## 5. Add the app in Obtainium (on the phone)
Obtainium supports Gitea/Forgejo release sources. Add app → paste:
Obtainium reads **straight from the repo site** via its native Gitea/Forgejo **Releases**
source — no separate web server needed. Add app → paste:
```
https://git.mowden.top/hank/BigBrainParking
```
Pick the **Gitea** (or **Forgejo**) source type if prompted, and Obtainium will track
releases and offer each new signed APK. Install ntfy + set it as your UnifiedPush
distributor for push later.

### Releases vs. Packages
Use **Releases**, not the **Packages** tab. Gitea/Forgejo *Packages* is a general artifact
registry (npm, maven, container, generic) — Obtainium has no package-registry source, so it
won't see APKs there. (You *can* upload an APK to the generic registry and point Obtainium at

where CI attaches the versioned APK — is the right mechanism.)
