Description

I try the config field ‘SERVE_DIRECT’ which mentioned in gitea doc as Allows the storage driver to redirect to authenticated URLs to serve files directly. Currently, only Minio/S3 is supported via signed URLs, local does nothing. My config related is below:

[lfs]
STORAGE_TYPE    = my_minio

[storage.my_minio]
STORAGE_TYPE            = minio
SERVE_DIRECT            = true
MINIO_ENDPOINT          = ***:9000
MINIO_ACCESS_KEY_ID     = ***
MINIO_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY = ***
MINIO_BUCKET            = test
MINIO_LOCATION          = us-east-1
MINIO_USE_SSL           = false

However, I found nothing changes when I open this config. All lfs actions including add/download/clone are also add the I/O NET of gitea container. My docker stats i/o summary is blow:

CONTAINER ID        NAME                CPU %               MEM USAGE / LIMIT     MEM %               NET I/O             BLOCK I/O           PIDS

Is my understanding of ‘SERVE_DIRECT’ config wrong? Or it is impossibe that my lfs file upload/download request can be served by minio directly with currently version gitea.

Thanks for any related answers or suggestions.
