Gitea minio storage for lfs

[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
Received signal 15; terminating.

@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?

[Wirv]

@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

[girish]

@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.

[Wirv]

@girish thank you very much anyway, thanks to you anyway I solved a big problem, I hope someone on the forum can help me conclude or be able to find a solution

[Wirv]

@girish I finally succeeded! Do you happen to know how multiple repos are managed? Is there a way to diversify buckets per repo or does it handle it well with one bucket for all repos?

[Wirv]

@Wirv I did it by setting this to false

SERVE_DIRECT = true
