Amateur Dev here who has been maintaining a Windows-based Gitea server using the GItea.exe. I would like to transfer these repos to my new Linux Machine utilizing Gitea in a Docker.
Locations of the Repos will stay the same, but would like to have the Gitea server running on that machine from then on.
When I attempted to Migrate from Gitea through the New Migration selection, for the URL, I used the local IP which both computers can communicate from, however, it results in an “invalid path: error”.
I also attempted to create a new Gitea Server through docker on the Linux Machine and simply tie the repos and db locations to the existing database. The Server was able to detect and Repos and recognize them, but clicking within them would detail that the data was corrupted, even though I am still able to read and use the repos in the Windows server.
Is there a better way to accomplish this? I do intend to keep my repos in the same place within the network drive, just want to have it so that the Linux Docker Container manages it, instead of my Windows.
