Description

I'm running a Gitea instance inside a Docker container. While the SSH connection works in general, the passthrough as described in the docs does not work, because the file /app/gitea/gitea does not exist on the host. As I don't want to create that path on the host, I'd like to specify an alternative path to the script with the content described in the docs, e.g. /home/git/handle-gitea-ssh.sh.

A new environment variable would probably be suited for this, for example:

[server]
SSH_AUTHORIZED_KEYS_HANDLER=/home/git/handle-gitea-ssh.sh

The changes in the code would probably have to be made here:

e7fc078891/models/ssh_key.go (L89-L92)

The result should look like this:

- command="/app/gitea/gitea --config=/data/gitea/conf/app.ini serv key-2" ...
+ command="/home/git/handle-gitea-ssh.sh --config=/data/gitea/conf/app.ini serv key-2" ...

I'd probably open a PR by myself, but I don't know any Go 😄

Exactly what I wanted too. I don't want to create the script at a location outside the git home directory and possibly mess up when I do a migration in future.
