A long time ago, I set up a pull mirror as a migration, to automatically mirror a repository from public [github.com](http://github.com) to my private Gitea server. This was working fine until recently, when the upstream repository was deleted. Now my logs are full of errors trying to sync the mirror. How can I disable the mirror, without deleting the repository fully? ---

In the repository click on Settings on the Right. Scroll down to the “Danger Zone” Click “Convert to Regular Repository” and follow the prompts. Hope that helps. ---

I’m facing a similar issue. My upstream repository address has changed, so I want to pause the sync. Otherwise, it will affect the sync speed of other mirror repositories.
