Hi I am new to Gitea. I am trying to migrate my old git repo’s to Gitea I only used the command line and git bash never a web git Application like gitea. I tried to migrate my nagios repo that I have on the same server into gitea but it dosn’t work and everywhere I look I only find migration between Github and Gitea. Can somebody help me with that? ---

You have a few options here. 1. You can set `IMPORT_LOCAL_PATHS` to `true` in the `[security]` section of your app.ini and then migrate them from a local path. [Link to docs for `IMPORT_LOCAL_PATHS`](https://docs.gitea.io/en-us/config-cheat-sheet/#security-security) 2. You can set Gitea as a new remote from a checked out repository and then push. `git remote add gitea https://my.gitea/user/repo.git` and `git push gitea --all && git push gitea --tags` If you do the latter, you can either create the repo first in the web UI, or enable push-to-create, in which Gitea will create non-existent repositories for you when you first push to them.

I’ve set the `IMPORT_LOCAL_PATHS` to true and restarted Gitea service. Now, how the migration can be done, please? ---

I think you can just input the repository path on the server into the box and click import? ---

Hello lunny, you are right. app.ini: … ALLOWED\_DOMAINS = ALLOW\_LOCALNETWORKS = true … Migrate / Clone From URL: git://czjih1lgit1.mmemea.marelliad.net:/var/git/psr.git Username and password: Correct, checked several times. When I click “Migrate Repository” buttn, I receive this error: You cannot import from disallowed hosts, please ask the admin to check ALLOWED\_DOMAINS/ALLOW\_LOCALNETWORKS/BLOCKED\_DOMAINS settings. Both, source git server and the gitea server are in the same subnet. ---

Because you are using a domain as remote site. It has been consider as a domain system but not a local network. So you need to add `czjih1lgit1.mmemea.marelliad.net` to your `ALLOWED_DOMAINS =`. ---

Hello lunny, thanks for your support. I’ve solved ‘migration from git to gitea’ problem already by configuration change and installing git-daemon-dun on my Debian box.
