+# gitea-mirror (Helm Chart)
+
+Deploy **gitea-mirror** to Kubernetes using Helm. The chart packages a Deployment, Service, optional Ingress or Gateway API HTTPRoutes, ConfigMap and Secret, a PVC (optional), and an optional ServiceAccount.
+
+- **Chart name:** `gitea-mirror`
+- **Type:** `application`
+- **App version:** `3.7.2` (default image tag, can be overridden)
+
+---
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Kubernetes 1.23+
+- Helm 3.8+
+- (Optional) Gateway API (v1) if you plan to use `route.*` HTTPRoutes, see https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/gateway-api/
+- (Optional) An Ingress controller if you plan to use `ingress.*`
+
+---
+
+## Quick start
+
+From the repo root (chart path: `helm/gitea-mirror`):
+
+```bash
+# Create a namespace (optional)
+kubectl create namespace gitea-mirror
+
+# Install with minimal required secrets/values
+helm upgrade --install gitea-mirror ./helm/gitea-mirror   --namespace gitea-mirror   --set "gitea-mirror.github.username=<your-gh-username>"   --set "gitea-mirror.github.token=<your-gh-token>"   --set "gitea-mirror.gitea.url=https://gitea.example.com"   --set "gitea-mirror.gitea.token=<your-gitea-token>"
+```
+
+The default Service is `ClusterIP` on port `8080`. You can expose it via Ingress or Gateway API; see below.
+
+---
+
+## Upgrading
+
+Standard Helm upgrade:
+
+```bash
+helm upgrade gitea-mirror ./helm/gitea-mirror -n gitea-mirror
+```
+
+If you change persistence settings or storage class, a rollout may require PVC recreation.
+
+---
+
+## Uninstalling
+
+```bash
+helm uninstall gitea-mirror -n gitea-mirror
+```
+
+If you enabled persistence with a PVC the data may persist; delete the PVC manually if you want a clean slate.
+
+---

+
+---
+
+## Exposing the service
+
+### Using Ingress
+
+```yaml
+ingress:
+  enabled: true
+  className: "nginx"
+  hosts:
+    - host: mirror.example.com
+  tls:
+    - secretName: mirror-tls
+      hosts:
+        - mirror.example.com
+```
+
+This creates an Ingress routing `/` to the service on port `8080`.
+
+### Using Gateway API (HTTPRoute)
+
+```yaml
+route:
+  enabled: true
+  domain: ["mirror.example.com"]
+  gateway: "my-gateway"
+  gatewayNamespace: "gateway-system"
+  http:
+    gatewaySection: "http"
+  https:
+    gatewaySection: "https"
+    # Example extra filter already included by default: add HSTS header
+```
+
+If `forceHTTPS: true`, the chart emits an HTTP route that redirects to HTTPS with 301. An HTTPS route is always created when `route.enabled=true`.
+
+---
+
+## Persistence & data
+
+By default, the chart provisions a PVC named `gitea-mirror-storage` with `1Gi` and mounts it at `/app/data`. To use an existing PV or tune storage, adjust `persistence.*` in `values.yaml`. If you disable persistence, an `emptyDir` will be used instead.
+
+---
+
+## Environment & health endpoints
+
+The container listens on `PORT` (defaults to `deployment.port` = `8080`) and exposes `GET /api/health` for liveness/readiness/startup probes.
+
+---
+
+## Examples
+
+### Minimal (tokens via chart-managed Secret)
+
+```yaml
+gitea-mirror:
+  github:
+    username: "gitea-mirror"
+    token: "<gh-token>"
+  gitea:
+    url: "https://gitea.company.tld"
+    token: "<gitea-token>"
+```
+
+### Bring your own Secret
+
+```yaml
+gitea-mirror:
+  existingSecret: "gitea-mirror-secrets"
+  github:
+    username: "gitea-mirror"
+  gitea:
+    url: "https://gitea.company.tld"
+```
+
+Where `gitea-mirror-secrets` contains keys `GITHUB_TOKEN`, `GITEA_TOKEN`, `ENCRYPTION_SECRET`.
+
+---
+
+## Development
+
+Lint the chart:
+
+```bash
+yamllint -c helm/gitea-mirror/.yamllint helm/gitea-mirror
+```
+
+Tweak probes, resources, and scheduling as needed; see `values.yaml`.
