Description

MySQL version: 8.0

The server won't start up and the log shows the following error message:

[...itea/routers/init.go:60 GlobalInit()] [E] Failed to initialize ORM engine: this user requires mysql native password authentication.

This error is caused by the go-sql-driver/mysql.
It seems there is no way to set AllowNativePasswords in gitea config

Is there any workaround for this issue?

[lunny]

It seems gitea could add allowNativePasswords options on connstr to do that.

so there is no workaround for now? my server is down because of that at the moment

[silverwind]

there is no workaround for now?
