Cannot create repository when using an external drive about gitness HOT 3 CLOSED

Hey @Saul-BT, thanks for helping to improve Gitness 🚀

It seems like we don't properly log the root cause of the linking error, we'll be working on fixing the logs in the next release version so in future runs we'll get the full error details.

In the meanwhile, let's try to manually investigate why the linking doesn't work.
Could you connect to the docker container and try to manually test creating a symlink in /data dir that points to /app/gitness (e.g. ln -s /app/gitness /data/ln-app-gitness).

Hi @johannesHarness, I found the problem, the link was trying to be created on the disk, but the disk is formatted in exFAT, so it is not supported.

I changed the container volume so that it now points to a disk (EXT4 format), and everything works correctly (no errors).

I find this project very interesting, congratulations on the idea and the great work.

PS: It would be great to be able to use SSH keys for repos management. I'll keep an eye on #3392 . And maybe in the future I will contribute :)

Glad to hear you were able to resolve the problem!
Hopefully it'll help others in the future that might run into similar issues, too.

PS: I'm trying to get someone to respond on the SSH feature request.
