Description

Gitea runs as a docker on unraid. For backup purposes I run tar the repos and data directories every night. About 1.5 months ago I had dual hard drive failure and had to restore data from backups. Since restoring, gitea's dashboard no longer shows activities for repos that existed before the restore point.

If I add a new repo now and do commits, it all shows up in the dashboard. However preexisting stuff does not. I can still push and pull all repos without an issue. I've logged into that docker console to also recursively restore permissions on all repo folders to git:git.

How can I get my dashboard back?

The only difference I can currently see is the ownership on the repo folders/files were not correct. To figure out what the permissions should've been I created a new repo and saw that everything was written as git:git so I can chown -R git:git on the repos in hopes it would bring back the dashboard.

IIRC this bug could have been fixed, please try latest release.

It's caused by out-synced git hooks.
