Description

My colleague has created a private repository as follows:

And I am added as collaborator to that repo:

It worked fine to clone the repo and push to it, as one can see:

However, since he made the last commit, gitea silently crashes when I try to push again some changes or pull from the repo. I set the log level to Debug, but this doesn't give much more info.

I checked the journalctl as well (see gist) and also dmesg (see gist as well).

Looks like it ran out of memory.

[zeripath]

Hmm so it looks like you're pushing over http. Can you check http log and the hook logs.

It might be worth checking if pushing over SSH works.

[zeripath]

I don't suppose you can reproduce on try?

[mrsdizzie]

how big is the repo you are trying to push/pull?

And/or perhaps maybe more relevant here, what is reported on the server for git count-objects -vH

[lunny]

Have you enabled code search?

[tcpluess]

I perhaps found the problem. My Gitea instance was running in a LXC container with Debian 9. It seems like there is a compatibility issue with systemd running inside a container. Here are some explanations why, even though this is for Docker, it seems also to apply for LXC.
I created a new container using Alpine Linux, and with that, Gitea works just fine on the very same repo.

So I close the issue for now as it seems it has nothing to do with Gitea.
