+# Podcastrr - Forgejo Integration Changes
+
+This document summarizes the changes made to integrate Podcastrr with Forgejo for CI/CD and container registry functionality.
+
+## Files Created
+
+1. **`.drone.yml`**
+   - CI/CD pipeline configuration for Forgejo
+   - Includes steps for testing, building Docker images, and notifications
+   - Automatically builds and pushes Docker images on pushes to the main branch
+
+2. **`README_FORGEJO.md`**
+   - Comprehensive guide for setting up and using Podcastrr with Forgejo
+   - Includes instructions for repository setup, secrets configuration, and using the Docker image
+
+3. **`docker-compose.override.yml.example`**
+   - Template for local customization of Docker Compose setup
+   - Provides examples for development-specific settings
+
+## Files Updated
+
+1. **`.gitignore`**
+   - Added Docker-specific entries
+   - Added common Python patterns
+
+2. **`.env.example`**
+   - Updated for Docker compatibility (Linux-style paths)
+   - Added Forgejo-specific configuration variables
+   - Set production as the default environment
+
+3. **`docker-compose.yml`**
+   - Made it more flexible for Forgejo integration
+   - Added environment variable interpolation with defaults
+   - Added commented options for using Forgejo registry
+
+## Next Steps
+
+1. **Set up your Forgejo repository**
+   - Follow the instructions in `README_FORGEJO.md`
+
+2. **Configure CI/CD secrets**
+   - Add the required secrets to your Forgejo repository settings
+
+3. **Customize for your environment**
+   - Copy `.env.example` to `.env` and update with your settings
+   - Copy `docker-compose.override.yml.example` to `docker-compose.override.yml` for local customization
+
+4. **Push to Forgejo**
+   - The CI/CD pipeline will automatically build and push your Docker image
+
+5. **Pull and run the Docker image**
+   - Use the commands in `README_FORGEJO.md` to pull and run your Docker image
+
+## Additional Information
+
+- The Docker image is built using the existing Dockerfile, which was already well-configured
+- The CI/CD pipeline includes testing to ensure code quality
+- The Docker Compose setup allows for both local development and production deployment

+# Podcastrr - Forgejo Integration Guide
+
+This guide explains how to set up and use Podcastrr with Forgejo for CI/CD and container registry integration.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- A Forgejo instance with:
+  - CI/CD capabilities (Drone integration)
+  - Container registry enabled
+- Docker and Docker Compose installed on your local machine
+- Git installed on your local machine
+
+## Setup
+
+### 1. Repository Setup
+
+1. Create a new repository in your Forgejo instance
+2. Push this codebase to your new repository:
+   ```bash
+   git init
+   git add .
+   git commit -m "Initial commit"
+   git remote add origin https://your-forgejo-instance.com/username/podcastrr.git
+   git push -u origin main
+   ```
+
+### 2. Secrets Configuration
+
+In your Forgejo repository settings, add the following secrets:
+
+- `docker_username`: Your Forgejo username or container registry username
+- `docker_password`: Your Forgejo password or container registry password
+- `webhook_url` (optional): URL for build notifications
+
+### 3. Environment Variables
+
+Configure the following environment variables in your Forgejo CI/CD settings:
+
+- `DRONE_REGISTRY`: Your Forgejo container registry URL (e.g., `registry.your-forgejo-instance.com`)
+
+## CI/CD Pipeline
+
+The included `.drone.yml` file defines a CI/CD pipeline that:
+
+1. Runs tests on every push and pull request
+2. Builds and pushes a Docker image to your container registry on pushes to the main branch
+3. Sends notifications about build status (if configured)
+
+## Using the Docker Image
+
+### Pulling from Forgejo Container Registry
+
+```bash
+docker pull registry.your-forgejo-instance.com/username/podcastrr:latest
+```
+
+### Running with Docker Compose
+
+1. Create a `.env` file with your configuration (see `.env.example`)
+2. Update the `docker-compose.yml` file to use your image:
+
+```yaml
+version: '3.8'
+
+services:
+  app:
+    image: registry.your-forgejo-instance.com/username/podcastrr:latest
+    ports:
+      - "5000:5000"
+    volumes:
+      - ./downloads:/app/downloads
+      - ./instance:/app/instance
+    environment:
+      - FLASK_ENV=production
+      - SECRET_KEY=change_this_to_a_secure_random_string
+      - DATABASE_URI=sqlite:///instance/podcastrr.db
+      - DOWNLOAD_PATH=/app/downloads
+      - LOG_LEVEL=INFO
+    restart: unless-stopped
+```
+
+3. Run the application:
+
+```bash
+docker-compose up -d
+```
+
+## Building Locally
+
+If you want to build the Docker image locally:
+
+```bash
+docker build -t podcastrr:local .
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+- **CI/CD Pipeline Failures**: Check the build logs in Forgejo for detailed error messages
+- **Container Registry Issues**: Ensure your Forgejo instance has the container registry enabled and you have proper permissions
+- **Docker Image Not Found**: Verify the image name and tag in your docker-compose.yml file
+

+- [Docker Documentation](https://docs.docker.com/)
