Is the consensus to migrate to Forgejo or stay with Gitea? I’m running Gitea using docked and wondering how to migrate my setup to Forgejo, if needed.

[–] estebanlm@lemmy.ml 8 points 11 months ago

I do not think there is a consensus. Personally, I am not moving anytime soon. IMO so far gitea has not done anything wrong yet (they just put them in a position where is easier for them to do it, eventually). It is still a good thing forgejo exists... but I can't stand the name, heh (also, I like the green theme of gitea :P).

Personally I am conflicted. On one side gitea switching to a for-profit is worrying, even if they didnt do anything wrong yet. I like codeberg (non-profit behind Forgejo), but I also want to support devs actually working on the product. So I think for now I'll stay with gitea, but I won't hesitate to migrate to Forgejo if they start to act stupid

gitea switching to a for-profit

It did not "switch to a for-profit". The company structure only exists to provide a way to hire gitea developers for paid work. The project owners are still elected by contributors: https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#technical-oversight-committee-toc

For now. But n the long run the focus will shift to profit. That's a totally normal thing.

I switched to Fogejo just by swapping out the image. So far gitea hasn't been malicious with its trademarks now being owned by a private company, but I feel better using software that is more closely tied to a nonprofit. I see no reason to switch back.

Probably switching container from gitea to forgejo will just work… I recently switched my deployment, "issues" I had with postgres, but it was related to updates on helm-chart part (gitea upgraded postgres as well, so either update or switch made me same work to do).
