Gitea Access for NaviDocs
Repository Status
✅ Repository exists and is functional - All code is pushed and accessible
Current Situation
The NaviDocs repository was created via git push (Gitea's ENABLE_PUSH_CREATE feature), which creates the Git repository on disk but doesn't register it in Gitea's database. This means:
- ✅ Git operations work (clone, push, pull, etc.)
- ❌ Web UI doesn't show the repository (404 on http://localhost:4000/ggq-admin/navidocs)
- ❌ API doesn't list the repository
Working Git Access
Repository Location: /home/setup/gitea/data/repos/ggq-admin/navidocs.git
Git Remote URL: http://localhost:4000/ggq-admin/navidocs.git
All Git commands work:
# Clone
git clone http://localhost:4000/ggq-admin/navidocs.git
# Check commits
cd /home/setup/navidocs
git log --oneline
# Shows all 20 commits ✅
# Verify remote
git ls-remote origin
# Shows: bf9303228dbf49b4e31121665d6904b289268374 refs/heads/master ✅
# Push/pull
git push origin master # Works ✅
git pull origin master # Works ✅
Workaround Options
Option 1: Use Git Directly (Current - Works)
Continue using Git commands directly. The repository is fully functional via Git, you just can't browse it in the Gitea web UI.
Pros: Already working, no changes needed Cons: No web UI browsing
Option 2: Manually Register in Gitea Database
Use Gitea's doctor command to check and repair the repository database:
cd /home/setup/gitea
./gitea doctor check --run=doctor-check-db-consistency
./gitea doctor recreate-table
Note: This requires stopping Gitea service first.
Option 3: Create Fresh via Web UI
- Log into Gitea web UI: http://localhost:4000
- Click "+" → "New Repository"
- Name: navidocs-web
- Create repository
- Push code to new repository
cd /home/setup/navidocs
git remote rename origin origin-old
git remote add origin http://localhost:4000/ggq-admin/navidocs-web.git
git push -u origin master
Option 4: Use Different Git Hosting (Recommended for Production)
- GitHub: https://github.com
- GitLab: https://gitlab.com
- Bitbucket: https://bitbucket.org
All offer free private repositories with better UI/features than self-hosted Gitea.
Current Status (As-Is)

- Everything is in Git
Verification:
# Clone from Gitea (works)
cd /tmp
git clone http://localhost:4000/ggq-admin/navidocs.git navidocs-test
cd navidocs-test
ls -la # Shows all files ✅
git log --oneline | wc -l # Shows 20 commits ✅
Recommendation
For Now: Use Git directly (Option 1)
- Your code is safe and versioned
- All Git operations work perfectly
- No data loss risk
For Production: Use GitHub/GitLab (Option 4)
- Better UI/collaboration features
- Free private repositories
- CI/CD integration
- Issue tracking
Accessing Your Code
Local Development:
cd /home/setup/navidocs
# All code is here, fully up to date
Clone to Another Machine:
git clone http://localhost:4000/ggq-admin/navidocs.git
Or Clone from Filesystem (if Gitea is down):
git clone /home/setup/gitea/data/repos/ggq-admin/navidocs.git
Verification Commands
# Verify repository exists
ls -la /home/setup/gitea/data/repos/ggq-admin/navidocs.git/
# Check commits
cd /home/setup/navidocs
git log --oneline | head -10
# Verify remote connection
git ls-remote origin
# Clone test
cd /tmp
git clone http://localhost:4000/ggq-admin/navidocs.git test-clone
cd test-clone && ls -la
All these work perfectly! ✅
Bottom Line: Your NaviDocs code is safe, versioned, and accessible via Git. The Gitea web UI issue is cosmetic - all actual Git functionality works fine.
For viewing/browsing code, use:
- Local filesystem:
/home/setup/navidocs/ - VS Code:
code /home/setup/navidocs/ - Git commands:
git log,git show,git diff
No data loss. Everything is committed and pushed. ✅
