+# Gitea Authentication Setup for BeardedTek
+
+This guide will help you set up Sveltia CMS with your Gitea instance at `https://git.beardedtek.com`.
+
+## ✅ Current Configuration
+
+Your Sveltia CMS is now configured to use:
+- **Gitea Instance**: `https://git.beardedtek.com`
+- **Repository**: `beardedtek/flowbite-beardedtek.com`
+- **Backend**: GitLab (compatible with Gitea)
+- **API Endpoint**: `https://git.beardedtek.com/api/v1`
+- **Auth Endpoint**: `https://git.beardedtek.com/login/oauth/authorize`
+
+## 🔧 Setup Steps
+
+### 1. Create Gitea OAuth Application
+
+1. **Login to your Gitea instance**:
+   - Go to `https://git.beardedtek.com`
+   - Login with your account
+
+2. **Create OAuth App**:
+   - Go to Settings → Applications
+   - Click "Create new OAuth application"
+   - Fill in the details:
+     - **Application Name**: `Sveltia CMS`
+     - **Redirect URIs**: `https://beardedtek.com/admin/` (or your domain)
+     - **Scopes**: Select `repo` and `user:email`
+
+3. **Save the credentials**:
+   - Copy the **Client ID**
+   - Copy the **Client Secret**
+
+### 2. Environment Variables
+
+Add these environment variables to your deployment:
+
+```bash
+OAUTH_CLIENT_ID=your_gitea_client_id
+OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET=your_gitea_client_secret
+```
+
+### 3. Repository Access
+
+Ensure your Gitea OAuth app has access to:
+- Repository: `beardedtek/flowbite-beardedtek.com`
+- Permissions: Read and write access
+
+## 🚀 Testing
+
+### Local Development
+1. Run `hugo server`
+2. Visit `http://localhost:1313/admin/`
+3. You should see the Gitea login option
+
+### Production
+1. Deploy your site with the environment variables
+2. Visit `https://beardedtek.com/admin/`
+3. Click "Login with Gitea"
+
+## 🔍 Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+1. **"Invalid redirect URI"**:
+   - Make sure the redirect URI in Gitea matches your site URL exactly
+   - Include the trailing slash: `https://beardedtek.com/admin/`
+
+2. **"Repository not found"**:
+   - Verify the repo name is correct: `beardedtek/flowbite-beardedtek.com`
+   - Ensure the OAuth app has repository access
+
+3. **"Authentication failed"**:
+   - Check that environment variables are set correctly
+   - Verify Client ID and Secret are correct
+
+### Debug Steps
+
+1. **Check Gitea API**:
+   - Visit `https://git.beardedtek.com/api/v1/version`
+   - Should return Gitea version info
+
+2. **Test OAuth Flow**:
+   - Try logging in manually at `https://git.beardedtek.com/login/oauth/authorize`
+   - Verify your OAuth app appears in the list
+
+3. **Check Repository Access**:
+   - Ensure your user has write access to the repository
+   - Check repository permissions in Gitea
+
+## 📋 Configuration Files
+
+### Main Config (`static/admin/config.yml`)
+```yaml
+backend:
+  name: gitlab
+  repo: beardedtek/flowbite-beardedtek.com
+  branch: main
+  base_url: https://git.beardedtek.com/api/v1
+  auth_endpoint: https://git.beardedtek.com/login/oauth/authorize
+```
+
+### Environment Variables Needed
+```bash
+OAUTH_CLIENT_ID=your_client_id_here
+OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET=your_client_secret_here
+```
+
+## 🎯 Next Steps
+
+1. **Create the OAuth app** in your Gitea instance
+2. **Set environment variables** in your deployment
+3. **Test locally** with `hugo server`
+4. **Deploy to production** and test the full flow
+
+## 📞 Support
+
+If you encounter issues:
+1. Check the Gitea logs for authentication errors
+2. Verify all URLs and credentials are correct
+3. Test the OAuth flow manually in your browser
+4. Check that your repository exists and is accessible
+
+Your Sveltia CMS is now ready to use with Gitea authentication!

+- **Site Config**: Edit `config.yml`
+
+## Authentication Setup
+
+### Gitea OAuth (Self-hosted Git)
+This site is configured to use Gitea authentication with your instance at `https://git.beardedtek.com`:
+
+1. **Create a Gitea OAuth App**:
+   - Go to `https://git.beardedtek.com` → Settings → Applications
+   - Create a new OAuth App
+   - Set Redirect URI to `https://beardedtek.com/admin/`
+   - Note your Client ID and Client Secret
+
+2. **Environment Variables**:
+   - Set `OAUTH_CLIENT_ID` to your Gitea OAuth Client ID
+   - Set `OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET` to your Gitea OAuth Client Secret
+
+3. **Repository Access**:
+   - Ensure your OAuth app has access to `beardedtek/flowbite-beardedtek.com`
+   - Verify write permissions are enabled
+
+### Local Development (No Authentication)
+For development or testing:
+
+- The CMS is configured with `local_backend: true`
+- No authentication required for local development
+- Simply run `hugo server` and visit `/admin/`
+
+## File Structure Created
+
+```
+static/
+├── admin/
+│   ├── config.yml          # Gitea CMS configuration
+│   └── index.html          # Admin panel HTML
+└── images/
+    └── uploads/            # Media uploads directory
+
+content/
+└── admin/
+    └── _index.md           # Admin page redirect
+```
+
+## Customization
+
+### Adding New Collections
+Edit `static/admin/config.yml` to add new content types:
+
+```yaml
+- name: "new_collection"
+  label: "New Collection"
+  folder: "content/new-section"
+  create: true
+  fields:
+    - {label: "Title", name: "title", widget: "string"}
+    - {label: "Body", name: "body", widget: "markdown"}
+```
+
+### Changing Media Upload Location
+Update these lines in `static/admin/config.yml`:
+
+```yaml
+media_folder: "static/images/uploads"
+public_folder: "/images/uploads"
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Local Backend Issues
+If you encounter issues with the local backend:
+1. Make sure you're running Hugo locally
+2. Check that the `static/admin/` directory exists
+3. Verify the config.yml syntax is correct
+
+### Authentication Issues
+1. **Gitea OAuth**: Verify your Gitea instance URL and OAuth app configuration
+2. **Local Development**: Make sure `local_backend: true` is set in config.yml
+3. **Repo Access**: Ensure your OAuth app has proper repository access permissions
+4. **Environment Variables**: Check that `OAUTH_CLIENT_ID` and `OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET` are set correctly
+
+## Next Steps
+
+1. **Test Locally**: Run `hugo server` and visit `/admin/`
+2. **Deploy**: Push your changes to your Git repository
+3. **Configure Netlify**: Set up Identity and deployment settings
+4. **Invite Users**: Add team members to manage content
