+title: Flux bootstrap for Gitea
+linkTitle: Gitea
+description: "How to bootstrap Flux with Gitea"
+weight: 20
+---
+
+The [flux bootstrap gitea](/flux/cmd/flux_bootstrap_gitea/) command deploys the Flux controllers
+on a Kubernetes cluster and configures the controllers to sync the cluster state from a Gitea repository.
+Besides installing the controllers, the bootstrap command pushes the Flux manifests to the Gitea repository
+and configures Flux to update itself from Gitea.
+
+After running the bootstrap command, any operation on the cluster (including Flux upgrades)
+can be done via Git push, without the need to connect to the Kubernetes cluster.
+
+{{% alert color="danger" title="Required permissions" %}}
+To bootstrap Flux, the person running the command must have **cluster admin rights** for the target Kubernetes cluster.
+It is also required that the person running the command to be the **owner** of the Gitea repository,
+or to have admin rights of a Gitea organization.
+{{% /alert %}}
+
+## Gitea PAT 
+
+For accessing the Gitea API, the boostrap command requires a Gitea personal access token (PAT)
+with administration permissions.
+
+The Gitea PAT can be exported as an environment variable:
+
+```sh
+export GITEA_TOKEN=<gt-token>
+```
+
+If the `GITEA_TOKEN` env var is not set, the bootstrap command will prompt you to type it the token.
+
+You can also supply the token using a pipe e.g. `echo "<gt-token>" | flux bootstrap gitea`.
+
+## Gitea Personal Account
+
+If you want to bootstrap Flux for a repository owned by a personal account, you can generate a
+[Gitea PAT](https://gitea.com/user/settings/applications)
+that can create repositories by checking all permissions under `Select permissions` drop down menu.
+
+If you want to use an existing repository, the PAT's user must have `admin`
+[permissions](https://docs.gitea.com/development/oauth2-provider#scopes).
+
+Run the bootstrap for a repository on your personal Gitea account:
+
+```sh
+flux bootstrap gitea \
+  --token-auth \
+  --owner=my-gitea-username \
+  --repository=my-repository-name \
+  --branch=main \
+  --path=clusters/my-cluster \
+  --personal
+```
+
+If the specified repository does not exist, Flux will create it for you as private. If you wish to create
+a public repository, set `--private=false`.
+
+When using `--token-auth`, the CLI and the Flux controllers running on the cluster will use the Gitea PAT
+to access the Git repository over HTTPS.
+
+{{% alert color="danger" title="PAT secret" %}}
+Note that the Gitea PAT is stored in the cluster as a **Kubernetes Secret** named `flux-system`
+inside the `flux-system` namespace. If you want to avoid storing your PAT in the cluster,
+please see how to configure [Gitea Deploy Keys](#gitea-deploy-keys).
+{{% /alert %}}
+
+## Gitea Organization
+
+If you want to bootstrap Flux for a repository owned by a Gitea organization,
+it is recommended to create a dedicated user for Flux under your organization.
+
+Generate a Gitea PAT for the Flux user that can create repositories by checking all permissions under `Select permissions`.
+
+If you want to use an existing repository, the Flux user must have `admin` permissions for that repository.
+
+Run the bootstrap for a repository owned by a Gitea organization:
+
+```sh
+flux bootstrap gitea \
+  `--token-auth` \
+  --owner=my-gitea-organization \
+  --repository=my-repository \
+  --branch=main \
+  --path=clusters/my-cluster
+```
+
+## Gitea Deploy Keys
+
+If you want to bootstrap Flux using SSH instead of HTTP/S, you can set `--token-auth=false` and the Flux CLI
+will use the Gitea PAT to set a deploy key for your repository.
+
+When using SSH, the bootstrap command will generate a SSH private key. The private key is stored
+in the cluster as a Kubernetes secret named `flux-system` inside the `flux-system` namespace.
+
+The generated SSH key defaults to `ECDSA P-384`, to change the format use `--ssh-key-algorithm` and `--ssh-ecdsa-curve`.
+
+The SSH public key, is used to create a Gitea deploy key.
+The deploy key is linked to the personal access token used to authenticate.
+
+By default, the Gitea deploy key is set to read-only access.
+If you're using Flux image automation, you must give it write access with `--read-write-key=true`.
+
+{{% alert color="info" title="Deploy Key rotation" %}}
+Note that when the PAT is removed or when it expires, the Gitea deploy key will stop working.
+To regenerate the deploy key, delete the `flux-system` secret from the cluster and re-run
+the bootstrap command using a valid Gitea PAT.
+{{% /alert %}}
+
+## Bootstrap without a Gitea PAT
+
+For existing Gitea repositories, you can bootstrap Flux over SSH without using a Gitea PAT.
+
+To use a SSH key instead of a Gitea PAT, the command changes to `flux bootstrap git`:
+
+```shell
+flux bootstrap git \
+  --url=ssh://git@gitea.com/<org>/<repository> \
+  --branch=<my-branch> \
+  --private-key-file=<path/to/ssh/private.key> \
+  --password=<key-passphrase> \
+  --path=clusters/my-cluster
+```
+
+**Note** that you must generate a SSH private key and set the public key as a deploy key on Gitea in advance.
+
+For more information on how to use the `flux bootstrap git` command,
+please see the generic Git server [documentation](generic-git-server.md).
