Description

I was trying to create a backup of my Gitea instance as found on the official docs. As I run my gitea as a service, I prepended the working directory manually when running the command. But the resulting zip files misses the data and custom directories. The log file states that it searched for custom at /usr/local/bin/ which is obviously the wrong directory. Maybe the data directory was silently skipped after that.

Is this a bug or am I missing something?

Commands and resulting zip file:

git@homeserver:~$ GITEA_WORK_DIR=/var/lib/gitea/; gitea dump -c /etc/gitea/app.ini

@MonkeySon commented on GitHub (Apr 26, 2020):

Okay, problem solved. I had to set the working directory with -w or --work-path and not via environment variable.
Like so: gitea dump -c /etc/gitea/app.ini -w /var/lib/gitea/
