Rules:
Be civil: we’re here to support and learn from one another. Insults won’t be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
No spam posting.
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it’s not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
Don’t duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
No trolling.

Someone mentioned this awesome fork of it for that reason https://forgejo.org/compare/#why-was-forgejo-created
Exactly. I’d always go for Forgejo over Gitea now, especially since even Codeberg uses it (and I trust them)
Thanks! I’m a Gitea user for years and was not aware of this. I was planning my own Gitea server, I will now forgo gitea for forgejo.
I made the switch a couple of days ago. Just downloaded the forgejo binary, renamed it to gitea and dropped it in as a replacement. Now I am running forgejo successfully.
Good to know it’s that easy!
Love it when this happens, volunteer random info and someone is like yeah I actually needed this thanks haha
