I’m installing Gitea on a headless Raspberry Pi 5. I’ve followed all the steps carefully in these two parts of the documentation:
However, when I try to run gitea web, and then go to that URL to enter config information to finish installation, I get met with this error:
The app data path is invalid: unable to create the APP_DATA_PATH directory: “/usr/local/bin/data”, Error: mkdir /usr/local/bin/data: permission denied
I’ve tried the following:
- Using the default SQLite setup
- Using MariaDB, making sure I have the correct config
- Using the default user for
gitea web - Using
sudo su - gitto log into privileged user before runninggitea web - Changing the default paths in the webpage from
/usr/local/bin/datato/var/lib/gitea
APP_DATA_PATH appears to be part of the config file that gets written to during installation, so I don’t think I can edit that.
I’m out of ideas. Any help is appreciated.
