Description

I want to update the Gitea version and follow the update guide in the docs. So I create a backup through the dump command and two things does not work correct.

The dump command skipped the custom directory. Why, it exists and contains data. But no configuration is found on command line and in the app.ini to correct the path for the custom directory.

This is the directory structure:

C:\Git
├───gitea
│   ├───custom
│   │   ├───certs
│   │   └───conf
│   ├───data
│   │   ├───avatars
│   │   └───sessions
│   ├───indexers
│   │   └───issues.bleve
│   ├───log
│   └───public
└───repos

The gitea-repo.zip has a size of 21.632 KB but when I open this file in the windows explorer it showns no content. But in 7-Zip I can see content. Maybe it is the same error like issue #3585.

Please fix the issues. Thanks.

Same problem here:

Latest version of gitea (1.9.3), dump creates a 1kb file with nothing in it.

c:\gitea>gitea.exe dump --config c:\gitea\custom\conf\app.ini
2019/09/24 16:50:52 ...dules/setting/git.go:83:newGit() [I] Git Version: 2.21.0, Wire Protocol Version 2 Enabled

It could be that Gitea can not read files that are already open in Windows and I don't know what can be done here

You can not see files in windows explorer, because it is rubbish..... Maybe it would be better after windows 11 23H2.
And I think custom data should be backported by user, not Gitea.
