Gitea migration: server certificate verification failed. CAfile: none CRLfile: none "SKIP_TLS_VERIFY = true"

Hi all,

I am trying to migrate git repos from a hosted gitlab server. The gitlab server doesn’t have a valid SSL cert, so I’ve put SKIP_TLS_VERIFY = true to the [migrations] section, but still the migration failes, that’s what I see in the log:

2022/03/22 10:45:24 ...ervices/task/task.go:56:handle() [E] Run task failed: Migration failed: Clone: exit status 128 - fatal: unable to access 'https://gitlabserver/frontend/masterui.git/': server certificate verification failed. CAfile: none CRLfile: none

I’ve tried to migrate as a gitlab repo (with access token) and as a git repo (user+pass), both gives the same result. I defined the repo in both case as http://, but during the migration somehow that changes to the https:// URL…

ps: First I mistyped the migrations section and used migration, quite annoying you don’t see any error, the settings just ignored in this case. Is there any way to dump the current config?

Having the exact same issue 3 years later trying to migrate from a server with self-signed cert. Tried SKIP_TLS_VERIFY in migrations and in repository. Getting tls: failed to verify certificate: x509: certificate relies on legacy Common Name field, use SANs instead. I would also love to know if there’s a way to dump the current config. InsecureSkipVerify should be getting set.

After some debugging, I’ve found that the dump_repo command never calls LoadSettings at all. So SkipTLSVerify is set to false no matter what’s in app.ini.
