https://gitea.com/gitea/runner/pulls/1358 mirrors every built-in `GITHUB_*` variable as `GITEA_*`. The variables page now lists both names for each, in the same paired style as the context table.
It also adds variables that runners already set but the page left out (`*_ACTOR_ID`, `*_REF_PROTECTED`, `*_REPOSITORY_ID`, `*_REPOSITORY_OWNER_ID`, `*_TRIGGERING_ACTOR`, `*_WORKFLOW_SHA`, `ACT`, `ImageOS`, `RUNNER_DEBUG`, `RUNNER_ENVIRONMENT`, `RUNNER_NAME`, `RUNNER_WORKSPACE`, `TRACEPARENT`, `TRACESTATE`).
Examples copied from GitHub's runner (`/home/runner/work/_temp/...` paths, `__run`, `ghs_***`) are replaced with the values gitea-runner and Gitea actually produce, using placeholder users, repositories and instance URLs.
The zh-cn and zh-tw pages get the environment variable section they never had.

Document https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/39190, which reads the RFC 7239 `Forwarded` header when `X-Forwarded-For` is absent and keeps the forwarded client port.
- `REVERSE_PROXY_LIMIT`: list `X-Real-IP`, `X-Forwarded-For` and `Forwarded` in the order they are read, and where the client port comes from, also in zh-cn and zh-tw
- Reverse proxies: require the proxy to set `X-Real-IP`, since Caddy, Apache and HAProxy pass a client-sent one through by default, and mention `X-Real-Port` for logging the client port

Fixes the binary-install restore example in the Backup and Restore docs.
The default `[repository] ROOT` is `{APP_DATA_PATH}/gitea-repositories`, but the example restored repos to `/var/lib/gitea/data/repositories/`, so restored repositories did not show up. Changed it to `/var/lib/gitea/data/gitea-repositories/`.
The Docker and Docker-rootless examples are unchanged: their app.ini templates set `[repository] ROOT` explicitly, so their paths are already correct.

The runner pages had drifted from the runner. They claimed Podman is unsupported, a registration retry limit of 10, a `container.env` proxy override that has no effect, and they used the deprecated `generate-config` command, while the actual instructions were buried under implementation details.
The develop and 5.x pages are rewritten from the current runner sources (`main` is `v5.2.0`). They are shorter and aimed at operators, with a new page covering what jobs get. The reference generator now documents the `config` command, and the quickstart pages in every language use the `gitea-runner` binary name.

Fixes https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/issues/39310
The docker install pages tell readers to use `:nightly` / `:nightless-rootless` for the latest development version, but those tags are no longer published — the registry only carries `main-nightly` and `main-nightly-rootless` (plus the per-release-branch `1.x-nightly` tags):
```
$ curl -s https://docker.gitea.com/v2/gitea/tags/list?n=1000 | tr ',' '\n' | grep -E '"(main-)?nightly(-rootless)?"'
"main-nightly"
"main-nightly-rootless"
```
Anyone who followed the rootless page has been pinned to an image that has not been rebuilt since 2025-08-23.
Changes:
- point the docker and rootless docker install pages at `:main-nightly` / `:main-nightly-rootless`, in English and in the zh-cn/zh-tw translations
- use `1.27-nightly` instead of the long gone `1.16-nightly` as the release branch example (the oldest one still published is `1.19-nightly`)
- fix the zh-cn/zh-tw claim that `:latest` installs a development version, and mention the nightly tags there the way the English page does
- render `@dockerVersion@` as `main-nightly` for the next version, so the compose snippets on the unreleased docs no longer reference `gitea:nightly`
Not touched: the 1.22–1.26 versioned docs carry the same stale tag, but those versions are already out of maintenance — happy to include them if preferred.

Several cron tasks in the cheat sheet listed `ENABLE_SUCCESS_NOTICE` or `NO_SUCCESS_NOTICE`. Gitea reads neither, only `NOTICE_ON_SUCCESS`. `NO_SUCCESS_NOTICE` was removed in https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/19221.
1. Replace both dead keys with `NOTICE_ON_SUCCESS` (default `false`).
2. Fix "Notice if not success" descriptions, which inverted the key's meaning.
3. List the key for `cleanup_hook_task_table`, `cleanup_actions`, `cleanup_action_runs` and `gc_lfs`, which honor it but omitted it.

Replace [#307](https://gitea.com/gitea/docs/issues/307)
Closes [#237](https://gitea.com/gitea/docs/issues/237)
## Summary
Rebuilds docs.gitea.com with [Astro](https://astro.build) and [Starlight](https://starlight.astro.build), replacing Docusaurus. Every
published url keeps working and no content file was moved: the site is a new rendering layer over the existing `docs/`, `versioned_docs/`, `i18n/`, `runner-docs/` and `static/swagger-*.json` trees.
For the first time the API reference is part of the site rather than a Redoc
bundle: all seven swagger documents are rendered into real pages, one per
operation, so they are linkable, crawlable and searchable.
## Why
- the Docusaurus build needs an 8 GB heap and about 2 minutes for 2478 pages;
the Astro build produces 5751 pages, API reference included, in about 100
seconds
- the API reference was a single client rendered Redoc page per version, absent
from the site search and from search engines
- sidebars, version lists and language lists were configured in three different
places and drifted apart
## What is in here
- **`packages/content-loader`** — the product × version × language matrix
(`products.ts`) and an Astro content loader that reads the existing markdown
trees directly. The matrix is the single source of truth: content loading,
sidebars, the version and language pickers, the version banner, the search
facets and the API schemas are all derived from it.
- **Content compatibility** — frontmatter `slug`, `sidebar_position` and
`sidebar_label` keep working, `_category_.json` still drives sidebar labels,
order and the generated category pages, `@version@` style release variables are
still substituted, `:::note` admonitions become Starlight asides and the 2778
relative `*.md` links are rewritten to urls while the site is built.
- **API reference** — `starlight-openapi` renders the seven swagger documents.
Operation urls are hyphenated (`/api/operations/list-admin-workflow-jobs/`),
the sidebar shows the operations of the version being read with a coloured
HTTP method badge, and the overview page links to one page per tag instead of
repeating all 484 operations.
- **Navigation** — a version picker that follows the reader to the same page in
another version, a language picker that only offers the languages the current
product is published in, and product links for Docs, API, Runner and
Enterprise.
- **Theme** — the light and dark palettes of about.gitea.com, mapped onto the
Starlight variables.
- **Search** — Pagefind by default; Algolia DocSearch takes over when
`PUBLIC_DOCSEARCH_APP_ID` and `PUBLIC_DOCSEARCH_API_KEY` are set. Every page
carries `docsearch:product`, `docsearch:version` and `docsearch:language` meta
tags, so a search stays inside what is being read.
`cloudflare/docsearch-crawler.json` holds the crawler configuration.
## Bugs fixed along the way
- `GET /user/applications/oauth2` and `GET /user/applications/oauth2/{id}` have
operation ids that only differ in case, so they collapsed onto the same url
and one of the two pages was silently dropped. They are now
`user-get-oauth2-application` and `user-get-oauth2-application-by-id`.
- The API overview and every tag page were all titled "Overview".
## Url compatibility
The routes of both builds were compared page by page during the migration with
`scripts/url-diff.mjs`:
```
identical: 2368, missing: 0, accepted: 110, added: 3292
```
The 110 accepted ones are all redirected in `cloudflare/_redirects`: the
localized copies of the English-only API and Runner docs, the Docusaurus search
page, and `/1.27/`, `/runner/3/`, `/api/1.27/` which are aliases of the versions
served at the product root. The added ones are the API operation and tag pages
plus the routes the Starlight language fallback serves in English when a
translation is missing — Docusaurus answered those with a 404.
## Workflows
- `checks` builds the site and type checks it on every pull request
- `Build and Publish Docs site` publishes `sites/docs/dist` to S3/CloudFront and
to Cloudflare Pages, and copies `cloudflare/_headers` and
`cloudflare/_redirects` into the deployment
- `update swagger files` and `update runner reference` are unchanged, they only
touch content
- `make cut-version PRODUCT=docs VERSION=1.28` replaces
`docusaurus docs:version`
## Removed
`docusaurus.config.js`, the swizzled theme under `src/`, and the Docusaurus UI
translations (`i18n/*/code.json`, `i18n/*/docusaurus-theme-classic/`). The
strings those carried — the product names, the footer column titles and the
outdated translation notice — were ported to
`sites/docs/src/config/strings.ts`; Starlight ships the rest of its interface in
both Chinese locales. The documentation content itself is untouched.
## Follow ups
- nine relative links are broken in the sources and reported by every build, the
same ones Docusaurus warned about; `GITEA_DOCS_STRICT_LINKS=true` turns them
into an error once they are fixed
- `cloudflare/worker.js` has to be deployed for `/enterprise/` to keep resolving
- the Algolia index has to be created and crawled before the search credentials
are set
## Testing
```shell
make install
make serve-fast # english, the version served at the root
make serve # the whole matrix
make build # 5751 pages
make check # 0 errors
make serve-built # build and serve, the only way to try the search locally
```
