Gitea / Gogs plugin

[alexanderadam]

This is the sequel of the Sentry plugin issue 145

Summary

Add a plugin, that is similar to the GitLab/GitHub/BitBucket integration, for Gitea/Gogs.

Motivation

Gitea and Gogs are git services like GitLab or Bitbucket. They are popular self-hosted and resource friendly alternatives and you will find various instances in the web.

It is obviously useful to integrate Sentry with Gitea/Gogs for companies, universities and other organisations that are hosting their instances.

Until this is fixed, no Gitea/Gogs user can't fulfil what Sentry is suggesting: linking to a repo.

Additional Context

Gitea vs GoGS API

Gitea is a fork of GoGS and Gitea has nowadays about 3'000 patches on top of GoGS, more maintainers, more functionality and bugs fixed that are still present in GoGS (that's the reason why I switched once). So if you are running in some API bug, you should keep that in mind.

Testing & developing against an API

Also you can simply test the API integration on the official test instance at https://try.gitea.io/. There you can also find the Swagger API definition. As you can see, JSON and HTTP are protocol wise the only requirements but there are also various ready-to-use Swagger libraries for Python.

If you rather want to use a local Gitea instance, you might want to use the official Docker image (there's also a docker-compose.yml provided that you can use).

There's also more on API authorisation in the documentation.

PS: People reading this, might also be interested in this issue (a Sentry webhook for Gitea).

Hey @alexanderadam, unfortunately, we don't have the bandwidth to write and support this integration today, nor do we have this on our roadmap.

You still have an option though. You could enable releases and suspect commits using this method.

[github-actions]

This issue has gone three weeks without activity. In another week, I will close it.

But! If you comment or otherwise update it, I will reset the clock, and if you label it Status: Accepted, I will leave it alone ... forever!

What a pity

[BYK]

@manuzope is this backlog then?

[getsantry]

Routing to @getsentry/product-owners-settings-integrations for triage ⏲️

[aliakseiz]

Any update on this?

[sentaur-athena]

No, this is still in the backlog and not planned right now.

[holtwick]

That's really sad. They have a fine API https://docs.gitea.com/api/#tag/issue/operation/issueCreateIssue

Any way the community may contribute to this? Or is there some generic interface?

[sentaur-athena]

@holtwick good point. There are definitely ways for community to participate, especially if issue creation and syncs are the features you care most about.

You can build an integration using Sentry's Integration Platform. You can also then request it to be published to be available to all Sentry users.

[TaaviE]

I guess this issue should also include Forgejo support, if the APIs aren't drastically different..

[sentaur-athena]

This is not in our near term roadmap.

[KaKi87]

Is this even in your long-term roadmap ?

[sentaur-athena]

@KaKi87 unfortunately this is not on roadmap as long as I can see. We have many in house integrations and their maintenance load doesn't let the team build any new integrations. I recommend following up on the ticket @holtwick created: go-gitea/gitea#34371

We also always welcome community contributions 🙏
