Feature request: Template editor

[elaine-jackson]

Unlike people who install from source, docker-compose users do not have a way to edit their templates (e.g. the german impressum, custom front page, etc). It'd be nice to have a simple template editor in the admin panel or even having templates accessible to compose users as another sort of config file. Thoughts?

(Using the docker-compose from the Docs)

The custom folder referenced in the "Customization" docs page is located at /data/gitea inside the offical Docker image:

gitea/Dockerfile

Line 52 in 96f1720

ENV GITEA_CUSTOM /data/gitea

The offical docker-compose file mounts the local folder ./gitea to /data:

gitea/docs/content/doc/installation/with-docker.en-us.md

Lines 52 to 53 in 96f1720

	volumes:
	- ./gitea:/data

That means you can place the templates in the local folder ./gitea/gitea/templates/footer.tmpl (inside the container this file will have the path /data/gitea/templates/footer.tmpl)

That said, your feature request for a Template Editor is still valid.

Did this change? Is it no longer valid or closed to inactivity?

Closed as templates can be changed for docker, and as for legal pages such as you mentioned we have a specific document https://docs.gitea.io/en-us/adding-legal-pages/ this what codeberg.org is doing
