I'm getting 500 (Internal Server Error) when trying to create new release using the Web UI for the past 1-2 hours.

+1 on this.
I'm having this issue after I removed the created tag

Reproduce

1. Create a new release: v0.1.0, v0.2.0, v0.3.0, v0.4.0, v0.5.0, v0.6.0, v0.7.0
2. Delete releases: v0.4.0, v0.5.0, v0.6.0, v0.7.0
3. Delete tags: v0.4.0, v0.5.0, v0.6.0, v0.7.0
4. Create a new release v0.4.0

Workaround

There is a workaround but not ideal, if I try to create v0.4.1 then it works, but if I created 0.4.0 it returns 500 despite it's already removed before.

Yeah.
Initially I created a pre tag called v0.1.0-pre which was successful.
But when everything was finalized I could not create the tag v0.1.0.
I was able to make v0.1.1

Sounds like some issue with the underlying git repositories (and I didn’t manage to replicate on Forgejo’s test instance). Please, let us know the concerned repositories, such that Codeberg admins can investigate the issue.

Found this upstream issue: forgejo/forgejo#13201

Seems they managed to delete the tag using the API, if you want to try it yourself, you may with

curl -X 'DELETE' \
 'https://codeberg.org/api/v1/repos/myowner/myrepo/tags/v0.0.1' \
 -H 'accept: application/json' \
 -H 'Authorization: mytokenxxx'

See https://codeberg.org/api/swagger#/repository/repoDeleteTag and https://forgejo.org/docs/latest/user/api-usage/ for more details.

Hi, thanks for responding.
I have tested this but got

curl -X 'DELETE' \
'https://codeberg.org/api/v1/repos/ky64/local-text-rpg-ui/tags/v0.4.0' \
-H 'accept: application/json' \
-H 'Authorization: token ****'
{"message":"The target couldn't be found.","url":"https://codeberg.org/api/swagger","errors":[]}

I also checked from the swagger the list of the tags and releases, those seems already removed. I still can't create a new release unless I change the number.

Tags:

curl -X 'GET' \
 'https://codeberg.org/api/v1/repos/ky64/local-text-rpg-ui/tags' \
 -H 'accept: application/json'

Releases:

curl -X 'GET' \
 'https://codeberg.org/api/v1/repos/ky64/local-text-rpg-ui/releases' \
 -H 'accept: application/json'

Thanks for trying out. Seems, we need a Codeberg admin to intervene then.
