Gitea ist Kaput
Well that kind of sucks. Let's fix it
Gitea went kaput. Just up and stopped working one day. I came back from the BWCA and noticed none of my automated builds had succeeded:
The errors were all about “back pack header”
I tried many things - restarting Kubernetes, docker, upgrading the container image. All the things that usually ‘unstuck’ a Gitea instance just weren’t.
Any local pull or clone would fail
builder@DESKTOP-QADGF36:~/Workspaces/fbsnew$ git pull fatal: protocol error: bad pack header It wasn’t disk space
