+# OWASP CRS - Gitea Proxy Rule Exclusions Plugin
 
-Allow running gitea behind a proxy using the ModSecurity CRS
\ No newline at end of file
+## Description
+
+This plugin contains rule exclusions for proxying an external address to a local
+[Gitea](https://about.gitea.com/) instance, a git devops platform, so it can be
+run together with OWASP CRS (CRS).
+
+## Installation
+
+For full and up to date instructions for the different available plugin
+installation methods, refer to [How to Install a Plugin](https://coreruleset.org/docs/concepts/plugins/#how-to-install-a-plugin)
+in the official CRS documentation.
+
+## Testing
+
+After the plugin is enabled, your Gitea instance should be accessible without
+any problems possibly caused by CRS (for example, false positives while blocking
+requests). If you are still having any problems, please file a new issue on
+[gitea](https://git.demus.dk/demus/gitea-proxy-rule-exclusions-plugin/).

+#
+# Plugins are enabled by default.
+#
+# They become active by placing them in the plugin folder. It is possible to
+# control plugin activation via setting a variable. This can be done in the
+# plugin config file here.
+#
+# The predefined variable name is meant to be "<plugin name>-plugin_enabled".
+# For the gitea-proxy-rule-exclusions-plugin, this means it can be disabled by setting
+# tx.gitea-proxy-rule-exclusions-plugin_enabled=0.
+#
+# Note that a global setting of this variable overrides the setting here.
+# That means the "enabled" variable is only set by this rule if it has not
+# been set before.
+#
+# Feel free to set the variable unconditionally here by replacing the
+# SecRule line with an unconditional SecAction statement.
