Idempotent end-to-end Gitea bootstrap for Azure VM (or any Linux host
with Docker available). Replaces manual SSH-and-paste workflow.
Steps (each skippable on re-run):
1. Install Docker via official script (skip with --skip-docker)
2. Write /etc/gitea/docker-compose.yml with package registry enabled
3. Start gitea container, wait for HTTP :3300
4. Create admin user via 'gitea admin user create' (CLI inside container,
no auth bootstrap needed)
5. Create npm-user (learning_ai_user) via admin API
6. Mint npm-scoped token with write:package + read:package
Two execution modes:
- On the VM directly: scp + ssh + run
- Locally targeting remote: --ssh-host azureuser@vm
Outputs npm token to --output FILE or stdout. Prints copy-paste-ready
command for writing to ~/.gitea_npm_token_home on the workstation.
Final summary prints the doctor.sh verification command so user can
confirm registry reachability from their laptop in one step.
--dry-run shows planned actions without execution.
--force re-creates users (use after manual deletion).
Closes the 'cloud VM bootstrap' gap identified during the Gitea hardening
review — pairs with scripts/gitea/{doctor,token}.sh from commit 610a59fd.
