### Using Docker (`dump`)

There are a few caveats for using the `dump` command with Docker.

The command has to be executed with the `RUN_USER = <OS_USERNAME>` specified in `gitea/conf/app.ini`; and, for the zipping of the backup folder to occur without permission error the command `docker exec` must be executed inside of the `--tempdir`.

Example:

```docker exec -u <OS_USERNAME> -it -w <--tempdir> $(docker ps -qf "name=<NAME_OF_DOCKER_CONTAINER>") bash -c '/app/gitea/gitea dump -c </path/to/app.ini>'```
```none
docker exec -u <OS_USERNAME> -it -w <--tempdir> $(docker ps -qf "name=<NAME_OF_DOCKER_CONTAINER>") bash -c '/app/gitea/gitea dump -c </path/to/app.ini>'
```

*Note: `--tempdir` refers to the temporary directory of the docker enviroment used by gitea; if you have not specified a custom `--tempdir`, then gitea uses `/tmp` or the `TMPDIR` enviromental variable of the docker container. For `--tempdir` adjust your `docker exec` command options accordingly.

The result should be a file, stored in the `--tempdir` specified, along the lines of: `gitea-dump-1482906742.zip`
