I recently did try to upgrade my Gitea instance to Forgejo but it wasn't a success. I've ended with just hard re-import of the repos, of which the hardest part was manually clicking all 'orphaned' repos.
Can't say anything (good or bad) yet of this whole situation, but Forgejo has a chance to be a bit better product... while it have the manpower and funds.

Ahem.
- drcongo 3y agoI've been planning to set up a local Gitea mirror of my GitHub, given your experience of both, would you recommend Forgejo over Gitea?
- justsomehnguy 3y agoATM there is virtually no difference between them if you are interested in the basics. Mirroring was working fine in Gitea, no reason it would be broken in Forgejo. The whole ordeal reminds me of OwnCloud/NextCloud split: both are fine if you need the basics, OC is on the negative list for paywalling the already existing functionality, NC tries too hard to be Nero Burning ROM of webapps; both are shit nowadays. I didn't like how the takeover of G. went, so when I had the opportunity, I tried to migrate to F. The decision is up to you, though.

- justsomehnguy 3y agoIt's brilliant. Straight: yep, tools. Rhymes great with the intended meaning: corporate fools Can be still used straight: >> A person or group which is used or controlled, usually unwittingly, by another person or group. And finally can be used straight again: >> a foolish or unlikable person
