From e68aaa0c16362b0f2ea53b791e841f7b8dcbe959 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Gusted Date: Fri, 27 Jan 2023 01:07:33 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] [PRIVACY] Add a DNS method to fetch new updates - Use TXT records in order to determine the latest available version. - This addresses a valid privacy issue, as with HTTP requests the server can keep track(estimated) of how many instances are using Forgejo, with DNS that's basically not possible as the server will never receive any data, as the only ones receiving data are DNS resolvers. --- custom/conf/app.example.ini | 1 + .../doc/advanced/config-cheat-sheet.en-us.md | 1 + modules/updatechecker/update_checker.go | 60 ++++++++++++++++--- modules/updatechecker/update_checker_test.go | 16 +++++ services/cron/tasks_extended.go | 8 ++- 5 files changed, 76 insertions(+), 10 deletions(-) create mode 100644 modules/updatechecker/update_checker_test.go diff --git a/custom/conf/app.example.ini b/custom/conf/app.example.ini index 3ca49cf730..e9e2d1dd79 100644 --- a/custom/conf/app.example.ini +++ b/custom/conf/app.example.ini @@ -2112,6 +2112,7 @@ ROUTER = console ;ENABLE_SUCCESS_NOTICE = false ;SCHEDULE = @every 168h ;HTTP_ENDPOINT = https://dl.gitea.io/gitea/version.json +;DOMAIN_ENDPOINT = release.forgejo.org ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; diff --git a/docs/content/doc/advanced/config-cheat-sheet.en-us.md b/docs/content/doc/advanced/config-cheat-sheet.en-us.md index bb1ae7b4ab..acb545c57b 100644 --- a/docs/content/doc/advanced/config-cheat-sheet.en-us.md +++ b/docs/content/doc/advanced/config-cheat-sheet.en-us.md @@ -969,6 +969,7 @@ Default templates for project boards: - `ENABLE_SUCCESS_NOTICE`: **true**: Set to false to switch off success notices. - `SCHEDULE`: **@every 168h**: Cron syntax for scheduling a work, e.g. `@every 168h`. - `HTTP_ENDPOINT`: **https://dl.gitea.io/gitea/version.json**: the endpoint that Gitea will check for newer versions +- `DOMAIN_ENDPOINT`: **release.forgejo.org**: the domain that, if specified, Gitea will check for newer versions.
