The automatic GITHUB_TOKEN doesn't reliably authenticate against Gitea's
Container Registry -- confirmed as a known, still-open limitation across
several Gitea versions (multiple upstream issues, consistent with the
401/unauthorized error hit here). Gitea's own community guidance is to
use a real Personal Access Token instead. Switches docker/login-action to
a REGISTRY_TOKEN repo secret (a PAT with package write scope, created in
Gitea's user settings) with an explicit username rather than the
gitea.actor context, and drops the now-unused permissions: packages:
write block that only applied to the auto token.
Builds server/Dockerfile and pushes to this repo's Gitea Container
Registry (git.thumeit.com/tfaour/espresso-frame-server) on every push to
main that touches server/, tagged both latest and the commit SHA.
docker-compose.yml now sets both image: and build: -- deploy hosts can
docker compose pull to grab the CI-built image without needing this
repo's build context, while local dev can still docker compose build
against Dockerfile changes directly.
