Description

I'm starting with a fresh install of Gitea. I'm trying to install Gitea to /storage/gitea, but it tries to write to /usr/bin/data which it doesn't have permission to do and fails.

I tried a few environment variables, but I couldn't figure out how to get it to stop trying to write to /usr/bin/data

@wxiaoguang commented on GitHub (Jan 22, 2024):

Not APP_DATA_PATH, use GITEA_WORK_DIR:

GITEA_WORK_DIR=/storage/gitea/ gitea web -c /etc/gitea/app.ini

or

gitea --config /etc/gitea/app.ini --work-path /storage/gitea/ web

Don't set others like GITEA_CUSTOM , they are not needed.
