ARUNAVO RAYandGitHub 68b493292e docs(www): sources, destinations, API and reconcile pages for 3.31 (#387)
Four new documentation pages (sources, destinations, API and API keys, cleanup and reconcile), updates to the configuration, environment variables, quickstart, architecture and advanced pages, refreshed configuration screenshots and new ones for the destination dropdown and the API keys card. Also fixes the path prefix variable name in docs/API.md and the stale follow-up note in docs/SOURCE_PROVIDERS.md.

# Gitea Mirror Documentation
This folder contains engineering and operations references for the open-source Gitea Mirror project. Each guide focuses on the parts of the system that still require bespoke explanation beyond the in-app help and the main `README.md`.
## Available Guides
### Core workflow
- **[DEVELOPMENT_WORKFLOW.md](./DEVELOPMENT_WORKFLOW.md)** – Set up a local environment, run scripts, and understand the repo layout (app + marketing site).
- **[ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLES.md](./ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLES.md)** – Complete reference for every configuration flag supported by the app and Docker images.
- **[NIX_DEPLOYMENT.md](./NIX_DEPLOYMENT.md)** – User-facing deployment guide for Nix and NixOS.
- **[NIX_DISTRIBUTION.md](./NIX_DISTRIBUTION.md)** – Maintainer notes for packaging, releases, and distribution strategy.
### Reliability & recovery
- **[GRACEFUL_SHUTDOWN.md](./GRACEFUL_SHUTDOWN.md)** – How signal handling, shutdown coordination, and job persistence work in v3.
- **[RECOVERY_IMPROVEMENTS.md](./RECOVERY_IMPROVEMENTS.md)** – Deep dive into the startup recovery workflow and supporting scripts.
### Authentication
- **[SSO-OIDC-SETUP.md](./SSO-OIDC-SETUP.md)** – Configure OIDC/SSO providers through the admin UI.
- **[SSO_TESTING.md](./SSO_TESTING.md)** – Recipes for local and staging SSO testing (Google, Keycloak, mock providers).
### API
- **[API.md](./API.md)** – Create API keys and call the app from scripts, CI pipelines and workflow tools.
### Sources and destinations
- **[SOURCE_PROVIDERS.md](./SOURCE_PROVIDERS.md)** – GitHub, GitLab and Gitea/Forgejo as sources: tokens, what each can mirror, the source lock.
- **[PUSH_TARGETS.md](./PUSH_TARGETS.md)** – GitHub and GitLab as destinations: how the push engine works, token scopes, disk usage, what is not mirrored.
The user-facing documentation lives on the website at <https://gitea-mirror.raylabs.io/docs/>, with its sources under `www/src/pages/docs/`. If you are looking for playbooks, see the MDX use cases under `www/src/pages/use-cases/`.
## Quick start for local development
```bash
git clone https://github.com/RayLabsHQ/gitea-mirror.git
cd gitea-mirror
bun run setup # installs deps and seeds the SQLite DB
bun run dev # starts the Astro/Bun app on http://localhost:4321
```
The first user you create locally becomes the administrator. All other configuration—GitHub owners, Gitea targets, scheduling, cleanup—is done through the **Configuration** screen in the UI.
