+## Gitea CI
+
+[.gitea/workflows/build.yaml](.gitea/workflows/build.yaml) builds the
+manager image and pushes it to this Gitea instance's container registry.
+It runs on **any tag push** or manually via **Run workflow** (with a `tag`
+input) — never on branch pushes. A lightweight `check` job (`go vet`,
+`go build`, `go test -short`) gates the build.
+
+Every build pushes two tags to
+`gitea.home.hrajfrisbee.cz/kacerr/egress-proxies-operator`:
+
+- the human tag (the git tag, or the dispatch input), and
+- an immutable `sha-<12-char-commit>` tag — pin deployments to this one.
+
+`:latest` is additionally updated on real tag pushes only, so a manual
+dispatch of an old ref can never clobber it. The commit is baked into the
+binary (`internal/version.Commit`) via the `GIT_COMMIT` build arg.
+
+### Mandatory Gitea secrets
+
+Set under **Settings → Actions → Secrets** in this repo:
+
+| Secret           | Required by                   | What it is                               |
+| ---------------- | ----------------------------- | ---------------------------------------- |
+| `REGISTRY_TOKEN` | `build.yaml` (registry login) | Gitea PAT with the `write:package` scope |
+
+The token is paired with `${{ github.actor }}` as the username, so it
+must belong to the user triggering the workflow — same convention as the
+other projects on this instance.
+
+Without `REGISTRY_TOKEN` the `check` job still passes but the build job
+fails at the `docker login` step. No other secrets are needed — the
+workflow does not deploy anywhere.
