Wiki.js failing with git as a storage backend - but only for Gitea (not github)

[ianhyzy]

I have two wiki.js installs on my cloudron. One has been up for a while and I have it synced to Github, and this works fine. The other is new, and I wanted to set it up with a (also on the same Cloudron) Gittea backend. I used identical settings (ssh, contents, /app/data/repo) but get a constant popup that says "An unexpected error occurred." and the process fails. I also don't see anything out of place in the logs (below). Does anyone have this setup with a Cloudron git repo? Any ideas?

@ianhyzy sounds like it should work

@ianhyzy I tried this with gitea and it worked immediately. I documented this at https://docs.cloudron.io/apps/wikijs/#git-storage

One thing is that sometimes it gets "stuck" and shows some error. I found that changing the sync interval to 1 minute and then clicking on Purge repository button on the settings page helps to move things along.
