context.Context
data map[any]map[any]any
lock sync.RWMutex
}
var cacheContextKey = struct{}{}
func WithCacheContext(ctx context.Context) context.Context {
return context.WithValue(ctx, cacheContextKey, &cacheContext{
ctx: ctx,
data: make(map[any]map[any]any),
})
}
```
Then you can use the below 4 methods to read/write/del the data within
the same context.
```go
func GetContextData(ctx context.Context, tp, key any) any
func SetContextData(ctx context.Context, tp, key, value any)
func RemoveContextData(ctx context.Context, tp, key any)
func GetWithContextCache[T any](ctx context.Context, cacheGroupKey string, cacheTargetID any, f func() (T, error)) (T, error)
```
Then let's take a look at how `system.GetString` implement it.
```go
func GetSetting(ctx context.Context, key string) (string, error) {
return cache.GetWithContextCache(ctx, contextCacheKey, key, func() (string, error) {
return cache.GetString(genSettingCacheKey(key), func() (string, error) {
res, err := GetSettingNoCache(ctx, key)
if err != nil {
return "", err
}
return res.SettingValue, nil
})
})
}
```
First, it will check if context data include the setting object with the
key. If not, it will query from the global cache which may be memory or
a Redis cache. If not, it will get the object from the database. In the
end, if the object gets from the global cache or database, it will be
set into the context cache.
An object stored in the context cache will only be destroyed after the
context disappeared.

Fix https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/issues/21666
Caused by https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/19663
Before: when install, the INTERNAL_TOKEN was always generated and saved.
But the internal token may be already there by INTERNAL_TOKEN_URI
After: INTERNAL_TOKEN_URI file must be non-empty. When install, skip
internal token generation if the token exists.
The recovery, API, Web and package frameworks all create their own HTML
Renderers. This increases the memory requirements of Gitea
unnecessarily with duplicate templates being kept in memory.
Further the reloading framework in dev mode for these involves locking
and recompiling all of the templates on each load. This will potentially
hide concurrency issues and it is inefficient.
This PR stores the templates renderer in the context and stores this
context in the NormalRoutes, it then creates a fsnotify.Watcher
framework to watch files.
The watching framework is then extended to the mailer templates which
were previously not being reloaded in dev.
Then the locales are simplified to a similar structure.

* Improve install code to avoid low-level mistakes.
If a user tries to do a re-install in a Gitea database, they gets a warning and double check.
When Gitea runs, it never create empty app.ini automatically.
Also some small (related) refactoring:
* Refactor db.InitEngine related logic make it more clean (especially for the install code)
* Move some i18n strings out from setting.go to make the setting.go can be easily maintained.
* Show errors in CLI code if an incorrect app.ini is used.
* APP_DATA_PATH is created when installing, and checked when starting (no empty directory is created any more).
