#### keys
Provides an SSHD AuthorizedKeysCommand. Needs to be configured in the sshd config file:
```ini
...
# The value of -e and the AuthorizedKeysCommandUser should match the
# username running gitea
AuthorizedKeysCommandUser git
AuthorizedKeysCommand /path/to/gitea keys -e git -u %u -t %t -k %k
```
The command will return the appropriate authorized_keys line for the
provided key. You should also set the value
`SSH_CREATE_AUTHORIZED_KEYS_FILE=false` in the `[server]` section of
`app.ini`.
NB: opensshd requires the gitea program to be owned by root and not
writable by group or others. The program must be specified by an absolute
path.
NB: Gitea must be running for this command to succeed.
#### migrate
Migrates the database. This command can be used to run other commands before starting the server for the first time.
This command is idempotent.
#### convert
Converts an existing MySQL database from utf8 to utf8mb4.
#### doctor
Diagnose the problems of current gitea instance according the given configuration.
Currently there are a check list below:
- Check if OpenSSH authorized_keys file id correct
When your gitea instance support OpenSSH, your gitea instance binary path will be written to `authorized_keys`
when there is any public key added or changed on your gitea instance.
Sometimes if you moved or renamed your gitea binary when upgrade and you haven't run `Update the '.ssh/authorized_keys' file with Gitea SSH keys. (Not needed for the built-in SSH server.)` on your Admin Panel. Then all pull/push via SSH will not be work.
This check will help you to check if it works well.
For contributors, if you want to add more checks, you can wrie ad new function like `func(ctx *cli.Context) ([]string, error)` and
append it to `doctor.go`.
```go
var checklist = []check{
{
title: "Check if OpenSSH authorized_keys file id correct",
f: runDoctorLocationMoved,
},
// more checks please append here
}
```
This function will receive a command line context and return a list of details about the problems or error.
##### doctor recreate-table
Sometimes when there are migrations the old columns and default values may be left
unchanged in the database schema. This may lead to warning such as:
```
2020/08/02 11:32:29 ...rm/session_schema.go:360:Sync2() [W] Table user Column keep_activity_private db default is , struct default is 0
```
You can cause Gitea to recreate these tables and copy the old data into the new table
with the defaults set appropriately by using:
```
gitea doctor recreate-table user
```
You can ask gitea to recreate multiple tables using:
```
gitea doctor recreate-table table1 table2 ...
```
And if you would like Gitea to recreate all tables simply call:
```
gitea doctor recreate-table
```
It is highly recommended to back-up your database before running these commands.
