Description

I installed Gitea from binary using this Installation from binary doc. I am trying to use the dump command to take backup. But the dump command is skipping the app.ini in /etc/gitea where all of my configs are.

Steps to reproduct

1. perform backup with following steps:

cd /home/git
sudo -u git /usr/local/bin/gitea dump -c /etc/gitea/app.ini
sudo mv gitea-dump-* /path/to/backup/gitea-dump.zip

1. now extract the zip file

cd /path/to/backup/
sudo unzip gitea-dump.zip

which gives the following output:

Archive:  gitea-dump.zip
  inflating: gitea-repo.zip          
  inflating: gitea-db.sql            
   creating: log/
  inflating: log/gitea.log           
  inflating: log/xorm.log            
  inflating: log/serv.log            
   creating: log/hooks/
  inflating: log/hooks/update.log    
  inflating: log/hooks/pre-receive.log  
  inflating: log/hooks/post-receive.log  
  inflating: log/http.log            
   creating: custom/
   creating: custom/conf/
  inflating: custom/conf/app.ini     

check for the config in app.ini

cat custom/conf/app.ini

output

INTERNAL_TOKEN = xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

all my configurations are in /etc/gitea/app.ini not in custom/conf/app.ini. Is it expected? Does anyone know how to solve this?

Thanks in advance!

When you run the dump command do you pass in the config? E.g.

gitea dump -c /etc/gitea/app.ini

[fazlerabbi37]

@zeripath, yes I did.

[fazlerabbi37]

@zeripath any update? or have you been able to reproduce it?

[zeripath]

I haven't had a chance to look in to this. I guess I need some more information - what do you mean by skipping. Is it that Gitea dump isn't finding your db? Do you have a relative path as your db path? If so you must run dump from the same working directory that you normally run Gitea from.

@zeripath updated the issue with Steps to reproduce.

I am also having this issue with the same commands given by @fazlerabbi37 in the first message.

@zeripath do you need more informations ?

Thanks.

Looks like Gitea doesn't make an effort to include a configuration file specifically, so it only gets included if in the default location of custom/conf/. Will send a PR for that

[K1LLUM1N471]

Is there already a solution?

My current workaround is to add the custom configuration file /etc/gitea/app.ini with the command 'zip -r gitea-dump-...zip /etc/gitea/app.ini' in a script.

Kind regards,

Fix will be included in v1.9.0
