Synology + Git: empty repo cloned via WebDav

Question

I set up a " git --bare --shared " repo on my Synology NAS with SSH connection from local network via VPN (for security). I usually work via SSH and all it's fine.

Now i would to switch to HTTPS to avoid VPN connection but i receive the warning "You appear to have cloned an empty repository" via WebDav although the repo is not empty.

On my Syno and router i set up:

• git bare shared folder on /volume1/git
• valid HTTPS certificate
• port forwarding 443 (HTTPS) and 5006 (Webdav)

If i do a test in a browser with URL https://myddnsurl:5006/git/test.txt i could read the content of file.

But if i run " git clone https://myddnsurl:5006/git/myprojectfolder.git " and enter valid username & password i receive the warning

You appear to have cloned an empty repository

Via browser i got:

You don't have permission to access /git/myprojectfolder.git on this server

Why? Is it a permissions problem? Thanks for help!

Answer 1

Solved! I need 2 things:

1. On REMOTE: use a post-update hooks

cd git/myprojectfolder/hooks
cp -p hooks/post-update.sample
./post-update

2. On LOCAL: add username to https URL otherwise i got "error 22"

git clone https://username@myddnsurl:5006/git/myprojectfolder.git

Now i can clone, push e pull via HTTPS! I hope this help will be useful for somebody else. Bye.
