[solved] app.ini: Permission denied

Install/Maintain/Configure

I’m new to both Gitea and Docker, so I guess there is an easy fix to this issue. However, I’m stuck, so any help is appreciated.

Trying to backup my Gitea instance:
$ docker exec -u git -it -w /tmp $(docker ps -qf 'name=^gitea$') bash -c '/data/gitea/conf/app.ini'

Getting the following error:
bash: line 1: /data/gitea/conf/app.ini: Permission denied

The .ini file in the container:

$ docker exec -t -i gitea /bin/bash
bash-5.1# ls -al /data/gitea/conf/
total 12
drwxr-xr-x    2 git      git           4096 May  4 07:53 .
drwxr-xr-x   12 git      git           4096 May  4 08:20 ..
-rw-r--r--    1 git      git           2480 May  4 07:53 app.ini

Any idea why I’m getting permission denied?

I had messed up the command, and forgotten an essential part.

This works:
docker exec -u git -it -w /tmp gitea bash -c '/app/gitea/gitea dump -c /data/gitea/conf/app.ini'
