Refactor docs (#23752)
This was intended to be a small followup for
https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/23712, but...here we are.
1. Our docs currently use `slug` as the entire URL, which makes
refactoring tricky (see https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/23712).
Instead, this PR attempts to make future refactoring easier by using
slugs as an extension of the section. (Hugo terminology)
- What the above boils down to is this PR attempts to use directory
organization as URL management. e.g. `usage/comparison.en-us.md` ->
`en-us/usage/comparison/`, `usage/packages/overview.en-us.md` ->
`en-us/usage/packages/overview/`
- Technically we could even remove `slug`, as Hugo defaults to using
filename, however at least with this PR it means `slug` only needs to be
the name for the **current file** rather than an entire URL
2. This PR adds appropriate aliases (redirects) for pages, so anything
on the internet that links to our docs should hopefully not break.
3. A minor nit I've had for a while, renaming `seek-help` to `support`.
It's a minor thing, but `seek-help` has a strange connotation to it.
4. The commits are split such that you can review the first which is the
"actual" change, and the second is added redirects so that the first
doesn't break links elsewhere.

### keys
2018-11-01 14:41:07 +01:00

2021-11-28 14:28:30 +01:00
# username running Gitea
2018-11-01 14:41:07 +01:00
AuthorizedKeysCommandUser git
AuthorizedKeysCommand /path/to/gitea keys -e git -u %u -t %t -k %k
```
The command will return the appropriate authorized_keys line for the
provided key. You should also set the value
`SSH_CREATE_AUTHORIZED_KEYS_FILE=false` in the `[server]` section of
`app.ini` .
2021-11-28 14:28:30 +01:00

2018-11-01 14:41:07 +01:00
writable by group or others. The program must be specified by an absolute
path.
2019-12-17 02:49:07 +01:00

#### doctor recreate-table
2020-09-06 23:52:01 +02:00
Sometimes when there are migrations the old columns and default values may be left
unchanged in the database schema. This may lead to warning such as:
```
2023-08-13 21:17:21 +02:00
2020/08/02 11:32:29 ...rm/session_schema.go:360:Sync() [W] Table user Column keep_activity_private db default is , struct default is 0
2020-09-06 23:52:01 +02:00
```
You can cause Gitea to recreate these tables and copy the old data into the new table
with the defaults set appropriately by using:
```
gitea doctor recreate-table user
```
2021-11-28 14:28:30 +01:00
You can ask Gitea to recreate multiple tables using:
2020-09-06 23:52:01 +02:00
```
gitea doctor recreate-table table1 table2 ...
```
And if you would like Gitea to recreate all tables simply call:
```
gitea doctor recreate-table
```
It is highly recommended to back-up your database before running these commands.
2023-07-25 16:38:27 +02:00
### doctor convert
