Restore data from Gitea restic backup

Just a very quick update about how I was able to restore a git repository stored inside a Gitea and backed up via restic. Warning: this guide most probably does not work correctly with LFS files, but they might either not be that critical to restore or the repository might not e…

Issues restoring Gitea from dump

Somehow, the official documentation for restoring Gitea from dump did not work for me. Roughly, the following command for the original rootful Docker image could look like this: /app/gitea/gitea dump --file gitea-dump.zip -c /data/gitea/conf/app.ini --skip-lfs-data --skip-reposit…
