Gitea doesn't include the canonical tag in their pages, leading to a lot of duplicate pages being indexed by Google. Each page being indexed has a different sorting option, or other superflous parameter.

To fix this,
|
||
|
|
||
|
1. Create a `custom/templates/base/` directory under your Gitea installation. In my case it is in `/var/lib/gitea/custom/templates/base/`.
|
||
|
2. CD to the base directory and run `wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/go-gitea/gitea/main/templates/base/head.tmpl`. Make sure your Gitea is updated to the latest version, or choose the right version instead of the `main` branch.
|
||
|
3. Modify `head.tmpl`: Add this line somewhere in the `<head>` section:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```html
|
||
|
<link rel="canonical" href="{{AppUrl}}{{if $.Link}}{{slice $.Link 1}}{{end}}" />
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
4. Restart the gitea service
