Gitea version (or commit ref): 1.9.2 (Docker container)
Git version:
Operating system: RHEL7
Database (use [x]):
- PostgreSQL
- MySQL
- MSSQL
- SQLite
Can you reproduce the bug at https://try.gitea.io:
- Yes (provide example URL)
- No
- Not relevant
Log gist:
unknown shorthand flag: 'w' in -w

Description

I try to follow the instructions on https://docs.gitea.io/en-us/backup-and-restore/, but when I run the command, I get the following error

unknown shorthand flag: 'w' in -w
See 'docker exec --help'.

I run the database and gitea inside docker containers. On RHEL7 we use the Red Hat provided docker package (1.13.1). Obviously that docker version does not have a "-w" option

# docker exec --help

Usage:  docker exec [OPTIONS] CONTAINER COMMAND [ARG...]

Run a command in a running container

Options:
  -d, --detach               Detached mode: run command in the background
      --detach-keys string   Override the key sequence for detaching a container
  -e, --env list             Set environment variables (default [])
      --help                 Print usage
  -i, --interactive          Keep STDIN open even if not attached
      --privileged           Give extended privileges to the command
  -t, --tty                  Allocate a pseudo-TTY
  -u, --user string          Username or UID (format: <name|uid>[:<group|gid>])

If I ommit the flag, the dump seams not to work.

If I run the dump command inside the container

su - git -c "/app/gitea/gitea dump -c /data/gitea/conf/app.ini --tempdir /tmp"

an empty directory will be created.
