`DEFAULT_ACTIONS_URL` indicates where the Gitea Actions runners should find the actions with relative path.
For example, `uses: actions/checkout@v3` means `https://github.com/actions/checkout@v3` since the value of `DEFAULT_ACTIONS_URL` is `github`.
And it can be changed to `self` to make it `root_url_of_your_gitea/actions/checkout@v3`.
For example, `uses: actions/checkout@v4` means `https://github.com/actions/checkout@v4` since the value of `DEFAULT_ACTIONS_URL` is `github`.
And it can be changed to `self` to make it `root_url_of_your_gitea/actions/checkout@v4`.
Please note that using `self` is not recommended for most cases, as it could make names globally ambiguous.
Additionally, it requires you to mirror all the actions you need to your Gitea instance, which may not be worth it.

In earlier versions (`<= 1.19`), `DEFAULT_ACTIONS_URL` could be set to any custom URLs like `https://gitea.com` or `http://your-git-server,https://gitea.com`, and the default value was `https://gitea.com`.
However, later updates removed those options, and now the only options are `github` and `self`, with the default value being `github`.
However, if you want to use actions from other git server, you can use a complete URL in `uses` field, it's supported by Gitea (but not GitHub).

### Absolute action URLs
Gitea Actions supports defining actions via absolute URL, which means that you can use actions from any git repository.
Like `uses: https://github.com/actions/checkout@v3` or `uses: http://your_gitea.com/owner/repo@branch`.

Previously (Pre 1.21.0), `[actions].DEFAULT_ACTIONS_URL` defaulted to `https://gitea.com`.
We have since restricted this option to only allow two values (`github` and `self`).
When set to `github`, the new default, Gitea will download non-fully-qualified actions from `https://github.com`.
For example, if you use `uses: actions/checkout@v3`, it will download the checkout repository from `https://github.com/actions/checkout.git`.
For example, if you use `uses: actions/checkout@v4`, it will download the checkout repository from `https://github.com/actions/checkout.git`.

Of course, you can still use absolute URLs in workflows.

You may be aware that there are tens of thousands of [marketplace actions](https://github.com/marketplace?type=actions) in GitHub.
However, when you write `uses: actions/checkout@v3`, it actually downloads the scripts from [gitea.com/actions/checkout](http://gitea.com/actions/checkout) by default (not GitHub).
However, when you write `uses: actions/checkout@v4`, it actually downloads the scripts from [gitea.com/actions/checkout](http://gitea.com/actions/checkout) by default (not GitHub).
This is a mirror of [github.com/actions/checkout](http://github.com/actions/checkout), but it's impossible to mirror all of them.
That's why you may encounter failures when trying to use some actions that haven't been mirrored.
