Description

I am running gitea on a VM where I recently changed the IP of that machine. If l look into a repo for the clone URLs, the HTTP URL gets updated with the new IP of the machine. The SSH URL however retains the old URL, and there does not appear to be any way to change the IP for that, short of going to the server and manually fiddling with the settings in the repos.

My expectation is that both URLs should be in sync, and automatically update to the new IP address.

Gitea Version

1.22.3

Can you reproduce the bug on the Gitea demo site?

Have a look in your configuration file. There should be an entry with your old IP.

Very good catch, but it still doesn't explain why the HTTP URL was correct without that change, while the git URL wasn't. Also, all the configuration items didn't mention git, only HTTP.

For the specific problem at hand, I made the change, and the URL was correct after that. I should look into the manual to see where this requirement is being mentioned.

If you put only the

[server]
DOMAIN = ...

setting into your app.ini and drop your

[server]
SSH_DOMAIN = ...

it should use the server.DOMAIN setting to generate both links with the same domain.
