Extra info Forgejo git over SSH?

[FMJansen]

Hey! The past few days I tried to get started with Forgejo on Runtipi. One issue I ran into was that I couldn’t use git over ssh¹. It turned out that:

1. By default, Forgejo responds to port 222 for git over ssh, but this isn’t shown in the interface
2. You’d also need to allow traffic on 222

Is this extra information which would fit in the description.md/metadata in the app store?

Footnotes

1. I got the following:

   $ git clone git@forgejo.example.com:username/repository.git
   Cloning into 'repository'...
   Received disconnect from <IP> port 22:2: Too many authentication failures
   Disconnected from <IP> port 22
   fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
   
   Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists.
   

   with on the server in /var/syslog:

   2026-08-05T21:20:39.515390+02:00 <hostname> sshd[1000421]: Invalid user git from <IP> port 55500
   2026-08-05T21:20:39.658670+02:00 <hostname> sshd[1000421]: error: maximum authentication attempts exceeded for invalid user git from <IP> port 55500 ssh2 [preauth]
   2026-08-05T21:20:39.658828+02:00 <hostname> sshd[1000421]: Disconnecting invalid user git <IP> port 55500: Too many authentication failures [preauth]
   

   after running sudo ufw allow 222 on the server, this worked:

   git clone ssh://git@forgejo.example.com:222/username/repository.git
