Self-hosted Git: server certificate verification failed. CAfile: none CRLfile: none

[dargoz]

I've Trouble when trying to setup git integration self-hosted weblate.

when I test to connect to my self-hosted repository I got an error:
gunicorn stderr | [2025-01-09 10:29:14,146: WARNING/491] Could not update the repository: RepositoryError: fatal: unable to access 'https://example.git/': server certificate verification failed. CAfile: none CRLfile: none

this is indeed normal in my internal ecosystem, usually I can fix this by adding .gitconfig with this configuration:

[http]
    sslVerify = false

or by defining sslCAInfo property.

I've Also tested on openshift terminal, and it work. but I don't know how exactly git works through weblate.
I found out that the global gitconfig stored on /home/weblate/.gitconfig
I tried to make custom image which already include gitconfig on it, for example:

FROM weblate/weblate:latest
COPY .gitconfig /home/weblate

but I still got the same error.

Anyone now how achieve the sampe configuration for weblate self-hosted? or other solution that may works?

after several check I found out that there's also /app/data/home/.gitconfig which more likely to be used (since it contain user email and name from environment variable). But at the I still don't know how to modify it. when tried to customize the .gitconfig, I got an error : with message:

CRITICALS:
?: (weblate.E002) Path /app/data/home is not writable, check your DATA_DIR settings.

It is stored on the Docker volume, you should be able to change it directly.

Is it changeable using DATA_DIR? I'm using openshift platform and it's a bit different from docker volume visibility

[dargoz]

after several experiment I've found out how to change it:

by recreating docker image from base image and add my custom .gitconfig to targeted path and set the desired user ownership

FROM weblate/weblate:latest

USER root
RUN mkdir -p /app/data/ && chown 1006250000:1006250000 /app/data/
RUN mkdir -p /app/data/home && chown 1006250000:1006250000 /app/data/home
COPY .gitconfig /app/data/home
RUN chown 1006250000:1006250000 /app/data/home/.gitconfig

USER 1006250000

it's work now

The file should not be part of the container, but stored on the /app/data volume which should use persistent storage. See https://docs.weblate.org/en/latest/admin/install/docker.html#docker-container-volumes for more info.
