This message text is defined in locale_de-DE.ini under the key "mirror_interval_invalid". For reference, the matching text for this in English locale is "The mirror interval is not valid"

The code responsible to generate the error message is in ./routers/repo/setting.go

if err != nil || (interval != 0 && interval < setting.Mirror.MinInterval) {
    ctx.Data["Err_Interval"] = true
    ctx.RenderWithErr(ctx.Tr("repo.mirror_interval_invalid"), tplSettingsOptions, &form)

The definition of the MinInterval setting is mentioned in ./modules/setting/setting.go and seems to supply the 10 minute setting default.

Mirror.MinInterval = sec.Key("MIN_INTERVAL").MustDuration(10 * time.Minute)

The MIN_INTERVAL setting in the example app.ini file (./custom/conf/app.ini.sample) shows 10 min & a comment that the minimum is 1 minute.

[mirror]
; Default interval as a duration between each check
DEFAULT_INTERVAL = 8h
; Min interval as a duration must be > 1m
MIN_INTERVAL = 10m

This seems to be done back in https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/1407 .
I am not sure if any specific settings of MIN_INTERVAL (ex: under 1 min or under 10 min) are at risk of being ineffective.

Can you please confirm if your app.ini file has any setting for MIN_INTERVAL value?

So you see, there are not INTERVAL variables set, so it seems to use the default value for minimum "10m0s" ?

Then i can set MIN_INTERVAL = 1m0s (or whatever) in /etc/gitea/app.ini for user-defined minium value?

My ini file does also not contain a "mirror" section, so i added one:

[mirror]
MIN_INTERVAL     = 30s
DEFAULT_INTERVAL = 8h

And not it works, now i can defined a value of, e.g., 3m0s with message "Repository-Einstellungen wurden aktualisiert."

:-)

Thank you very much - have a nice day!

I can save it and i see "Zuletzt synchronisiert 2019-09-23 15:07:40 +0200 CEST" (=today, that is correct) on the mirroring setings.

But on the front page, i still see "Aktualisiert vor 2 Tagen" (=2 days ago) for last refresh.

So that 2 date values don't match to each other - something seems still to be inconsistent - so the problem is not solved yet...

@martijintro You should make your best effort to keep languages other than English from your comments. I have trouble following your problem.
BTW, 30s is an invalid MIN_INTERVAL. 1 minute is the minimum.
I get the feeling that you've solved it already?

""Aktualisiert vor 2 Tagen""

Now i changed it to:

[mirror]
MIN_INTERVAL     = 1m
DEFAULT_INTERVAL = 8h

And i changed the sync time in the repo mirror settings to 1m. Will look what happens now...

The text on the top of the manual sync button (on repo mirror settings) still shows me a different (current) data value - that seems to be correct, synced a few secs ago.

But on the main page, i still see "x days" ago.

So that values don't fit to each other..
