| For Gitea instances configured with a base URL that differs from the Renovate `endpoint` (for example, where Gitea is configured with an externally accessible base URL, but Renovate is configured to access the Gitea instance locally.), Renovate may attempt to access repositories using the base URL. In this case it may be necessary to configure a `hostRule` to use the PAT configured above for host authentication.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
The first statement makes it sound like Renovate's fault/problem, but it's not. Gitea is responding with Link header pointing to a different host, and Renovate is following it.
If Renovate can access that other URL, why not use it as the endpoint to save this complexity?
