So, why Forgejo over Gitea? I've been pretty happy with Gitea.
Because gitea is fully the victim of corporate capture. Any PRs that make gitea better in a way that would reduce the main corporate “sponsor” profit are rejected.
The company has a conflict of interest with the community and it shows. Forgejo is sponsored by a non profit open source cooperative.
Interesting. Is there a migration path?
If you deployed with docker composr you just change the image and hit redeploy. Super simple.
Appreciate that, sounds super easy
It is. Did that when this was first announced
Huh, using their instructions for docker compose, I use
docker pull codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo:7.0.0and it errors formanifest unknown. Removing the version tag so it default to latest doesn't help.Do I need to make an account and
docker login? That seems like it should be unnecessary for a simple pull.Login isn't necessary, but there is no
:latesttag published so you need to pull a version that exists. The current version is atcodeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo:1.21.8-0or at:1.21if you want one that tracks patch updates (as found in the container registry).Ah, the docs reference V.7.0.0 so that's what I was trying with.
TY, that got her transitioned. The config actually pops a notice that 1.21.9 is available but I don't see that it's in the registry yet. I do like the :latest tag because then I can use watchtower, but I can understand why some people would want to specify the version.
