Hi gitea-mirror development team,

I am submitting this issue as I think that it would be interesting to support the following. I personally amass a ton of repos and star them for future reference, keep track of what I have running in my homelab, of what I have installed on my workstation, etc. In that matter and for better organization, I created some lists of starred repos. Here is what it looks like within GitHub interface:

I would like the possibility to mirror not all my starred repos but only the ones from the lists selected, let's say. For instance, I would like to mirror everything from the lists "homelab" and "dottools" but not "ideas" as it serves a dump for all the things that I find interesting but will not necessarily use or want to keep a copy of. In terms of configuration, it could follow the guidelines:

  • MIRROR_STARRED: true
  • MIRROR_STARRED_LISTS:
    • if empty, mirror all the starred repos
    • otherwise, a comma-separated list of the list names

Thank you in advance for considering my request!

@clement-deltel Implemented in PR #247 and ready for testing with:

ghcr.io/raylabshq/gitea-mirror:pr-247

What’s included

  1. Env var support
  • MIRROR_STARRED_LISTS (comma-separated list names), e.g.:
    • MIRROR_STARRED=true
    • MIRROR_STARRED_LISTS=homelab,dottools
  • If MIRROR_STARRED_LISTS is empty/unset, behavior remains all starred repos.
  • This is only used when MIRROR_STARRED=true.
  1. UI support
  • In Configuration → Connections → GitHub Configuration → Repository Selection:
    • Enable Mirror starred repositories
    • Use Star Lists (optional) selector (searchable multi-select)
    • You can also add custom list names manually

Quick test

Use the PR image:

docker pull ghcr.io/raylabshq/gitea-mirror:pr-247

Then run with your normal env plus:

  • MIRROR_STARRED=true
  • MIRROR_STARRED_LISTS=<your-list-1>,<your-list-2>

You can verify in UI by selecting the same lists in the new Star Lists (optional) control and running import/sync.

Hello,

Thank you for the blazinf fast implementation. Nevertheless, I just tested the image (ghcr.io/raylabshq/gitea-mirror:pr-247), but I am getting the error message below:

Error fetching starred repositories: Configured GitHub star lists not found: docs, dottools, homelab

Also, the UI does not reflect what you showed above with the Star Lists drop-down menu on my end:

I have to mention that I just swapped the image and added the environment variable. I am not starting from a fresh install with an empty database, maybe that's part of the observed difference.

Let me know if you need anything else.

@clement-deltel I just ran it locally and tested with my github keys, everything worked. Can try using the UI and please share you config vars and remove any private keys when you share them.
