Found a way to break all repositories inside a gitea instance

Description

The task "Delete all repositories' archives (ZIP, TAR.GZ, etc..)" corrupts all git repositories.
One of the deleted files are the HEAD files at the root of one repository.

Please tell me how to reproduce this problem, I tried "Delete all repositories' archives (ZIP, TAR.GZ, etc...)" . There is no problem as you said.

[ghost]

I did exact the same step but I got the issue.
I don't know yet how to reproduce the problem.
There are no error messages in the logs.

What's your app.ini? Especially the storage path related options.

[ghost]

Here is all the parts of the app.ini file, which have a path.

WORK_PATH = /data/gitea
[repository]
ROOT = /data/git/repositories
[repository.local]
LOCAL_COPY_PATH = /data/gitea/tmp/local-repo

[repository.upload]
TEMP_PATH = /data/gitea/uploads

[server]
APP_DATA_PATH = /data/gitea

[storage]
STORAGE_TYPE = local
PATH = /data/git

[indexer]
ISSUE_INDEXER_PATH = /data/gitea/indexers/issues.bleve

[session]
PROVIDER_CONFIG = /data/gitea/sessions
PROVIDER = file

[picture]
AVATAR_UPLOAD_PATH = /data/gitea/avatars
REPOSITORY_AVATAR_UPLOAD_PATH = /data/gitea/repo-avatars

[attachment]
PATH = /data/gitea/attachments

[log]
ROOT_PATH = /data/gitea/log
MODE = file

Would that help?

[wxiaoguang]

The problem is

[storage]
STORAGE_TYPE = local
PATH = /data/git

The INI package has a quirk behavior: the path is inherited, so storage.repo-archive also uses path /data/git

Then everything is removed under the /data/git
