Rootless docker documentation lists unmaintained tag
Gitea Version
1.27.3
What happened?
The Docker (rootless) installation instructions (https://docs.gitea.com/installation/install-with-docker-rootless/) mentions the following:
For a stable release you could use :latest-rootless, :1-rootless or specify a certain release like :1.27.3-rootless, but if you’d like to use the latest development version then :nightly-rootless would be an appropriate tag.
However inspecting the :nightly-rootless tag with crane shows that this version hasn't been updated for over a year:
$ crane config docker.gitea.com/gitea:nightly-rootless | jq -r '.created'
2025-08-23T22:40:08.195531681Z
This should be changed to the updated :main-nightly-rootless tag:
$ crane config docker.gitea.com/gitea:main-nightly-rootless | jq -r '.created'
2026-09-12T17:34:30.565979009Z
How are you running Gitea?
I've been running the unmaintained :nightly-rootless tag on my end for over a year now and just switched to :latest-rootless. I'm not sure why I was using the nightly version in the first place, but this should still be changed quickly to avoid people running a severely outdated gitea version.
