Forgejo Actions

This project's static Pages are built by Forgejo Actions, following the steps defined in .forgejo/workflows/pages.yaml. That builds this website using ikiwiki, and pushes the build artifacts to the public branch.

The public branch has its own workflow following steps defined in forgejo/workflows/deploy.yaml that uploads the artifacts to a remote HTTP server for deployment in production. This workflow is automatically updated from main so that public should never be manually modified.

The deployment is done by a simple remote git push via SSH to a non-bare repo where git config receive.denyCurrentBranch is set as updateInstead. This allows this repo to be checked out as public, allowing it to be a root for your favorite HTTP server.

The following secrets are expected to be set for operation:

• PAGES_PRIVKEY: SSH private key that is used to push to the HTTP server's git repo
• PAGES_TOKEN: Forgejo application token used to push to public branch.

The following variables are expected to be set for operation:

• PAGES_TARGET: SSH target for HTTP server's git repo, following this format: user@example.net:/path/to/http/repo
