Not possible to upload organization avatar #4

Closed xet7 closed 8 years ago

xet7 commented 8 years ago

Hi, in Gogs, when using Sandstorm I installed on one server, and I try to upload organization avatar, it says "UploadAvatar: open /opt/app/gogs/data/avatars/2: no such file or directory"

And when I try to add file there manually (should not be needed) it says "UploadAvatar: open /opt/app/gogs/data/avatars/2: read-only file system"

This is because at https://docs.sandstorm.io/en/latest/developing/troubleshooting/ it says "Read-only filesystem" : Only the /var directory is writable; the rest of the filesystem (which contains the contents of your app package) is read-only. If your app wants to write to locations other than /var, and it's not easy to change the app's code, one work-around is to create a symlink from the location you app wants to modify to a location under /var. This won't work for all applications however.

In Gogs settings, there is place where data directory location could be defined.

Also because currently this port is behing official https://github.com/gogits/gogs version, I have talked with Gogs devs at https://gitter.im/gogits/gogs if they could help to get this project updated and added to official project.

@pgrm I chatted with Gogs devs, they like the idea of Sandstorm but they don't have time to get familiar with Sandstorm to make required fixes, so I said that when I get more familiar with Sandstorm I could try to do required changes and submit pull request to Gogs. Although no promises and no fixed timetable yet. I think it's more important for core Gogs devs to concentrate to implement highly requested features such as Gogs API and GitHub issue import.

Should be fixed as of the latest version on Sandstorm (0.8.23.0126).
