createdb -h localhost -U gitea -T template0 testdb

Restore the old db to new db

psql -U gitea testdb -f giteadb.sql

Drop the test db after the test

dropdb testdb

Run the upgrade doctor

/usr/bin/gitea -c /mnt/volumes/configmaps/gitea.ini doctor \
  recreate-table project system_setting

JWT secrets

The container entrypoint reads JWT secrets from files so they can be provided via mounted Kubernetes/OpenShift secrets (or Docker secrets) instead of placing them directly in app.ini.

Secret	Default file path	Environment override
Core JWT secret	/mnt/volumes/secrets/jwt-secret	JWT_SECRET_FILE
LFS JWT secret	/mnt/volumes/secrets/lfs-jwt-secret	LFS_JWT_SECRET_FILE
OAuth2 JWT secret	/mnt/volumes/secrets/oauth2-jwt-secret	OAUTH2_JWT_SECRET_FILE

If GITEA__security__<secret> variables are already set they take precedence; otherwise, the entrypoint exports the values from the files (stripping trailing newlines) before launching Gitea.
