By 'Git instances' they mean Gogs instances that allow open registration. I know most of the community moved from Gogs to Gitea, and then to Forgejo, but thought this was still worth noting.

Thanks! I'll add it to the todo list.

I just did it not long a ago. Gittea -> Forgejo10 -> Forgejo11 LTS, in Docker. Surprisingly quick, painless and smooth.

(My only issue was not Forgejo, but MySQL. Because the hardware is ancient and Docker compose pulled down a new version of mysql8 at the same time as pulling forgejo. New version of mysql8 didnt support my CPU architecture. Easy fix was to change the label mysql8oraclelinux7 in Docker compose and pull that image. There is a issue with solutions in the MySQL Docker GitHub repo)

Doesn't Forgejo support SQLite as a backend?

[–] mko@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Yes, although MySQL/MariaDB or PostgreSQL are the more robust options.

[–] lambalicious@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

If MySQL is more robust than SQLite of all things, something is going seriously wrong.

Then again, it's 2025. I no longer bet on what to expect from reality. Next someone points me to a mail indicating linux kernel will move its bookkeeping to MongoDB.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 2 points 7 months ago

Depends how they define robust. MySQL has a myriad of features SLQite doesn't have and won't ever have. If they mean something like user configuration then SQLite is just out by default.

(Coming from a SQLite fan.)
