Unlike people who install from source, docker-compose users do not have a way to edit their templates (e.g. the german impressum, custom front page, etc). It'd be nice to have a simple template editor in the admin panel or even having templates accessible to compose users as another sort of config file. Thoughts?

(Using the docker-compose from the Docs)

The custom folder referenced in the "Customization" docs page is located at /data/gitea inside the offical Docker image: 96f1720d69/Dockerfile (L52)

The offical docker-compose file mounts the local folder ./gitea to /data:

96f1720d69/docs/content/doc/installation/with-docker.en-us.md (L52-L53)

That means you can place the templates in the local folder ./gitea/gitea/templates/footer.tmpl (inside the container this file will have the path /data/gitea/templates/footer.tmpl)

That said, your feature request for a Template Editor is still valid.

Closed as templates can be changed for docker, and as for legal pages such as you mentioned we have a specific document https://docs.gitea.io/en-us/adding-legal-pages/ this what codeberg.org is doing
