Description

After upgrading to 1.13.0 from 1.12.x the dump command fails with mkdir /usr/local/bin/data: permission denied error. I think the reason is it tries to create /usr/local/bin/data directory to which git user doesn't have access. I also tried with --tempdir /var/tmp but this doesn't change anything.
Gitea server works fine so far.

Briefly went through recent PRs and I think my issue may be caused by this one https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/12813 but can't find anything more in there.
Is there any new configuration I may be missing in app.ini? I can't see anything in the release notes.

either add a APP_DATA_PATH to your app.ini or set the --work-path, -w command line option as appropriate. (APP_DATA_PATH defaults to $AppWorkPath/data - which is clearly being determined as /usr/local/bin in this case.)

Adding APP_DATA_PATH to app.ini fixed it. Thanks!
