idpbuilder generates Gitea with a strong password. This password has special characters enabled and can creates issues (such as in #283) when trying to use it in command/other applications.
Possible Solution
Automatically generate a token for the admin user and store in a known secret. This will allow more secure authentication methods and remove the need to change the password.
Alternatives Considered
There are a number of options we discussed in Slack with @nabuskey including:
Reducing the complexity of the password (not ideal as it reduces the security of gitea if made publicly available)
a. Allow people to opt into this in some way with a flag
Create a git token by default for admin user and store in a known secret
