# Gitea ## Backend class For Django, add this class path to `AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS`. For other integrations, use the same class path in the framework-specific backend setting. | Backend name | Class path | |----------------|------------------------------------------| | `gitea` | `social_core.backends.gitea.GiteaOAuth2` | Gitea supports OAuth2 protocol. - Register a new application at [Gitea Applications](https://gitea.com/user/settings/applications). - Set the callback URL to `http://example.com/complete/gitea/` replacing `example.com` with your domain. Drop the trailing slash if the project doesn’t use it, the URL **must** match the value sent. - Fill the `Client ID` and `Client Secret` values from Gitea in the settings: ```default SOCIAL_AUTH_GITEA_KEY = '' SOCIAL_AUTH_GITEA_SECRET = '' ``` If your Gitea setup resides in another domain, then add the following setting: ```default SOCIAL_AUTH_GITEA_API_URL = 'https://example.com' ``` it must be the **full url** to your Gitea setup.
