Description

I cannot migrate a "local" repo, based on local path, using the api.

API call:

curl -u administrator --request POST --url http://localhost:3000/api/v1/repos/migrate --header 'content-type: application/json' --data '{"clone_addr": "/home/git/my-repo.git", "uid": 1, "repo_name": "new-repo"}'

At this point I am prompted for and enter my password.

API Call Response:

{"message":"You are not allowed to import local repositories.","url":"https://github.com/gogits/go-gogs-client/wiki"}

However, according to the docs here:
https://github.com/gogits/go-gogs-client/wiki/Repositories#migrate

I should be able to migrate local repos by passing their path?

Note: other API calls, e.g. search, complete as expected.

Thanks in advance

Hi, you can only migrate local repo as admin by default, otherwise given permission by admin.

Just adding this for other users...

The user WAS admin/had admin rights.

The issue was that ENABLE_LOCAL_PATH_MIGRATION had not been set in config file (/gogs/custom/conf/app.ini)

It would be great if the warning message could mention ENABLE_LOCAL_PATH_MIGRATION.
