Ive been meaning to move to codeberg, self hosted forgejo, or sourcehut so this will only accelerate that if things get worse.
I just flipped my home git to forgejo from gitlab, gitlab just had a bunch of features I wasn't using, forgejo was easy to setup and it has a nice interface. I'm just using it for source control right now, still probably huge overkill but eh
How did you set it up? I've been wanting to setup forgejo in a docker container but wasn't sure how easy the process is.
I was originally going to to go the docker route but honestly just ended up going the binary route and leaving it using sqlite as it's good enough for now. It's pretty well documented and a chunk of the prereqs I already had, like the git user creation.
Did have SSH auth issues though, probably becauae I didn't fully cleanup after uninstalling gitlab (oops), had them in parallel for a bit to migrate the repos, gitlab had it trying to use gitlab-shell which didn't exist anymore. Probably a better/proper solution but what worked was changing the git user's home directory back to /home/git as gitlab had it using a gitlab config directory. I welcome anyone giving me a better/cleaner solution for this, on my to do list to do some more cleanup.
