Greetings!

I’m using Drone+Gitea (v.1.8.3) stack and just ran into a problem with automating the authorization process. To add an app I have to manually go to GUI (Settings => Applications), add the app through section “Manage OAuth2 Applications”, take the resulting ID and Secret for further usage in Drone. Authorization itself works fine, the problem is that I have lots of such Gitea instances, which are regularly created and deleted by scripts. So, without having a way of adding an app via API, I have to either add it manually on every Gitea instance, or use a rude INSERT into database. Is there a more graceful way, or maybe I’m missing something?

Thank you in advance.

Also, it'd be very good not only to create random credentials (as it now in Gitea UI). But also create your own - i.e. specify key and secret in API request.

PS: Are there any plans or milestone on this feature?

@n0guest There is no plan to do this.
