Repository mirroring with private targets Forgejo 2.x allows a repository to push changes automatically to an external URL. When the target is a private repository, an access token must be supplied in the URL, e.g. https://token@host/path.git . The mirroring configuration accepts this form, but the documentation does not describe how the token is stored, pro
Goal Prevent unauthenticated clients from publishing to any subject while using JetStream’s ACL configuration. Current Constraint The NATS server treats an unauthenticated connection as the special public user. If the ACL file does not contain an explicit deny rule for this user, the default behavior is permissive—any client can publish to any subject. Unres
Preventing Accidental Public Access in k6 Cloud Tests When running k6 load tests that target the cloud service, there's a risk of unintentionally exposing test scripts and results publicly. The k6 cloud command makes tests visible by default unless explicitly configured otherwise. Two documented approaches exist for preventing this exposure: using the K6_CLO
