SQLite is used for data persistence, storing:
SQLite with Bun's native SQLite driver is used for data persistence, with Drizzle ORM providing type-safe database interactions. The database stores:
- User accounts and authentication data
- GitHub and Gitea configuration
- Repository and organization information
- Mirroring job history and status
- Event notifications and their read status

## Deployment Options
Gitea Mirror supports multiple deployment options:
1. **Docker**: Run as a containerized application using Docker and docker-compose
2. **LXC Containers**: Deploy in Linux Containers (LXC) on Proxmox VE or local workstations
3. **Native**: Run directly on the host system using Bun runtime
Each deployment method has its own advantages:
- **Docker**: Isolation, easy updates, consistent environment
- **LXC**: Lightweight virtualization, better performance than Docker, system-level isolation
- **Native**: Best performance, direct access to system resources

### Database Management
Gitea Mirror includes several database management tools that can be run from the command line:
```bash
# Initialize the database (only if it doesn't exist)
bun run init-db
# Check database status
bun run check-db
# Fix database location issues
bun run fix-db
# Reset all users (for testing signup flow)
bun run reset-users
# Remove database files completely
bun run cleanup-db
```
### Event Management
Events in Gitea Mirror (such as repository mirroring operations) are stored in the SQLite database. You can manage these events using the following scripts:
```bash
# View all events in the database
bun scripts/check-events.ts
# Clean up old events (default: older than 7 days)
bun scripts/cleanup-events.ts
# Mark all events as read
bun scripts/mark-events-read.ts
```
### Health Check Endpoint
Gitea Mirror includes a built-in health check endpoint at `/api/health` that provides:
- System status and uptime
- Database connectivity check
- Memory usage statistics
- Environment information
You can use this endpoint for monitoring your deployment:
```bash
# Basic check (returns 200 OK if healthy)
curl -I http://your-server:port/api/health
# Detailed health information (JSON)
curl http://your-server:port/api/health
```

### Using LXC Containers (Recommended for server deployments)
#### Proxmox VE (Online Installation)
For deploying on a Proxmox VE host with internet access:
```bash
# Optional env overrides: CTID HOSTNAME STORAGE DISK_SIZE CORES MEMORY BRIDGE IP_CONF
sudo bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/arunavo4/gitea-mirror/main/scripts/gitea-mirror-lxc-proxmox.sh)"
```
This script:
- Creates a privileged LXC container
- Installs Bun and dependencies
- Clones and builds the application
- Sets up a systemd service
#### Local LXD (Offline-friendly Installation)
For testing on a local workstation or in environments without internet access:
1. Clone the repository locally:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/arunavo4/gitea-mirror.git
```
2. Download the Bun installer once:
```bash
curl -L -o /tmp/bun-linux-x64.zip https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/releases/latest/download/bun-linux-x64.zip
```
3. Run the local LXC installer:
```bash
sudo LOCAL_REPO_DIR=~/path/to/gitea-mirror ./gitea-mirror/scripts/gitea-mirror-lxc-local.sh
```
For more details on LXC deployment, see the [LXC Container Deployment Guide](https://github.com/arunavo4/gitea-mirror/blob/main/scripts/README-lxc.md).
