Previously both compose files defaulted GITEA_ADMIN_PASSWORD to empty,
and scripts/gitea-init.sh silently skipped admin creation on blank input.
If config.sh failed to propagate the password (e.g. Docs Comments not
enabled, or --admin-password omitted), fresh installs ended up with a
Gitea container running but zero users — and the admin GUI's Gitea setup
wizard had no token to progress.
Changes:
- docker-compose.yml + docker-compose.prod.yml: GITEA_ADMIN_PASSWORD now
falls back to INITIAL_ADMIN_PASSWORD when unset
- .env.example: declare GITEA_ADMIN_PASSWORD= with explanatory comment so
users discover the override
- scripts/gitea-init.sh: silent skip becomes a loud WARN so a broken
config is visible in compose logs

- Use --must-change-password=false (equals syntax) in gitea CLI
The space-separated form was parsed as boolean flag + extra arg
- Fix auto-setup readiness check: use Basic Auth instead of
unauthenticated /version endpoint (blocked by REQUIRE_SIGNIN_VIEW)
- Increase retries to 8 to accommodate gitea-init container startup

The previous approach (custom CMD on gitea-app) failed because:
- Gitea's entrypoint generates app.ini as root, then drops to git user
- Overriding CMD ran our script before app.ini was generated
- su-exec to git user lost access to the entrypoint-generated config
Now uses the same pattern as nocodb-init: a separate container that
depends on gitea-app being healthy, shares the gitea-data volume
(which has app.ini), and runs gitea admin user create.

The Gitea Docker entrypoint sets up directories as root then exec's
the CMD still as root. Gitea refuses to run as root, so our init
script must re-exec itself as the 'git' user via su-exec before
running any gitea commands.

- Add scripts/gitea-init.sh: runs migrations + creates admin user on
first boot, replacing the manual installation wizard
- Set GITEA__security__INSTALL_LOCK=true in both compose files
- Add NocoDB auth bridge (nginx) + /api/services/nocodb-auth proxy
endpoint so the admin iframe auto-authenticates
- Update NocoDBPage.tsx to fetch token and use auth bridge flow
- Fix docker-compose.prod.yml missing Gitea env vars for API container
(GITEA_URL, GITEA_API_TOKEN, GITEA_ADMIN_PASSWORD, etc.)
- Pass NC_ADMIN_EMAIL/PASSWORD to API for NocoDB auth proxy
- Increase Gitea auto-setup retries from 3 to 6 with admin auth check
- Update config.sh non-interactive mode to set GITEA_ADMIN_USER
- Include gitea-init.sh in release tarball (build-release.sh)
