    @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

      Hi!

      I'm interested in using git LFS storage from my gitea app but I'm worried that my server could run out of space with many large files. Gitea supports any s3-like storage as a backend for LFS and attachments (see Gitea Config Cheat Sheet). So, using the gitea app terminal I edited /app/data/app.ini to add the following configuration and restarted gitea from the dashboard:

      [server]
      LFS_START_SERVER = true
      
      [storage.my-storage]
      STORAGE_TYPE = minio
      SERVE_DIRECT = true
      MINIO_ENDPOINT = s3.us-west-001.backblazeb2.com 
      MINIO_ACCESS_KEY_ID = {secret-id}
      MINIO_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY = {secret-key}
      MINIO_BUCKET = my-bucket
      MINIO_LOCATION = us-west-001
      MINIO_USE_SSL = true
      
      [lfs]
      STORAGE_TYPE = my-storage
      
      [attachment]
      STORAGE_TYPE = my-storage
      MAX_SIZE = 50
      

      And it seems to work, great! Yes, I'm actually using backblaze b2, because it's much more cost efficient than amazon's service. Yay compatibility!

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

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

                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.

                    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

                        @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

                              @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?

                                  @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 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?

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

                                      @girish now it seems to work, the push takes a long time for a single file of less than a gb (for security inserted in the gitattribute as lfs) but the bucket is empty after the push, I don't understand where to throw it.
                                      I made sure I removed gitea's default lfs path from the app.ini

                                        @Wirv OK, I don't really know that part since I have never tried LFS myself. I just wanted to get you over the configuration hurdle.
