Problems backing up public and private repos and issues with PAT

[nidomiro]

My current PAT has the following permissions:

read:audit_log,
read:discussion,
read:enterprise,
read:gpg_key,
read:org,
read:packages,
read:project,
read:public_key,
read:repo_hook,
read:ssh_signing_key,
read:user,
repo,
user:email

During backing up I get errors like:

2024-04-26T19:53:53Z INF starting backup for https://github.com/nidomiro/ts-tools.git stage=backup
2024-04-26T19:53:53Z INF cloning github.com/nidomiro/ts-tools.git/1714161233 path=/backup-data/ stage=locally
2024-04-26T19:53:54Z INF backing up issues path=/backup-data/ repo=github.com/nidomiro/ts-tools.git/1714161233 stage=locally
2024-04-26T19:53:54Z ERR open /backup-data/github.com/nidomiro/ts-tools.git/1714161233.issues/48.json: no such file or directory path=/backup-data/ stage=locally

This error also happens for private repos.
What is strage to me is the 1714161233 in the repo and issue URL.
Also the git folder inside the zip-file seems wrong, inside objects/ there are only two files under objects/pack and branches/ is totally empty.

The config I used:

source:
  github:
    - token: myToken
    # alternatively, specify token in a file, relative to current working directory when executed.
      # token_file: token.txt
      #user: nidomiro # the user you want to clone the repositories from.
      # if you want to get everything from your user, leave out the user parameter and just use the token.
      # for the clone process, either use:
      # - username + password
      # - sshkey
      # - token
#      username: nidomiro # user is used to clone the repo with
#      password: your-password
#      ssh: true # can be true or false
#      sshkey: /path/to/key # if empty, it uses your home directories' .ssh/id_rsa
#      exclude: # this excludes the repos "foo" and "bar"
#        - foo
#        - bar
#      include: # this includes the repo "foobar"
#        - cooperspencer/gickup
#        - hashicorp/nomad
#      excludeorgs: # this excludes repos from the organizations "foo" and "bar"
#        - foo
#        - bar
#      includeorgs: # this includes repos from the organizations "foo1" and "bar1"
#        - foo1
#        - bar1
      wiki: true # includes wiki too
      issues: true # back up issues, works only locally
      starred: false # includes the user's starred repositories too
      filter:
#        stars: 100 # only clone repos with 100 stars
#        lastactivity: 1y # only clone repos which had activity during the last year
#        excludearchived: true
#        languages: # only clone repositories with the following languages
#          - go
#          - java
        excludeforks: true # exclude forked repositories

destination:
  local:
    # Export this path from Docker with a volume to make it accessible and more permanent.
    - path: /backup-data/
      structured: true # checks repos out like hostersite/user|organization/repo
      zip: true # zips the repository after cloned and removes the repository afterwards
      keep: 5 # only keeps x backups
      bare: true # clone the repositories as bare
      lfs: true # clone lfs repos, !! ATTENTION !! git and git-lfs must be installed on the system!

    maxage: 7 # keep logs for 7 days

I'm using the docker image: buddyspencer/gickup:ubuntu-latest with the ImageID 3d9a76d5d0ea

How can I fix this and get backups of these issues?

[cooperspencer]

Hi,
1714161233 is the timestamp of the backup. You use the keep parameter and that creates each backup with the unix timestamp as its name. As for the reason you can't backup the issues, that seems to be a bug. I changed something in the last release to create directories and I seem to overlooked this one.

I just merged a fix for that, you can try to run it via buddyspencer/gickup:ubuntu-dev, this container is build via the latest changes in main. Please let me know if it works for you.

It downloads the issues now, thanks, but I still get an Warning:

Can you pull the container again and retry it? I still had a bug there.

[nidomiro]

Sorry for the delay. I just tried it again and the warning is not present anymore, thanks
