deploy/gitea: Gitea behind traefik, rproxy and servewaf, with its test (closes #178)

deploy/gitea/compose.yaml runs traefik, stock Gitea 1.27.3, rproxy and
servewaf on one network with a fixed subnet. Its containers skip
servewaf's checks; the network's gateway is left out of that range.
rproxy takes uploads of 2 GiB and 30 minutes, and cuts responses at 15
minutes. script/gitea-setup (make gitea-setup) brings the setup up and
checks it. docs/gitea.md is rewritten around the setup.

Judgement call: the Core Rule Set runs in detect mode, so it refuses nothing.
Judgement call: traefik serves its own certificate; no certificate resolver.
Partially verified: the image build failed three runs on Ubuntu's snapshot
service, so the checks ran only against a stand-in image with the same binary.

 # smallwebwaf in front of gitea
 
-These notes record what `smallwebwaf` does in front of gitea at the default
+`deploy/gitea/compose.yaml` runs gitea behind traefik, with `rproxy` and
-settings. They are observations, not requirements; the requirements are in
+`servewaf` in front of it. This document says what that setup sets and why, and
-[`SPEC.md`](../SPEC.md). `script/gitea-requests` runs gitea behind `rproxy` and
+what the defaults would do without it. [`SPEC.md`](../SPEC.md) says how
-`servewaf`, and sends through them a sample of gitea's ordinary use and the
+`smallwebwaf` behaves.
+
+## The setup
+
+Four containers share one Docker network, the shared network:
+
+- traefik, which routes the site's HTTPS requests to `rproxy`, and redirects
+  plain HTTP to HTTPS;
+- `rproxy`, in front of gitea;
+- gitea 1.27.3, as its image comes;
+- `servewaf`, with a volume for its state files.
+
+To start it:
+
+1. In `deploy/gitea/compose.yaml`, replace `git.example.org` with the site's
+   host name.
+2. Replace each `10.99.0` with the first three numbers of a `/24` subnet that no
+   other network on the host uses.
+3. Set `SMALLWEBWAF_IMAGE` to the `smallwebwaf` image, named by digest.
+4. Run `docker compose up --detach` in `deploy/gitea`.
+5. Make gitea's first user with `gitea admin user create`, in gitea's container,
+   as the user `git`.
+
+gitea starts at its defaults, with SQLite, instead of showing its install page
+to whoever opens it first. traefik answers with a certificate it made itself
+until you add a certificate resolver, as for your other sites. SSH to gitea does
+not pass through `smallwebwaf`; publish gitea's SSH port yourself if you use it.
+
+`make gitea-setup` checks the setup. It builds the image, brings the setup up
+under a name of its own, and checks:
+
+- that a page load, a push and a clone sent through traefik pass through
+  `rproxy`, and that `servewaf` checks them;
+- that gitea logs the visitor's address, not `rproxy`'s;
+- that a request from a container on the shared network skips the checks;
+- that with `servewaf` stopped, gitea still answers through `rproxy`.
+
+## Uploads and downloads
+
+An upload is a request:
+
+- a git push;
+- an LFS object;
+- a container image layer;
+- a package file;
+- a release attachment.
+
+The setup lets an upload of up to 2 GiB, sent in up to 30 minutes, through:
+
+- `SWRP_MAX_REQUEST_SIZE` is `2G`. At the default, an upload over 100 MiB is cut
+  off.
+- `SWRP_MAX_REQUEST_TIME_MS` is `1800000`, 30 minutes. At the default, an upload
+  that takes over 60 seconds is cut off.
+- traefik's `readTimeout` is 30 minutes. traefik's own default of 60 seconds for
+  a whole request would cut off an upload first.
+
+A clone or a download is a response:
+
+- `SWRP_MAX_RESPONSE_TIME_MS` is `900000`, 15 minutes, half the default. A clone
+  or download that takes longer is cut off.
+- `SWRP_MAX_RESPONSE_SIZE` stays at its default, 1 GiB. A repository whose clone
+  is larger needs it raised, and the byte limits with it ("Byte limits, per
+  client" in `SPEC.md`).
+
+The byte limits stay at their defaults. Two uploads of 2 GiB from one address in
+one minute pass the minute's limit of 4 GiB, and ban the address.
+
+## The checks
+
+`SWWAF_WAF_MODE` is `detect`. The Core Rule Set then logs a match, with its rule
+ids, and refuses nothing. In `block` mode, the default, it refuses everyday
+gitea searches and file names, which "What the Core Rule Set refuses in `block`
+mode" below lists. Each such refusal counts toward the error burst, so 31 in one
+minute ban the address.
+
+Every other check stays at its default. A client may make 500 requests a minute,
+20,000 an hour and 300,000 a day. Archive downloads and blame and history pages
+are what scrapers hammer, and these limits do most of the work there.
+
+## The shared network
+
+Containers on the shared network skip `servewaf`'s checks:
+
+- The shared network's subnet is `10.99.0.0/24`. Docker gives its containers
+  addresses in the upper half, `10.99.0.128/25`, which `SWWAF_ALLOW_NETS` names.
+- traefik is known on the shared network by the site's host name. So a container
+  there that asks for the site reaches traefik from its own address. An
+  automation fleet in such a container skips the checks.
+- The network's gateway, `10.99.0.1`, is the host's own address on it. Requests
+  docker passes on from a published port can come from it, such as those of
+  visitors over IPv6. So the gateway is left out of `SWWAF_ALLOW_NETS`.
+- A container on the shared network that asks for the site at the host's public
+  address arrives from the gateway. It is checked like any visitor.
+- A fleet on another host can have its address added to `SWWAF_ALLOW_NETS`.
+  Without that, the default request limits are sized for such a fleet.
+- traefik replaces the `X-Forwarded-For` a visitor sends, by default. Keep it
+  so: otherwise a visitor could name an address on the shared network, and skip
+  the checks.
+- Anything on the shared network can reach gitea and `servewaf` around `rproxy`.
+  Put only containers you trust on it.
+
+## gitea's settings
+
+- `REVERSE_PROXY_TRUSTED_PROXIES` names `rproxy`'s fixed address, `10.99.0.2`.
+  gitea then takes each visitor's address from the `X-Real-Ip` header, which
+  traefik sets and `rproxy` passes on. Without it, gitea logs every visitor as
+  `rproxy`.
+- `INSTALL_LOCK` is `true`, as "The setup" above says.
+
+## Methods
+
+`rproxy` passes on only these methods: `GET`, `HEAD`, `POST`, `OPTIONS`, `PUT`,
+`DELETE`, `PATCH` and `QUERY`. gitea 1.27.3 needs no other. Its routes use:
+
+- pages and the API: `GET`, `HEAD`, `POST`, `PUT`, `PATCH` and `DELETE`;
+- git's push, clone and fetch over HTTP: `GET`, `POST` and `OPTIONS`;
+- LFS: `GET`, `POST` and `PUT`;
+- the container registry and the other package registries: `GET`, `HEAD`,
+  `POST`, `PUT`, `PATCH` and `DELETE`;
+- Actions runners: `POST`.
+
+## The log
+
+`rproxy` and `servewaf` write each query string to the log whole. A token sent
+in the query string, as `?token=`, is then in the log. Send it in the
+`Authorization` header instead.
+
+## Actions runners
+
+A runner on the shared network skips the checks. One on another host is counted
+like any client. A runner older than version 0.4 (April 2026) asks for work
+every 2 seconds, 43,200 requests a day. While it runs a job, it reports the
+job's log and state every second instead, two requests a second. So one runner
+busy all day sends 120 requests a minute and 172,800 a day, under the request
+limits.
+
+Several runners on one address can pass them:
+
+- Two busy all day make 345,600 requests, and pass the day limit of 300,000.
+- Three busy at once make 21,600 an hour, and pass the hour limit of 20,000.
+- Five busy at once make 600 a minute, and pass the minute limit of 500.
+
+Their address is then banned, their running jobs fail, and each repeat within a
+day makes the ban longer. Newer runners ask for work less often. Put the
+runners' addresses in `SWWAF_RATE_LIMIT_EXEMPT_NETS`.
