- Move all Gitea configuration from docker-compose.yml environment variables to app.ini
- Enable Redis cache with proper connection string format (redis://)
- Fix Redis password to use Gitea Redis instance password (gitea_redis_password) instead of application Redis stack password
- Add database connection pool settings to prevent timeout errors
- Configure Redis for cache, session, and queue using app.ini
- Update Ansible task to use correct Redis password for Gitea Redis instance
Benefits:
- Cache now works correctly (environment variables had a bug in Gitea 1.25)
- All settings are versioned in Git
- Better maintainability and reliability
- Configuration follows Gitea documentation recommendations
- Set traefik_auto_restart: false in group_vars to prevent automatic restarts after config deployment
- Set traefik_ssl_restart: false to prevent automatic restarts during SSL certificate setup
- Set gitea_auto_restart: false to prevent automatic restarts when healthcheck fails
- Modify traefik/tasks/ssl.yml to only restart if explicitly requested or acme.json was created
- Modify traefik/tasks/config.yml to respect traefik_auto_restart flag
- Modify gitea/tasks/restart.yml to respect gitea_auto_restart flag
- Add verify-traefik-fix.yml playbook to monitor Traefik stability
This fixes the issue where Traefik was restarting every minute due to
automatic restart mechanisms triggered by config deployments and health checks.
The restart loops caused 504 Gateway Timeouts for Gitea and other services.
Fixes: Traefik restart loop causing service unavailability
