Description

I want to dump my Gitea instance using
./gitea dump

Unfortunately my primary partition is nearly full so the dump fails and I need to change the tmp directory that Gitea will use. In order to do so, I issue a :
./gitea dump -t ./tmp

The dump works better until I get :
Fail to save gitea-dump-1488467761.zip: write /tmp/cae/gitea-dump-1488467761.zip/gitea-repo.zip: no space left on device

This means Gitea keeps using the /tmp directory instead of the ./tmp I have created on another partition.

Thanks

I forgot to attach the full log. As you can see, the dump utility starts using the "./tmp" dir but fails at the end on "/tmp"

@lunny I can have a look at this one.

Try setting the TMPDIR (or equivalent for your dist) enviroment variable to same tmp dir.

The use of /tmp actually comes from the cae/zip-library. See https://github.com/Unknwon/cae/blob/master/zip/write.go#L169

@lunny Don't think I should change it the imported library right?

Setting the TMPDIR works :

git@new:~/gitea$ export TMPDIR=./tmp

@cez81 Yes. Except especially critical situation, we will fire an issue to the original library and wait the upstream library update.

@lunny As a work-around we could set TMPDIR if it isn't already set?

if os.Getenv("TMPDIR") == "" {
  os.Setenv("TMPDIR", tmpDir)
}
