I wanted to host a Git Forge on my lab, I already had experience with GitLab but it's way too complex to justify setting it up in my home, Forgejo seems like the perfect fit for me, since I already use Codeberg and know my way around it. I might install version 10 later, wish me luck!
@Krafting @poVoq I switched from GitLab to Gitea to Forgejo.
Very happy with the transition. Gitlab is much bigger than it needs to be. Forgejo is much simpler and VERY easy to setup. Literally ~5 mins in docker.
With that said, I am solo, so got very little requirements. I don't know how it works for many users and collaboration.
https://gogs.io/docs user here. I don’t remember why. It works.
Gogs is what became Gitea, is what became Forgejo. The fork history is a bit complicated.
But if Gogs works for you, no need to change.
I just run into a problem of Gogs not working well in Podman containers. I looked at Forgejo and it appears to have rootful and rootless setup configurations in docker. Gogs run well for me as a native Arch Linux service, but not so well under containers.
