Description

I tried to install Gitea on Beaglebone white. As mentioned in the documentation I've downloaded the arm6 version of gitea. Everything worked fine until I tried to create a new repository. When I try to create an empty repository it gives a 500 error.
This device has only 256 MB DDR2 memory.
