Gitea on Docker with NFS Data Storage via TrueNAS: Can't Install

General Discussions

I’m trying to install Gitea on Docker that uses an NFS volume on TrueNAS for storing the data. I’ve been able to use NFS share to store data on TrueNAS that other services on Docker use (i.e Jellyfin). However, I’m having issues with installing the database (SQLite by default).

The default path: /data/gitea/gitea.db
Result: "The database settings are invalid: unable to open database file: no such file or directory"

Path: /_data/gitea/gitea.db
Result: "The database settings are invalid: failed to connect to database: Failed to create directories: mkdir /_data: permission denied"

I’m not sure if I’m using the right file path, or if I need to edit something on the volume. I have read and write enabled for all on the dataset options on TrueNAS.

Has anyone been able to successfully install gitea via external NFS volume?

It’s a permission issue.

It should work if the contains is started with the UID:GID that aligns with the owner UID:GID of the folder in the nfs share.
