Since the container doesnt allow setting these

directly via ENV vars, i have to set them manually after ccontainer startup, that means there are some repos now where these content items have been missed syncing. Is there a way to tell the app to re-sync every single repo to fetch missing items and sync them?

Yes. Today the simplest recovery path is:

Enable the metadata options you want in Configuration.
Go to Repositories, select affected repos, and click Sync.
If some repos still miss metadata, clear metadata sync state and sync again:

sqlite3 data/gitea-mirror.db "UPDATE repositories SET metadata = NULL;"

That resets per-repo metadata completion flags so metadata steps run again on next sync.

I also opened a docs PR so this flow is captured in README: #180.

Implemented in #180: there is now a Re-run Metadata bulk button in Repositories. It clears metadata state for selected repos and starts Sync immediately (one click, no DB command needed).
