Gitea minio storage for lfs

[robi]

@marcusquinn now the trick is to know how to pronounce it..

[marcusquinn]

@robi I'm going with Gitier, as in Glacier. Can't imagine anyone would say Gitay?

[robi]

@marcusquinn for me the word is vocalized in a foreign language I speak, which sounds like Andre-a // Git-eh-ah

Otherwise it's more something like Giddiup where the p is silent.

Now Tea also some to mind.. the female name and the beverage.

So maybe the Git coffee is really just a dark tea

I've been struggling with how to pronounce it as well; so far my internal monologue has been settling in the direction of "Andre-a // Git-eh-ah", but stealing the t from git: "Gi-tee-ah". It doesn't sound like it has "git" anymore, but at least there's "tea". Have the devs given any talks on Gitea? I'd rather settle on something instead of sounding it out 4-5 times every time I read it lol

@infogulch said in Gitea minio storage for lfs:

One question: is /app/data/app.ini the correct place to add gitea custom configurations?

Yes, that's the correct place!

[infogulch]

@girish Do you think it would be a good idea to document or link to this customization in particular in the Gitea docs?

[girish]

@infogulch Isn't the customization file already mentioned here - https://docs.cloudron.io/apps/gitea/#customizing-gitea ? Or are you referring to something else?

[girish]

@infogulch Oh, I guess you meant the config that you posted as an example. Good idea, I put it at https://docs.cloudron.io/apps/gitea/#lfs

[infogulch]

@girish Yes that's what I meant, thanks!

@marcusquinn
For the pronunciation, I assumed it was Git-tea. Hence the logo. That aside, it turns out to be a much better sell than Gitlab. Sure, Gitlab has nice features but a simple comparison of the feature vs the resource usage makes it win for me. Gitlab is still a massive resource hog for what it offers.

Also Drone CI + Gitea make for a very powerful combo.

G I T ? <g i tea>

This is a fun but completely off topic discussion. And its something that the project clarifies in their own readme: https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea#faq

@infogulch forgive me I've been fighting it for days, but how does the connection work, do I need an active minio server? or just this setting in the app.ini is enough
Is there any git config command to do? If someone can help me I would be very grateful and happy

[girish]

@Wirv Have you seen https://docs.cloudron.io/apps/gitea/#lfs already? Yes, you need an active minio server or external S3 provider.

@girish I did as you told me, and inserted the changes reported on app.ini, with the data of my bucket b2, but when I restart gitea with the following changes and minio server turned on, it gives me this error

2023/02/01 15:24:05 routers/init.go:59:mustInit() [F] code.gitea.io/gitea/modules/storage.Init failed: Malformed Access Key Id

@Wirv said in Gitea minio storage for lfs:

Malformed Access Key Id

In the docs, it says

MINIO_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY = {secret-key}

You have to omit the curly braces . Maybe you put curly braces in your config? Could that be it?

I actually tried both ways and the same error

@Wirv It seems that error may be from backblaze b2 and not gitea - https://www.reddit.com/r/backblaze/comments/u9ivrh/malformed_access_key_id/ . The user there succeeded by regenerating the key. Which makes me wonder, does your key have fancy characters like "=" , "/" , "[" or something?

[Wirv]

@girish unfortunately yes, what do I do, try to regenerate it until a key without special characters comes out?
