Grav Git sync

[charlesnw]

I am trying to get grav git sync to work.

Starting with a bare repo https://git.knownelement.com/reachableceo/reachableceo.com .
root@274c4e05-0aea-49c1-8c4a-aff47c566f65:/app/data/user# git status
fatal: detected dubious ownership in repository at '/app/data/user'
To add an exception for this directory, call:

    git config --global --add safe.directory /app/data/user

root@274c4e05-0aea-49c1-8c4a-aff47c566f65:/app/data/user# git config --global --add safe.directory /app/data/user
error: could not lock config file /root/.gitconfig: Read-only file system
root@274c4e05-0aea-49c1-8c4a-aff47c566f65:/app/data/user#

Any way to solve this?

If I use a repo that is initalized, it complains about divergent branches. And the suggested ways to fix all involve git --config which fails.

Does doing this help? https://docs.cloudron.io/apps/grav/#cli

Hello. I can confirm that once in the /app/code/user directory sudo -u www-data git status works. I had to run sudo -u www-data git config pull.rebase false when I set up the git-sync plugin.

[charlesnw]

Thanks! That worked (running git config pull-rebase false).

Well it was able to push up to the repository. It doesn't pull down. Also the Repository Web Hook URL instructions aren't clear. Do I need to add this on the gitea side? The grav side?

@charlesnw are you pulling down with https or ssh? if ssh, you probably need the ssh keys in the app

[charlesnw]

HTTPS. Grav was able to push content to the repository. It's just not pulling content down.

https://git.knownelement.com/reachableceo/Reachableceo.com is the repository I'm using.

@charlesnw
The webhook is on the gitea side: it triggers the sending of changes to grav when new commits/push occurs.

[charlesnw]

That is what I thought.

My grav instance webhook doesn't include the FQDN, just /(blah blah) . I am presuming on the gitea side, I use https://fqdn/blahblah as the webhook? I use type gitea?

I use gitea webhooks to send events to discord so I know they work.

Have you tried git clone via the Web terminal already ? Just to see if this is some Cloudron issue or app level ?

I cloned my grav theme repository (https link) into app/code/user/themes and use it in one direction only by pulling changes with sudo -u www-data git pull to update the website.

The git-sync extension basically adds (automatic) pushing as well by initializing a git directory in the app/code/user directory.
